Philippe RUIZ

Philippe Ruiz is Professor of Project Management. He holds an MS in Project and Programme Management and a PhD in Strategy, Programme, and Project Management from SKEMA Business School (2007). Prior to joining KEDGE Business School, Philippe worked on projects in the computer industry. He has consulted internationally and is highly experienced in communicating across cultural and organisational boundaries. He teaches Project Management at bachelor’s and master’s levels, in both French and English. He has supervised dozens of master’s students and served on numerous master’s and doctoral committees across Europe. His current research focuses on managerial learning in complex projects and programmes, particularly on how decision-making and strategic choices shape project performance. He is also increasingly interested in the impact of artificial intelligence on organisations and projects, and in the way AI is transforming managerial practices, knowledge production, and the broader intellectual and scientific landscape. Professor Ruiz also has a strong interest in non-traditional project settings, including arts and culture, law, and education. Passionate about how students learn, he has developed several business simulations and serious games designed to support effective project management practice.
