Biography

Dr. Regal's research focuses on the dimensions of coordination and collaboration, including how organizations work collectively and engage with service users, as well as how cultural expectations and governance traditions influence participatory processes within organizations and networks. This research aims to better comprehend how organizations can collaboratively deliver public value with service users and communities.

Currently, Dr. Regal is collaborating with Professors Damian Grimshaw, Marcela Miozzo, and Jonatan Pinkse on a UKRI-funded research project. This project investigates the transition to net zero transport, revealing a complex landscape where private firms engage with local governments, navigating the delicate balance between profit-making, accountability pressures, and public interests. She has also started working with the Centre for Sustainable Business to explore how local governments and firms can better collaborate to find localised solutions to sustainability issues.

Dr. Regal formerly worked as a research assistant on COGOV, an EU Horizon 2020 project (grant number 770591), where she coordinated the delivery of a pan-European work package and co-authored several reports alongside COGOV colleagues.

Dr. Regal is also an Associate Fellow of Advance HE. She has contributed as a graduate tutorial assistant on a range of courses at both the undergraduate and master's levels. These courses include Social Science and Modern Business, Organization and Management of the Public Services (MSc), Organizational Research Methods, Qualitative Research Methods I and II, Quantitative Research Methods I and II, Leadership: Theory and Practice, and Organizational Change. She has also delivered guest lectures on collaborative innovations in public management and collective leadership at King’s Business School.

Her work has been published in leading journals, including Policy and Politics, Public Policy and Administration, and Public Management Review.

Dr. Regal joined the Productivity Institute and Centre for Sustainable Business after receiving her PhD in Public Administration and Organization Studies. Prior to her PhD, she worked as a secondary teacher and for Teach First in both school relationships and as a coach for second-year teachers.
