As a Change Management consultant and OKR Coach, I help growing organisations close the gap between strategy and execution — across PMOs, change programmes, and operational systems. Disconnected processes, weak governance, and poorly configured tools create delivery gaps that erode investment value. PMP Certified with 20+ years of experience leading global transformation and management consulting engagements, I bring a structured and practical approach to execution. I do this by deploying change management that drives real adoption, implementing OKR-based strategy execution systems integrated with work management platforms, and building PMOs that function as strategic enablers. I focus on building execution systems — not just advisory frameworks — so teams can sustain results independently. 🎯 I typically support clients to: ▪ Fix underperforming or unclear PMOs ▪ Improve project delivery, governance, and reporting ▪ Implement OKR-based strategy execution systems ▪ Select and deploy the right project/work management tools ▪ Strengthen change adoption across transformation programs ▪ Conduct business diagnostics and maturity assessments to define a roadmap for scalable growth ⚒️ My approach is practical and structured: ▪ Assess current state (maturity, gaps, risks) ▪ Define target operating model ▪ Build implementation roadmap ▪ Support execution and adoption 💼 Core Consulting Capabilities 🏛️ PMO Setup and Project Governance I help organisations build or transform project management offices into strategic delivery engines. ⚡ Key engagements include: ▪ PMO transformation and governance design ▪ Project management maturity assessments ▪ Risk management frameworks and escalation structures ▪ Project scheduling and delivery standards ▪ Portfolio performance dashboards and analytics 🔄 Change Management and Transformation Adoption Transformation investments fail when adoption is treated as a project task rather than a programme discipline. I bring both the change architecture and the human adoption rigour to make transformation stick. ⚡ I support transformation programmes through: ▪ Change strategy, governance frameworks, and integrated change management plans ▪ Change Impact Assessment grounded in McKinsey 7S — examining change across seven interdependent organisational elements ▪ Organisational Change Readiness Assessment — four-dimension diagnostic with automated scoring to support proceed/pause decisions ▪ Resistance risk assessment and resistance management — converting resistant stakeholders into advocates through demonstrated value ▪ Stakeholder engagement infrastructure — multi-channel communication, senior stakeholder pulsing, and real-time issue tracking ▪ Change delivery leadership across regions, functions, and rollout waves — including UAT, cutover, and stabilisation ▪ Adoption measurement grounded in outcome-based metrics — shifting the success measure from compliance to internalisation 🧭 Strategy Execution and OKR Deployment I help organisations translate strategic intent into measurable operational execution. ⚡ Services include: ▪ OKR framework design and deployment ▪ Balanced Scorecard strategy execution models ▪ KPI development and performance tracking ▪ Strategy maps and execution governance ▪ Process and operational excellence initiatives 🛠 Project Management Tools and Platforms Asana | Smartsheet | Microsoft Project | Planview | Projectplace | Power BI | SharePoint 🏆 Key Achievements ▪ Developed a project knowledge management system unlocking €30M in potential savings ▪ Designed automated maturity assessments reducing evaluation time from 5 days to 30 minutes ▪ Implemented enterprise project scheduling standards across global teams ▪ Built KPI analytics dashboards supporting executive portfolio oversight ▪ Delivered training and capability development programs for more than 3,000 professionals 📜 Certifications ▪ Project Management Professional (PMP) ▪ APMG Change Management Foundation ▪ Lean Six Sigma Black Belt ▪ OKR Certification: Leadership & Goal Setting ▪ PMI-ACP Agile Certification ▪ Smartsheet Core App and Builder Certification ▪ Asana Ambassador, AI for Work, and Workflow Specialist (Trained) 💡 Thought Leadership 📝 80+ Project Management Posts | ✍ 600+ PMP Questions Published 🥇 Awards & Recognition ▪ Best Suggestion Award – Process Improvement (Alfa Laval) ▪ Cash Prize – Technical & Strategic Articles (Indian Navy) ▪ PMI Editorial – Featured expert views on strategy & cost estimation 🤝 Engage me to build execution capability — not advisory theory — and to leave behind systems that sustain performance.
