About Barb Larson
I have over 20 years experience leading IT projects, programs, and organizational change initiatives. I have worked with small organizations looking to make incremental changes to Fortune 50 companies that are completing full transformations. I have experience with a variety of industries including healthcare, technology, banking, retail, and government. I pride myself on being down-to-earth and relatable, and I will hold people accountable when it matters (that\'s how I get the results you see below). I will also earn the trust of others, including clients, quickly. I enjoy coaching and mentoring others, but also learning from others, and consider myself a passionate collaborator.Notable successes:•Led a cross-functional 12+ member hybrid project team through a multi-workstream engagement for a $3B organization resulting in successful implementation of a PAM platform, DAG platform, and modernizing their IAM program•Designed and implemented a change strategy which supported over 160K cyber platform deployments for a global company on an aggressive timeline, noting only a handful of calls to their Help Desk•Enlisted to support an ailing project that was out-of-scope, and only 30% complete with 25% of timeline remaining; achieved all goals for client without extending project deadline•Conceived and implemented a new service line offering for a large organization with 45K+ employees with extremely high satisfaction rates
