Interim executive · Programme director · Adviser
From concept to a running operation.
I take IT, HR and finance transformations from concept and target operating model to a running operation, and I bring stalled programmes home.
Clear brief or no idea where to start, tight deadline, divided organisation, missing vision or a programme that has run aground: I bring concept, team and delivery together.

Wherever you start
Transformations begin in very different places. These are the six starting points I am usually called in from.
A first idea, no concept yet
Frame the problem, build the business case and the target operating model, win management approval.
No clue where to start
Assess the current state, lay out the options, agree the first steps.
Time pressure
Fix scope and plan to the deadline, set up governance and delivery quickly.
A divided or estranged organisation
Bring functions, countries or merged units behind one model, with stakeholder and change management.
No shared vision
Align management on the target picture before anything is built.
A stalled programme
Take over, find out why it stalled, stabilise, reset scope, plan and governance, bring it to go-live.
Four ways to work together
1
