Dr Oliomogbe’s principal research interest is understanding the link between how organisations deploy project management and attaining competitive advantage. This focuses attention on the intangible benefits derived from the deployment of project management which are critical for the project economy in congruence with the fourth and fifth industrial revolution. These project management capabilities reflect the path dependence of organisations, and support the increasing reliance on digital technologies and digital innovation.
