Technological skills are already in high-demand by organisations whose highest purpose is
profit and shareholder returns.
What do these same skills accomplish when the highest
purpose of an organisation is to deploy technology for common-good – ongoing improvement of
community, environmental, social, as well as economic well-being.

Debs loves applying strategies to create a new social data model to provide
workplaces, schools and organisations ethical access to a collective dataset
of social wellbeing data, so that they can uncover the underlying causes of
social problems and can provide the right support at the right time.
My research focuses on disaster management, construction innovation,
resilience and smart cities.
I am interested in how cities, communities and organisations, including
construction organisations, plan for disasters and manage hazard events.
