Dr Phil Ramsey PhD

Senior Lecturer

Doctoral Supervisor
School of Management

Phil has taught at Massey University since 1988, teaching at both postgraduate and undergraduate level and both internally and extramurally. Phil's background is in Training and Development, though his interests have broadened to embrace the field of Organisational Learning, and the impact of culture on learning and change. He has a particular interest in leadership, change and organisational learning in the field of education. Research has included leadership in 'collectivist' cultures such as Indonesia, and the professional practices of trainers working in the domain of Emotional Intelligence.

PhD supervisions include:

Peter Blyde: Models of leadership in New Zealand

Dodi Irawanto: Paternalistic Leadership in Indonesia

Lesley Gill: Practices of Emotional Intelligence training practitioners

Sajid Khan: Mental models of innovative educators

Recently, Phil has been working on the development of a software-based system for training administration, known as Skill Tracker. This product has been commercialised by Massey University and its initial application has been in the field of Veterinary Science. The system incorporates principles of learning and aims to both (1) enhance the experience of learners by allowing them to track their progress as they acquire skills, and (2) provide decision-makers with information that allows them to manage training systems.

Dr Phil Ramsey works in the areas of HRD and Organisational Learning. He is the creator of the Training Administration tool Skill Tracker and is involved in research to do with its application. Phil has conducted and supervised research in application of organisational learning and systems thinking concepts to emotional intelligence, innovation in education and development of leadership models and practices for varying cultural contexts.

Teaching and Supervision

Teaching Statement

My academic background is in learning and development, and my teaching practice reflects my interest in engaging students with rich learning experiences that make a difference. That involves focusing on practices that students can develop and apply in different contexts. Further, throughout my teaching career I have collected concepts that enable learners to gain insight into dynamically complex situations, such as systems thinking, dilemma theory,  I aim to teach students ways of thinking that they can apply to the challenges that are most important to them. I have taught in disciplines of learning and development, organisational learning, and leadership and teamwork.

Graduate Supervision Statement

My approach to graduate supervision is based around identifying and engaging with the strengths and interests of students. My aim is to find what they care about deeply, help them clarify what they hope to achieve, and to explore with them different ways of thinking about topcs that produce rich insights into what is happening. I seek to draw on my experience with concepts such as dilemma theory and systems thinking to approach research in new ways. I encourage students to seek to generate new knowledge that makes a difference to people's practice. Often this will involve exploring perspectives that may not have previously been researched, such as those of consultants and practitioners.

Research intersts have included work on organisational culture, skills acquisition, and educational innovation. My interest in cultural dilemmas attracts me to topics that involve working across organisational boundaries.


Dr Phil Ramsey is available for Masters and Doctorial supervision.
