Work Background
Independent ConsultantICT Project Leader
Sep. 2020
Bizmod ConsultingSenior Process Engineer
Jul. 2018 - Feb. 2020Johannesburg Area, South AfricaAfter a long and rewarding career as an Executive Systems Manager in various corporates, I now find myself back in the saddle.
You can't keep a good man down :-) My considerable business experience plus the numerous training courses I have attended enable me to use practical examples of to-day’s South Africa, and to be innovative in the manner in which I transfer skills and experience to learners who are new to the work environment. Other assignments include Project Leadership, direct or coaching, to ensure projects are properly aligned to corporate goals and to then coach the project teams in successful achievement of their project outputs. This has been primarily on the implementation of required Governance. My responsibility is not only to have required Governance implemented in business processes, but also to ensure development of the staff so they are able to undertake future projects without coaching. When required I combine my TEFL training and my business experience to give young executives the command of Business English and the professional writing standards that will assist then in advancing their careers.
