Every year or so a new buzz word becomes all the rage in business management - Agile, DevOps, Beyond Budgeting... We often fall into one or more of the following traps:1. Changing to a new, "better" way of doing things, but without robust justification or understanding.2. View the new, attractive approach as a silver bullet to all our problems.3. Dogmatically support our own favorite approach.4. Fit the organization to the new approach instead of tailoring the new approach… Show more Every year or so a new buzz word becomes all the rage in business management - Agile, DevOps, Beyond Budgeting... We often fall into one or more of the following traps:1. Changing to a new, "better" way of doing things, but without robust justification or understanding.2. View the new, attractive approach as a silver bullet to all our problems.3. Dogmatically support our own favorite approach.4. Fit the organization to the new approach instead of tailoring the new approach to the organization.5. Prescribe approaches instead of adapting to the specifics of the environment, team and task.In this study I applied holistic, systems thinking approaches to the creation of a framework that enables the creation of multi-methodology systems that do not prescribe methods, but rather adapts to the requirements of the situation and allows for the methodology to emerge. Simply put: the framework enables the hybridization of, say, DSDM & Waterfall, while infusing certain DevOps principles. Show less

    • Standard Bank

      Sept 2010 - Dec 2013

      Project Manager: Transactional Banking Products and Continuous ImprovementThe project, Custody Operations, is an initiative concerned with the standardisation and optimisation of Standard Bank's Investment Services Operations in its African HQ's. Kenya and Nigeria are focussed on at present, with the rest of Africa to follow. This has been a truly rewarding experience thus far as I have gained insight into the entire operational sphere of IB in a short time. In this challenging position the project manager's responsibility is to manage a change to a banking product, or the implementation of a new banking product from cradle to grave. Relatively simple changes result in millions saved and/or realised as processes, systems and products are optimised.Having a strong academic background in finance and banking sets me apart from most project managers, as I understand and act on the financial and strategic elements of business requests, and my hands-on approach to the technical aspects of business requirements ensures quality enablement of solutions.

      A Multi-Methodology System for IT Project Management in SA BankingAfter seven years of involvement in IT and operations in banking, always with the goal of improving processes, a study was undertaken with a focus on IT project management methodologies. The summary of the study, presented at the SA Institutre for Industrial Engineers Conference, won the best-paper reward.South Africa’s major banks – Absa, Capitec Bank, FNB, Nedbank, and Standard Bank – have implemented significant changes to their information technology project management approaches and methodologies over the past decade and will likely continue to do so. Whereas these changes require significant investment and change-absorption, the benefits do not materialize as expected. Furthermore, a growing project management approach and methodology dogmatism is prevalent among practitioners and stakeholders of information technology projects in South African banking.In response to this situation, the possibilities and needs for the development of information technology project management approaches and methodologies were investigated. Following the investigation, a Multi-Methodology System as an approach to information technology project management in South African banking was proposed as the possible and needed developmental direction; and the design requirements for the Multi-Methodology System were developed and validated.
