SMS Management & Technology

Projects:

Transport Management Centre (TMC)

The client was asking for a strategy to renew legacy core systems technology in order to eliminate technology support risks. The business was in a highly fluid state and had recently taken on significant additional responsibility. The ICT strategy and business architecture work allowed the client to make evidence based investment decisions and to establish a clear and shared understanding of the scope of the projects, the benefits that it will deliver and identify additional benefits that were expected but that needed to be programmed into other projects within the strategic project portfolio.

(Core Systems Strategy – Business Architecture)	
	
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) 

In a high-tempo environment the IT Operations Director needed support in developing business cases to guide investment decisions within a broad set of strategic ICT programs. The programs ranged from immediate problem solving to strategic transformation & innovation initiatives.
	
Roads and Traffic Authority 

Program Manager for a strategic information management program. This program included a data warehouse project for a major government department. This initiative includes 2 technology transformation work streams: a data warehouse component using IBMs Infosphere suite of technologies with Cognos reporting and a GIS web service development initiative involving data format translations and identity enrichment between coordinate, linear reference and geocoded spatial information.
	
Choice (Consumer advocate)

Principal Enterprise Architect for a major digital business transformation program. A business based on subscription and membership needed to move an online, transactional business model and to use cloud technologies. My role was to shape out the overall business and enterprise architectures and to propose a way to innovate in customer life-cycle management and digital marketing.

Queensland Government Chief Information Office

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲: 𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 $𝟭𝟱𝟬𝗠 / 𝘆𝗿

Developed the Queensland Government Enterprise Architecture (QGEA) Framework, a pioneering approach to managing the $5.5Bn ICT asset portfolio of the Queensland Government.

Provided expert advice and mentoring to over 20 government departments and their senior executive on using the QGEA and our evidence-based planning methods for strategic ICT planning and developing EA capability maturity. This provided comprehensive guidance for cost reduction, strategic transformation and digital innovation programs across the sector and is estimated to have saved more than $150M.

Led the planning to integrate information architecture across the sector. The government did not have a good handle of its portfolio of information assets or how to integrate them and I was asked to coordinate the information architecture managers from across the sector to develop a strategy that would enable the government’s Right To Information reforms (like GIPPA in NSW). 

Represented the Queensland Government, The Department of Premier & Cabinet and the Treasury on all COAG programs with a technology & innovation component.

Manager, Strategic Policy and Enterprise Architecture 

Working in the Program Management Office, primarily focussed on development of portfolio, program and project management accross agency. Focus is on ICT governance but recently begun to include major scientific, construction, infrastructure and business programs &amp; projects. 

Also lead the implementation of Enterprise Architecture for the business.

Manage $75M application portfolio for NRW and oversee the project assurance activities for NRW. Provide advice and review for key projects, documentation, technical plans and project governance. Currently working on the development of a project assurance framwework and developing a complementary software QA framework to guide, streamline and integrate software intensive projects.

Leading establishment of an Enterprise Architecture at NRW as De facto Enterprise Architect. This integrates with whole-of-government ICT strategy while contextualised for the special nature of NRW which leads QLD's spatial community and so has a huge usage of GIS systems and so a v. challenging need for quality metadata regimes.
