Artificial Intelligence & Agentic AI Workflows · Strategy

Practical consulting for business schools, grounded in decades of project experience.

I'm Dr. Sidney T. Anderson, Associate Professor of Marketing and The Scott Emerson Professor of Business Administration at Texas State University, with more than 25 years of project-based consulting experience leading data systems, migration, and conversion work for state governments and Fortune 500 companies. I run my current work the way I have always run engagements: as projects with a defined scope, named owners, and a clear finish. DeanWorks is an independent service that assesses and reorganizes the dean's office in business schools. It studies how the office is structured, how roles and workflows fit together, how resources are used, and where automation via agentic AI workflows can streamline operations, then delivers clear recommendations and, when asked, hands-on support putting them in place. ResearchInsights turns peer-reviewed business research into short, plain-language summaries written for practitioners, so the findings that shape marketing, strategy, and management reach the people who can act on them.
