REQUIREMENT 3
Oversee and prioritize IM's projects, managing decision-making, timelines, resources, and progress assessment, making course adjustments when necessary.
Relevant Experience
Developed project portfolio program for BCI and WSIB Finance divisions to prioritize, report and oversee 10+ concurrent projects and measure against defined outcomes (budget, benefits).
Developed and responsible for implementing several business plans at BCI and WSIB including Finance division (90 FTE/$15M annual spend) and large technology projects (SimCorp and Guidewire) (both representing 100 FTE/$75M three year spend) as well as responsible for developing annual capital and operating budgets.
Initial Approach
Meet with IM staff to ensure I had a comprehensive list of IM projects (what, why, who, when, status, health). Develop “Baseball Cards” (plan on a page) to ensure IM leadership is aware of required resources (people, funding and consultants) to validated and prioritize projects.
Questions
Do you think there are side projects happening that IM leadership is not aware of?
Are IM projects funded from operating funds or a separate project envelope?
Do you feel the IM staff have little, some or lots of capacity to take on ad hoc projects?
