Mercer Program ManagementAfter a review of the Project Portfolio and making several critical recommendations, I took over the Program of work covering all transitions of clients into and out of the organisation. After the first six months, I had turned the around the delivery of the projects, initiating Steering Committees and working groups, clearer project reporting and better financial management, resulting in better stakeholder engagement and commitment and the delivery of all projects on time and within budget. I then took on another troubled program, covering all client projects. After implementing pipeline management and capacity management processes and tools and the same proven Project Governance changes, this Program was able to meet its delivery and revenue targets consistently.Telstra Agile EnablementAs part of Telstra's strategy to take their organisation Agile, I worked with a reporting and insights team over 18 months, preparing them for the change in "ways of working" and coaching them through the first 12 months after the transition. During this time, I implemented how they would interact with other teams, organise and deliver their work, and coached and trained 40+ staff members on Agile concepts, Agile tools and how to deliver projects most efficiently and effectively.RMIT Transformation Program – Data StrategyRMIT was planning a large ERP migration to Workday, covering all employees, financials, and student data. I was asked to define a Data Migration Strategy and Approach.
