Teaches at American Management Association

Peter McAliney, PhD leads the Universities and Colleges Community of Interest for the Government Blockchain Association. Most recently, Dr. McAliney led the effort to introduce a blockchain curriculum into Montclair State University’s portfolio. In his early career, he focused on the application of technology to financial services, utilities, supply chain, manufacturing, media, and healthcare. The insights he developed working with the human side of technology and aligning business processes to support a rapidly changing competitive environment, along with his research on social networking theory and distributed work, led to management consulting roles advising senior leadership responsible for provisioning a 21st century workforce. Dr. McAliney works with the private sector, professional organizations, and his colleagues to look at the organizational implications of new technologies and to develop programs that will equip an increasingly diverse workforce with those skills associated with lifelong learning, which is critical for career success.
