Four ways I can help.
Every assignment is led by me personally, full-time or part-time, for a few months or several years.
Interim IT director / CIO
I take responsibility for the IT department during a vacancy, a transition or a turnaround, and make sure my successor finds a stable organisation.
- Day-to-day leadership of the IT team and budget
- Vendor and contract management
- A seat at the management or board table
- Recruitment and onboarding of the permanent successor
Programme recovery
I make a realistic new plan, win back the stakeholders and re-mobilise the team.
- Independent review within weeks
- New planning, deliverables and governance
- Firm agreements with suppliers
- A team that believes in the programme again
Programme management for SAP & ERP
I lead the programme end to end, from design and planning to cutover and the first months in production.
- Template design and roll-out
- Release upgrades and migrations
- Steering committee and PMO
- Cutover and hypercare
Building IT delivery organisations
I design and build the organisation, hire the people and set up delivery that keeps working after I leave.
- Operating model and processes (ASL / BISL)
- Agile, Scrum and DevOps delivery
- Balance between internal staff and offshore partners
- Recruitment and team development
Clear from the first week.
Every assignment follows the same four steps. The pace depends on the situation; the order doesn't.
Listen
Two to three weeks of conversations, documents and a look at the landscape. You get an honest picture of where things stand.
Plan
A realistic plan with clear deliverables, owners and governance, agreed with the board and the team.
Deliver
Hands-on leadership of the team, vendors and risks, with short reporting lines and no surprises.
Hand over
The organisation runs it without me. Knowledge, processes and people are in place before I leave.
Three ways to work together.
From a few weeks of independent advice to a multi-year leadership role. We agree the form that fits the situation in the first conversation.
Interim IT leadership
I take a line role, such as IT director or head of applications, for a fixed period. Full-time or part-time, with a clear handover to a permanent successor.
Programme leadership
I am accountable for one programme, from plan and governance to cutover and handover to the line organisation.
Independent review
A short assignment of a few weeks: an outside view on a programme, an IT organisation or a vendor proposal, with written advice for the board.
Let's start with a conversation.
Tell me where you stand and what needs to happen. Within an hour we'll both know whether I'm the right person for it.
