The Councils ‘New Ways of Working’ programme was a business transformation driven by the opportunity to dispose of property assets valued at £10,000,000 and to drive £400,000 annual savings through better utilisation of the property assets. The team highlighted at feasibility stage that the resolution of a great number of technology challenges would be key to the success of the programme. After contributing to the feasibility work, I was initially involved in the role of ICT Programme Manager. The client agreed to expand my role to include all technologies for Face to Face customer service, Contact Centre and desktop computing putting me in an Interim Management role. I led the council IT, Legal and Procurement teams through a ‘fast-track’ process of design, selection, procurement and managed the implementation of the technologies and changes to policy and business process.
