Technology Change
” Congratulations on the award. You can work on any project of mine. That was an amazing outcome given how much pressure was on the deadline! “
Project Director
National ATM replacement project. I designed and ran a workshopped for 28 senior stakeholders (CBA, EDS, TNT, Armaguard, IBM) to produce an executable project and change plan to replace ATMs nationally. The outcome was obvious when the Project Sponsor shouted everyone beers afterwards.
I worked initially with a bunch of project team members, bribed with pizza and softdrinks, to find out what the true rollout date was possible. It turned out there were more to the rollout than anyone knew. They shared t
the various technical teams to understand their issues, risks, and constraints. This was a key factor in the success of the project and the buy in form the many teams and companies involved.
Results: project recieved an excellence award, was delivered on budget, and on time.
Process Improvement
” I’m so glad you offered to help. Your workshop with our team uncovered a hidden problem that was costing us a fortune. We are so glad we didn’t outlay 100k’s in an IT system we didn’t need. Thanks so much! ”
Managing Director
While enjoying a glass of shiraz Trish explained their plans for their business upgrade. I offered a workshop with her team to assist with clarity on the problems, gain buy in from the team, and to focus on the best next steps. We (the team) found a problem in the management of tools. This alone reduced significant deadlines and cost blow outs.
From 3-5 hours.
Change Planning
Every business change needs a plan. Without it, expect rework.
I work with you and your team to look at current state, future state, and plan all the steps in between. It’s wise to include all team members impacted by the change. Together we build an achievalbe plan. This generates buy in and ultimately success.
The level of planning is equal to the size and complexity of the change (people, process, technology).
From 2-8 hours depending on the change.
$1,500 – $5,500*
Strategic Planning
A strategy is your ultimate ‘why’ (see Simon Sinek ‘why’ video)
I work with you to build a one on page strategy. We uncover your heart felt ‘why’, what you believe (your values), and your strategy statement (elevator pitch).
From 1-2 hours depending on the clarity you have so far.
$300 – 1,500*
Delivery
Planning
A delivery plan has the what, who, when and why (objective).
I don’t create long winded 300 line, mulit-page plans. Instead we work on a one-pager that is visual, easy to track and adaptable as delivery changes occurs. I work with you and your team to build it because when they are involved they commit to the plan. Prep required pre and post session.
From 2-3 hours (workshopping) and from 2-4 hours (prep) based on the complexity of the plan .
$1,500 – 2,900*
Business Blueprint
Business blueprints are a long term view of your business vision.
I work with you to create a 1, 2, 5 and 10 year plan. It is broken into various elements of your business and each year shows the end state for that time. It is a brilliant way to plan for the future. Post the session i encourage you and your team to fill in the deails.

Mini Courses are learn-as-you-go resources.
I have put together mini courses to share the knowledge and know how with you and your team.

Cost below is per training course.

KPIs
You manage what you measure. Let’s measure the right KPIs.
I work with you to discover the right measurements for the outputs (products and services) you deliver to your customers. We will look at cost, quality or time lead and lag indicators. Once identify I can help you design the measurement systems acordingly.
From 1.5 – 2 hours.

The best approach is for us to have a chat to see what we can achieve together.

Project Director
This project: replace all ATMs nation-wide. I was not the project manager, however I was called in to reset the project because the client was not happy and the go live date was in trouble.
I asked a few questions and it was clear the 6 week rollout commencement date was not going to happen. I put on a pizza lunch for the guys on the ground because I knew they would know what was possible. The pizza worked. It turned out there were problems relating to the rollout beyond what the Project Manager was aware of. We unpacked a range of issues, risks, and constraints, and discovered it would take 9 months to commence the rollout, not 6 weeks as expected by the client.
This required a strategic reset. I designed and facilitated a full-day workshop for 28, less than happy, senior stakeholders (CBA, EDS, TNT, Armaguard, IBM, etc.). I included the pizza guys and together with the suppliers and service providers, we produced an executable project and change plan. The project sponsor was initially sceptical, however as we got into the planning he was on the front foot with his sleeves rolled up. He must have been happy as he shouted everyone beers afterwards.
The critical success factor was to understand the sponsor priorities and ensure all the experts were included in the planning workshop. Collaboration was the winner on the day. We established great buy in, an executable plan, an agreed commencement date, and a group working together to achieve it.
RESULTS: Project recieved an excellence award, was delivered on budget, and on time. The client was over the moon.

Project Director
You’ve got this, right?
Are your meetings or team workshops as boring as a guided tour of a mashed potato museum? It might not be ‘what’ you are sharing or workshopping, it might just be that you need to be a participant and not the guy up the front of the room. Let’s face it, most of us think…
