Research

Research brings together Fiona Chan’s core bodies of work, empirical research projects and analysis of real cases and organisational decisions. Together, they examine how organisations make decisions that affect people, where privacy risk is created, and what capability organisations need to intervene early enough to change outcomes across privacy, data and AI governance.

Core work

How organisations make decisions that affect people, where privacy risk is created, and what allows privacy to change the outcome.

What an organisation needs to be capable of doing if privacy is to operate as a decision capability.

How decision rights, interfaces, accountability and escalation make that capability possible.
