How I do it
I apply a mix of methodologies to fit typical situations. PPS, PRINCE2, PMBok, and SAFe are a few examples. I usually cut out the admin burden and add agile elements of running meetings and follow-up on activities. Stakeholder management, problem-solving, team building, and risk management are crucial to close projects according to your KPIs.
With over a decade of experience in using tools like Qlikview, MS Project, PowerPoint, and Excel, I ensure the creation of clear SteerCo material for effective decision-making. I further provide stakeholders with tailored material that aligns with their unique roles, interests, and power influence in a project and program, recognizing their value and integral role in the project's success.
How I stand-out
Professor Malcolm Higgs, Victor Dulewics, Goleman and Boyatzis support the idea that emotional intelligence is more important than high IQ and managerial competence (MQ) for successfully delivering projects (REF1). MQ implies managing tools and techniques. Emotional intelligence is about having stamina and following through when discussions get rough and, misalignment and a lack of resources threaten your ability to deliver successful initiatives. Emotional intelligence is about self-awareness, empowerment, delegation of tasks, resilience and the know-how of getting people to enjoy working with you as a leader.
Since 2007, I have been fortunate to work with very senior professionals in project and program management, as well as program directors, COOs, and heads of PMO. I learned from the best in the industry and practiced my emotional intelligence by solving different assignments. I am also known for turning around difficult initiatives that previous leaders failed to deliver. These tricky initiatives often exhibit misalignment, disagreements in scope, inability to agree on the choice of technology, lack of resources and a lack of structure in planning and communicating progress effectively.
Enterprises I have helped with since my project management start in 2007 include Ericsson, IBM, Centralpoint Netherlands, Vincere Netherlands, Dustin Sweden, H&M Sweden, and multiple references support my ability to deliver initiatives according to agreed scope, budget and quality.
