ABOUT LISE SMITH

SENIOR PROJECT MANAGERPMP certified since 2004, I have over 15 years of experience leading large, high-profile projects.I am an accomplished leader known for leveraging project management methodology to support PMO’s, energize Project Managers, and bridge gaps between diversified teams and departments. A strategist, I am able to quickly access business issues and technology challenges to identify areas of improvement, and transparently align communication activities and engagement initiatives with internal and external teams to proactively address potential problems and salvage troubled projects. I particularly enjoy mentoring and coaching new Project Managers to effectively lead projects through the full project life cycle from planning (SOW, contracts, schedules, and budgets), through design and development to implementation and governance (change control, user acceptance, and risk) and stakeholder acceptance.An advanced communicator, I capitalize on a rare combination of innovation paired with business technical acumen to explain how projects add value and support overall business strategy.LEADERSHIP— Business Strategy / Goals — Team Leadership — Conflict Management — Change Management— Stakeholder Commitment — Organizational CulturePROJECT PORTFOLIO GOVERNANCE— Portfolio Prioritization — Resource Planning — PMO/PM Budgeting — Risk & Issue Management— Methodology Development TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT— PM Tool Development — Technology Upgrades — Process Standardization— Finacial Reporting — Methodology Implementation — Project / Feedback Tracking
