I worked on the implementation phase of the Planning & Forecast Development project. This project will deliver into Strategy & Planning a fit for purpose implementation of the IBM Planning Analytics system to support Student Number Planning, Research Income Planning, Finance Planning, Staff Planning and Resource Allocation Management. Leeds is the first University to attempt such an encompassing implementation of this system and will allow it to produce accurate, agile financial plans to support its strategic aims. We have a great team on board with some great ideas and we're working alongside a really capable supplier in Capita Consulting (formerly Barrachd).

With MCA Coopers I have provided specialist IT and Process consultancy services into the FE industry. I have produced reviews of IT systems, making recommendations for setting strategy at several colleges and adult learning institutions.Most recently I have been a team member of a large college turnaround and transformation programme, providing business process mapping services to inform the implementation projects and bring together teams to harmonise their working practices. Throughout this I challenged the status quo, helping to redefine services, increasing customer satisfaction and efficiency. I also managed the work to complete upgrades and improvements to the college website, including integrations with the course directory and apprenticeship vacancy data sets from internal MIS systems.

I'm currently working on two projects. Firstly, a project to produce a course information database to better manage our modules and programmes of study. The system will be used across the University for all learning opportunities and incorporate online approval workflows and publication of data to external systems. More info on our blog at http://blogs.exeter.ac.uk/criateMy second project is a programme of activities to better support and encourage the use of video through the University.
