Since she left the private sector as a senior executive to pursue a second career in Academia, she has studied how to maximize the effectiveness of IT-enabled organizational performance. Her research has specifically focused on the role of the increasing importance of cross-functional knowledge sharing and virtual competence as mechanisms to enhance value creation from technology. Her most recent projects examine digital transformation initiatives in the health care sector, specifically how to effectively achieve electronic health record implementations in hospital settings. Her work has been published in Journal of Management Information Systems, Information Systems Journal, Human Resource Management, International Journal of Knowledge Management, Human Technology, Leadership in Health Services and many other journals. She has successfully supervised nine PhD students in both Information Systems at Ivey and Health Information Science at Faculty of Health Science and Faculty of Information and Media Studies.

Dr. Haggerty also has a keen interest in case-based education and how this active learning method creates significant learning experiences for students. She has taught faculty development workshops on this method for over 500 faculty members in Colombia, The Netherlands, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, the United States and Canada. In 2012 she was named to an Emerging Leaders Award in Academic Leadership from the Ivey Alumni Association and in 2014 she won the Innovations in Case Teaching Award, from The Case Centre in the UK. Dr. Haggerty is a social innovator who runs The Ubuntu Management Education Initiative (www.ivey.ca/ubuntu) with 9 African Universities in five African countries with a goal of collaboratively building capacity for case based education in African Universities while providing Ivey students with transformational learning opportunities in Africa.
