College Values // COLLABORATION
For the COB, collaboration between faculty members and with industry is a key component of preparing students for the business of aviation, aerospace and beyond. Our 2024 collaborative efforts included the following projects.
Generative AI in Change Management Associate Professor Dr. Stephanie Douglas partnered with Dr. James Sulton III, adjunct faculty, to build a research project that was later adapted by industry. They looked at the role of generative AI in change management practices as it relates to work design for air traffic controllers. Their insights are critical to helping adapt the role to address workforce shortages and reduce human error. During the course of their research, Douglas and Sulton identified several opportunities for changes. Applying change management theories
enabled them to develop new work designs, which they later presented at the Association of Change Management Professionals Midwest Conference in Chicago, Illinois. Utilizing predictive analytics led to a shift toward proactive change management, rather than reactive measures that may be less efficient and resilient. The duo are now finalizing their research and plan to submit it for publication. Their research has also been utilized across multiple industries to support better work patterns and manage change.
