      Principal Consultant

      My ability to interpret complex and often changing requirements for major change initiatives, coupled with a commitment to effective communication and outcomes focused project management, has resulted in the successful completion, and often extension, of my assigned projects. During much of the past 10 years I have been a Mango embedded resource at BHP, as a Project Training Manager for several information management (IM) system rollouts, the design and implementation of the Integrated Remote Operations Centre (IROC) Orientation Program, and the governance of controlled documentation. More recently as a Mango Principal Consultant, I have managed several change projects for Sinopec, Total Oil and Gas, Serco, Department of Education, Water Corp and Department of Fire and Emergency Services as well as been a key facilitator of programs for HBF Friendlies Pharmacy, QANTAS and Department of Health.I have used my communication, business analysis, change and project management skills to deal with a range of challenging stakeholder engagements, overcoming resistance and implementing pragmatic solutions that clients have been able to sustain. Gamification, Change Mapping and Information Management reviews are new areas of expertise that I look forward to sharing with my past and future clients. Show less

      Delivering efficient, cost effective and proactive Information Management Services to the Business using Agile development / SCRUM methodology means we can accelerate digital innovations. I continue to engage a wide range of business stakeholders, gathering requirements, advising on best practices, and coaching in productivity tools but I'm spending more time now on identifying opportunities to develop solutions using automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Building on my consulting work in Information Management at mining, oil and gas and government agencies I am now delighted to be engaged by Titan Recruitment to work for Chevron Australia. With a major portfolio of change projects in IM services provided to the business, its great to be part of a team partnering with business units to leverage the latest software solutions for optimising information management.
