ABOUT KELLY WILLIAMSON

If you’re interested in talking to an experienced portfolio/programme professional with over 20 years’ experience let’s chat.I’ve spent my career leading successful delivery for the public and private sectors aligning strategic goals with technical implementation. I’m known for seeing the bigger picture and identifying and mitigating risks, particularly in relation to operational readiness and working in live environments. Often, I’m working on behalf of a contractor delivering to prestigious end-clients with clear expectations. I’ve developed expertise in the art of balancing the conflict between contract requirements and end-client expectations. As a result, I’m often asked to extend contract length or return for further contracts due to the trust and confidence in my ability to deliver outcomes.I’ll come into your organisation and rapidly understand your culture & strategy, any project scope, opportunities & risks to determine your most advantageous approach delivering:• Bigger picture perspective - pan not narrow view• Manage & deliver portfolios & programmes – developing the scope and strategic objectives• Align programs, projects and operations to corporate strategic objectives• Measure, rank and prioritise programs and projects• Balance capacity of the organisation to deliver projects and programmes with the resources available• Lead delivery of all agreed outcomes across portfolio, program and projectsSo how do I do all this magic I hear you ask…. apart from being skilled and trained in Agile, Waterfall and Prince2 ….Key Competencies & Areas of Expertise• Vision, Strategy & Leadership• Portfolio/Program management • Financial & Resource Management • Stakeholder Engagement • Business & IT alignment• Strategic Analysis• Business Transformation & Change Management• Process Improvements• Business Readiness & Risk Mitigation• Skilled Tactical CommunicatorMethodologies: Prince2, Agile, Waterfall, AMPM, GDPM, ITIL, SLDCExpertise:• Cutover• Operational Readiness• Early Life Support• Cyber Security• Digital• Transformation• Cloud Technologies• Release• Configuration• Test• Environment Management• Defect Management• Services Transition & Product ManagementI’d invite you to check out my projects section to give you a flavour of what I’ve achieved for other organisations, and the wide range of projects I’ve led and been involved in.If you like what you’ve seen and you’re looking for a portfolio/program manager who delivers, send me a DM or contact me at k••••••••@btinternet.com
