Perez, Pascal

Overview

Senior Professor Pascal Perez is a world leader in participatory modelling of complex socio-technical systems.

He is currently Director of the SMART Infrastructure Facility at the University of Wollongong, overseeing research in infrastructure-related fields such as water and energy efficiency, future transport and mobility, smart cities and communities, and infrastructure system engineering and logistics. As Director he is responsible for SMART’s academic governance and for establishing strategic scientific partnerships in Australia and beyond.

Snr Prof Perez was the catalyst behind the regional Digital Living Lab, a ‘smart communities’ initiative, funded by the University of Wollongong, aiming to offer a public and free-to-air internet-of-Things (IoT) network across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions in order to encourage the creation of problem-driven and community-oriented smart solutions with local start-ups, SMEs, Councils and associations.

Snr Prof Perez is a Fellow of the Royal Society of NSW and of the Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand (MSSANZ). He is also a member of the national Scientific Committee of the Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN). In 2002, he received an ARC-International Linkage Fellowship to develop social modelling research at the Australian National University.

Snr Prof Perez has published over 200 refereed articles and book chapters. In 2006, he co-edited with his colleague David Batten the book ‘Complex Science for a Complex World’ (ANU E Press).

Impact Story

MTR Project, Hong Kong (SMART Infrastructure Facility and the Collaboration Laboratory- Co-Lab)
Summary
About MTR The client organisation- MTR Corporation- is a Hong Kong-based 20K employee strong multinational organisation specialising in metro rail management and construction. MTR manages many metro systems around the world in including those in Hong Kong, Singapore, Melbourne, Dubai and Stockholm. About half the workforce is in the (Rail) Operations Division and within this division is the Learning Organisation unit who is our client for this $640,000 (Cat 3B0 contract research project (Leader Clarke, Co-Lead Perez). MTR are currently completing the world’s longest high speed underwater rail links between HK and mainland China. About the Project The research (and practice) problem is that MTR are trying to develop into a Learning Organisation (LO), after the work of Management researcher Peter Senge, that advocates an organisational culture of continual learning and innovation. Employing mixed methods design, and involving a team of researchers with a mix of specialisations (Business, Information Systems Analysts, Software Developers, Statisticians, Qualitative Researchers, Sentiment Analysis, Media Specialists, Chinese Language Experts and Text Mining). The opinion held by senior management was that MTR was not fully compliant with the LO requirements, this opinion was confirmed by the research team in Phase 1. In subsequent Phases, the researchers were contracted to propose various solutions could be put in place to facilitate improvements. The project is now at Phase 3, the deliverables are finalised by end of Sept. The project team is continuing to research the effects of our interventions and systems.

Detail of Impact
There are four major impacts associated with this project. Methodology for determining Organisational Compliance with LO: The first involves the difficult of being able to measure the degree of compliance of an organisation to Learning Organisation (LO) principles. This aspect was solved operationally for this project by developing a mixed method design using inductive qualitative analysis (thematic analysis) that was then cross references to the various main perspectives (3) and core capabilities (5) of the LO. To determine the impact of the MTR project interventions, the same approach as used in determining the compliance of MTR to LO is applied (a before and after snapshot). The expectation is that if the innovation system being developing improves one of the main perspectives (for example LO's 'Generative Conversation') then this will show up in the existence of discussions about improving communication and collaboration. System Approaches to support Enterprise Crowdsourcing of Innovation: We have already received expressions of interest from local companies (Christopher Savage from iTree) who are eager to see if there are commercial opportunities for systems like the one we have developed. This technology can be adapted to a range of different companies with a variety of moderation and meta-moderation techniques. there are potentially a range commercialisation opportunities. Retheorising LO: Both the literature that describes LO and that which provides details about determining the value, significance or achievement of the an organisation with respect to LO main perspectives and core capabilities appears to be untheorised. Understanding Internal and External Crowdsourcing, Crowdfunding and Open Innovation: the principle upon which this system is based is referred to as semantic emergence. This describes the process by which an evaluation of an innovation or idea emerges from the interactions of innovators, reviewers and judges of innovations. This approach can be used to provide a unified approach to internal (enterprise) and external (customer-focused) crowdsourcing, as well as crowdfunding and open innovation.

Crowdsourced Flood Mapping in Jakarta (PetaJakarta.org Project)
Summary
PetaJakarta.org (Map Jakarta) was the result of a world-first Joint Pilot Study initiated by researchers at the SMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong (UOW), in collaboration with the Jakarta Emergency Management Agency (BPBD DKI) and social media giant Twitter. Jakarta is regularly devastated by flooding during the annual monsoon. The infrastructure of this dense metropolis tends to <a href="http://voices.nationalgeographic.org/2015/11/05/how-to-draw-a-city-the-basics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lag behind its rate of growth</a>, making it vulnerable to natural disasters such as severe, city-wide flooding.Citizens had constantly criticised Jakarta’s Government Emergency Management Agency for their slow responses to natural disasters. As the tenth largest city in the world and with one of the highest numbers of Twitter users on the planet, there was an opportunity for this social media platform to play a significant role in flood management in Jakarta.For the first time, PetaJakarta.org empowered Jakarta citizens who know flooding in their locale the best, to actively report to government, enabling greater information sharing and data coordination among citizens and government agencies; this had, although long been desired, never ever possible before. Citizens of Jakarta could identify locations of flooding in real-time, helping them safely navigate the city. The novel technical solution has fostered equitable and collaborative adaptability and resilience to increasing environmental disasters with climate change.

Impact Story

MTR Project, Hong Kong (SMART Infrastructure Facility and the Collaboration Laboratory- Co-Lab)
Summary
About MTR The client organisation- MTR Corporation- is a Hong Kong-based 20K employee strong multinational organisation specialising in metro rail management and construction. MTR manages many metro systems around the world in including those in Hong Kong, Singapore, Melbourne, Dubai and Stockholm. About half the workforce is in the (Rail) Operations Division and within this division is the Learning Organisation unit who is our client for this $640,000 (Cat 3B0 contract research project (Leader Clarke, Co-Lead Perez). MTR are currently completing the world’s longest high speed underwater rail links between HK and mainland China. About the Project The research (and practice) problem is that MTR are trying to develop into a Learning Organisation (LO), after the work of Management researcher Peter Senge, that advocates an organisational culture of continual learning and innovation. Employing mixed methods design, and involving a team of researchers with a mix of specialisations (Business, Information Systems Analysts, Software Developers, Statisticians, Qualitative Researchers, Sentiment Analysis, Media Specialists, Chinese Language Experts and Text Mining). The opinion held by senior management was that MTR was not fully compliant with the LO requirements, this opinion was confirmed by the research team in Phase 1. In subsequent Phases, the researchers were contracted to propose various solutions could be put in place to facilitate improvements. The project is now at Phase 3, the deliverables are finalised by end of Sept. The project team is continuing to research the effects of our interventions and systems.

Detail of Impact
There are four major impacts associated with this project. Methodology for determining Organisational Compliance with LO: The first involves the difficult of being able to measure the degree of compliance of an organisation to Learning Organisation (LO) principles. This aspect was solved operationally for this project by developing a mixed method design using inductive qualitative analysis (thematic analysis) that was then cross references to the various main perspectives (3) and core capabilities (5) of the LO. To determine the impact of the MTR project interventions, the same approach as used in determining the compliance of MTR to LO is applied (a before and after snapshot). The expectation is that if the innovation system being developing improves one of the main perspectives (for example LO's 'Generative Conversation') then this will show up in the existence of discussions about improving communication and collaboration. System Approaches to support Enterprise Crowdsourcing of Innovation: We have already received expressions of interest from local companies (Christopher Savage from iTree) who are eager to see if there are commercial opportunities for systems like the one we have developed. This technology can be adapted to a range of different companies with a variety of moderation and meta-moderation techniques. there are potentially a range commercialisation opportunities. Retheorising LO: Both the literature that describes LO and that which provides details about determining the value, significance or achievement of the an organisation with respect to LO main perspectives and core capabilities appears to be untheorised. Understanding Internal and External Crowdsourcing, Crowdfunding and Open Innovation: the principle upon which this system is based is referred to as semantic emergence. This describes the process by which an evaluation of an innovation or idea emerges from the interactions of innovators, reviewers and judges of innovations. This approach can be used to provide a unified approach to internal (enterprise) and external (customer-focused) crowdsourcing, as well as crowdfunding and open innovation.

Crowdsourced Flood Mapping in Jakarta (PetaJakarta.org Project)
Summary
PetaJakarta.org (Map Jakarta) was the result of a world-first Joint Pilot Study initiated by researchers at the SMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong (UOW), in collaboration with the Jakarta Emergency Management Agency (BPBD DKI) and social media giant Twitter. Jakarta is regularly devastated by flooding during the annual monsoon. The infrastructure of this dense metropolis tends to <a href="http://voices.nationalgeographic.org/2015/11/05/how-to-draw-a-city-the-basics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lag behind its rate of growth</a>, making it vulnerable to natural disasters such as severe, city-wide flooding.Citizens had constantly criticised Jakarta’s Government Emergency Management Agency for their slow responses to natural disasters. As the tenth largest city in the world and with one of the highest numbers of Twitter users on the planet, there was an opportunity for this social media platform to play a significant role in flood management in Jakarta.For the first time, PetaJakarta.org empowered Jakarta citizens who know flooding in their locale the best, to actively report to government, enabling greater information sharing and data coordination among citizens and government agencies; this had, although long been desired, never ever possible before. Citizens of Jakarta could identify locations of flooding in real-time, helping them safely navigate the city. The novel technical solution has fostered equitable and collaborative adaptability and resilience to increasing environmental disasters with climate change.
