Hello! I'm Adebowale

I am a Digital Transformation Consultant, Academic, and Researcher.

 

Over the last decade, my teams have successfully automated more than 100 business processes across 4  Nigerian banks; resulting in verifiable high-cost savings, improved customer satisfaction, and achievement of other strategic business goals. 

 

As a researcher, my research interests broadly include the societal impact of digital technologies. In particular, I gravitate toward the usefulness of digital technologies by businesses,  and how digital technologies could help in advancing the UN SDGs. My recent research includes the Living Innovation project,  an EU Horizon 2020 project that seeks to co-create a home of the future.  The REBOUND project helped SMEs in East Midlands UK to leverage digital technologies resulting from the negative impacts of the pandemic, and active-DT makes sense of how SMEs in Nigeria digitally transform. It draws from my vision to see a more structured small business sector in low-income African countries, and a passion for supporting small businesses in developing country settings, particularly as businesses become more receptive to digital technologies due to the pandemic. I provide strategic leadership for this initiative.

Presently, I support the development and execution of initiatives that close the digital skill gap in the UK, the East Midlands region in particular. Such initiatives include Knowledge Transfers Programs (KTPs), Continuous Professional Development (CPDs),  Digital Skills Partnerships (DSPs), and Apprenticeships. Moreover, I am the curriculum lead for the OfS Short Course Challenge project

With regard to teaching and learning, I lead Data Scientist and Data Analyst Apprentice programmes; I also function as a module leader for a few undergraduate and post-graduate modules such as human factors in systems design, e-commerce software, global web, ICT for development, and programming with API.

I am passionate about Digital Transformation, especially as it affects people, processes, and products. mentoring comes naturally to me, and I love to make positive impacts on everyone that comes across my path as much as I could.
