Patrick Bossert
Data Strategy, Governance, Engineering@Future Edge Consulting
Verified
I work with executive teams and boards of infrastructure businesses looking to make better use of data and AI to realise improved business, economic and ESG outcomes.
The results of my work can be seen in improved infrastructure service availability for customers, lower carbon impacts and better economic returns for taxpayers or shareholders. I take an ISO55001 whole-asset-system approach, enabled through insight from data.
How can I help you? I have run major ($500m+) operational transformation programmes and know most of the pitfalls. I can help you with independent assessment, advice and coaching on data strategy, governance and data-enabled transformation approach. Or, if you prefer, I can get hands-on and help you design your data architecture, data operations and transformation roadmap.
What makes me different from Big-4? I'm ex-big-4 so I should know... in general, their strength lies in back-office transformation of HR, Finance and Procurement systems. My strength, and extensive experience, is in transforming the messy world of front-office value-chain processes in railway, highways, defence and energy infrastructure.
I'm current on good data governance, data science and AI developments, too. I even teach data science part-time at UNSW Mentem, part of the University of New South Wales.
