Leading the smooth transition of services from project to operations by the development of support models and acceptance criteria. This covered people, process and technology (e.g. defining roles and responsibilities, recommending service availability, service levels etc. and driving stakeholder ownership). Impact: • Projects for which I managed the operational readiness were successfully and seamlessly transferred to BAU.4. As the most senior member in the team, act as an escalation point and provide cover for the IT change, incident and problem management functions.

This role was a secondment from the IT division to its Product and Business Operations department.Key Achievements1.

This involved the analysis and re-engineering of processes, web portal functionality redesign, and revision of contractual SLA agreements. I was responsible for collaborating with member institution and internal SMEs to elaborate the issues, analysing historical data and modelling as-is and to-be process flows.

The majority focused on the automation of manual tasks by leveraging the ServiceNow platform, generating efficiencies and service quality improvements. Examples:- Streamlined and automated the new starter process and provision of common requests (e.g. software, system access etc.). The impact was improved operational efficiencies and reduced onboarding time allowing new starters to be productive sooner.- Reducing manual handing and time to resolve incidents by integrating ServiceNow with an enterprise monitoring application.- Reduced service impacts due to IT changes by automating the assessment of Change Requests against other concurrent Change Requests affecting the same service.• Major Incident Manager, leading cross functional teams of technical and customer support staff to resolve critical incidents and minimise impact to services and business functions. This involved acting as the representative of IT to senior business stakeholders, communicating complex technical detail in a manner easily understood to all, chairing post incident review meetings and ensuring learnings and improvements are actioned.• Ensuring the smooth transition of services from project to operations by the development of support models and acceptance criteria.
