Project lead for the organisational transformation. Following the decision to move from horizontal to vertical integration, and leadership changes, I managed the organisation design and implementation of the Compliance and business performance departments nationally.The project brief was to create a vertically integrated structure, integrate compliance and business analyst roles that were embedded in difference business units, identify duplicity in roles and responsibilities and to ultimately design and deliver a sleek, high performing business unit.Strategically assessing the roles, responsibilities and vision for the future, I aligned stake holders and staff and executed the project to time, budget and without grievances or complaints.I was responsible for assessing role profiles, managing consultations, communications and engagement. This was a successful project and the organisational design has fundamentally changed the way that the organisation approaches compliance and business performance.
