      Aug 2017 - Oct 2018

      My role entailed partnering with organisations to optimise their processes and systems by gathering customer requirements, analyse transactional and operational data and perform value stream mapping to identifying areas of improvement (Continuous Improvement). After mapping and analysing the As-Is processes, I proposed and implemented cost-saving projects to increase profitability and reduce costs by streamlining processes, systems and people and ensure the correct flow of products and information through model building and scenario planning. The most exciting thing about this role was helping organisations operate efficiently to derive maximum value through the integration of people, process and technology. Show less
