About Kees De Graaf

I have over 30 years working experience as an IT Manager, Project Manager and Program Manager. I have a brought international experience. I have had both line and project responsibilities in large organizations. I have led complex implementation projects in both bespoke (a.o. .Net) and standard ERP systems (JD Edwards, IFS and others) systems and complex planning systems (based on Quintiq), during which changes to the business processes (where I can help to develop) were leading and IT the tool was to achieve this.I pay a lot of attention to the project environment (Stakeholder management). I focus on the agreed deliverables, motivates project members and focuses on their own responsibility. I act mostly on the boundary between Business Processes, Organization and IT. I make sure the changes are implemented and are used for the success of the company.Almost without exception my projects were multidisciplinary and consisted of multiple projects (on and offshore) in an environment in which conflicting or unclear personal and business interests made the project more challenging.I am pragmatic, stress resistant, reliable, positive and result focused. I am a Go-Getter and team builder.
