I am a passionate organisational transformation specialist, trusted by senior management teams to mobilise and lead portfolio governance and operations functions. I am experienced in establishing & leading portfolio governance and change activities across a number of large organisational transformations and thrive on the collaboration with teams to achieve desired outcomes. The approach I take to achieving these is ensuring an appreciation of the organisational culture, the problem in context and the drivers for change, the people involved, their buy-in and experience. No one outcome can be achieved the same way twice. These opportunities provide me with a sense of excitement and gratification through the achievement of amazing experiences and outcomes; with developed teams that are better able to utilise their full potential. I am highly values driven, organised and outcome focused, and these underpin my enthusiasm in designing and implementing fit for purpose governance, delivery, and operational models.Capabilities I bring to the table to help organisations reach these outcomes include: 🌟 Honed expertise in developing capability in teams to operate effectively whilst remaining agile and resilient. 🌟 Skilled at complex senior management and executive engagement and stakeholder management, undertaken through the development of collaborative and trusted relationships with open, consistent communication flow.🌟 Mobilisation and leadership of fit for purpose governance and delivery environments. These are developed by understanding the context of the organisation and stakeholder needs, and then designing and implementing insight driven structures, behaviours, and tools that encourage empowered delivery within guardrails providing oversight and bigger picture discernment to the health of the program.🌟 By working with teams to elicit and articulate the metrics that matter I am able to iteratively develop balanced scorecards, and establish supporting operational cadences & processes. This is resultant in the provision of operational advice on business planning, financial sustainability, and overall performance.Expertise: transformation, organisational change, project management, portfolio management, portfolio governance, leadership, capability development, mentoring, coaching, incubation operations, process design, business unit operations, facilitation, team management, stakeholder management, communication, strategic planning, financial management, analysis.
