Senior Vice President Europe
CurrentResponsible for developing business opportunities for GPD throughout Europe and supporting customers through initial design of large, complex and globally distributed project/program initiatives.GPD provides a capability – called Project Design -- to rapidly create and evaluate project/programplans that are realistic and reliable. The plans are designed by the teams on the project -- including schedule, cost, use of constrained resources, and risk management. In a collaborative, visual modeling session the participants capture the full impact of changes, variation in assumptions, architecture, and other real-world execution parameters. With Project Design teams develop a model of a project which integrates three fundamental systems: products, processes, and teams. A graphical depiction of the relationship amongst these three promotes a common view shared by management and project/program teams. A simulation engine, leveraging the model, generates forecasts with analysis across many scenarios. These forecasts provide root cause based detail of likely outcomes, including progress, risks, costs, quality, and schedule (e.g. Gantt charts are output, not input). GPD’s approach provides a powerful design space trade-off capability that delivers rapid and rigorous analysis of options. The value is a high degree of certainty in meeting product functionality, schedule and cost objectives.
