Services
Three ways I can help
Engagements are typically three to twelve months, full or part time, delivered on a day rate or fixed scope. Most clients start with one of the areas below and find the others follow.
Interim Operational Leadership
A steady pair of hands in the seat, from week one.
Stepping into an operational leadership role at short notice to hold the line, lift performance and hand over a stronger function than the one I inherited.
- Cover for a vacancy or gap at senior leadership and executive level
- Rapid diagnostic of performance, people, process and risk in the first 30 days
- Day-to-day ownership of service delivery, budgets and operational KPIs
- Turnaround of underperforming functions and rebuilding management rhythm
- Structured handover and succession planning for the permanent appointment
Change & Transformation
Programmes that finish, and changes that hold.
Designing and leading transformation from strategy through to embedded, day-to-day reality — including the unglamorous work of making people want the new way of working.
- Target Operating Model design, business architecture and organisational redesign
- Programme and portfolio leadership, including recovery of stalled programmes
- Process re-engineering, cost reduction and efficiency programmes
- Executive stakeholder engagement, governance and business cases
- Benefits realisation tracking and post-implementation review
Product & Technology Design, Delivery and Implementation
Systems that land, get used, and pay back.
Owning the product and technology agenda from business design and vendor selection through to go-live, adoption and business-as-usual.
- Product ownership and digital, product-led transformation
- Microsoft Dynamics business design and agile delivery
- Solution and integration design aligned to the operating model
- Vendor selection, procurement and commercial management
- Data migration, cutover planning, go-live, adoption and hypercare
