Selected Engagements – Projects
- Using IT contractors, implemented seperate ERP Service and Project Management modules for an international technology company, enhancing productivity, profitability and customer service. This initiative was guided by a strategic approach to leadership in project execution.
- Turned around the culture of an Engineering division, which the US parent company was considering closing. From an internally focused group struggling to survive to a customer-centric team capable of winning business. Then 40% growth in one year. These results clearly stemmed from leadership that was both strategic and adaptive.
- Reviewed operations at a Superannuation Fund with over $4 billion under management. Engaged and managed contractors to upgrade office technology (Microsoft Office and Dynamics 365 CRM). This enabled remote work during COVID. (After he’d moved on).
- Rescued a project that an Industrial Automation company was delivering to a well-known brewery. The project had gone off the rails and had lost $600,000 in today’s money and it was only half completed. On completion, it delivered a profit. The success was due to applying leadership with a carefully considered strategic direction.
- Established an IT Helpdesk for a Pharmaceutical company.
