Jacky Tweedie

PhD Student (School of Public Policy and Administration)

Jacky Tweedie is a PhD student in the School of Public Policy and Administration at Carleton University. After a career in the Canadian federal public service, where she served as a director and worked extensively on transformation initiatives, she returned to academia to examine and better understand the dynamics that shaped her professional experience. 

Throughout her government career, Tweedie worked primarily on transformation files, with a particular focus in recent years on digital transformation initiatives. Prior to entering public service, she worked as a teacher, including at Carleton University. Tweedie’s professional and academic background spans multiple disciplines, providing a strong foundation for analyzing complex socio-technical systems and organizational change. 

Her research focuses on senior management decision-making behaviour related to digital transformation within the Canadian federal public service. Tweedie’s work explores how leaders navigate technological change, organizational complexity and transformation efforts in large public sector environments. 

Her combination of practical leadership experience and interdisciplinary scholarship informs her research on digital transformation and public sector decision-making.
