Prioritisation, Sequencing and Operating Model

a-connect client, Fortune 500 life sciences and agriculture group

• Consolidated competing business needs across five businesses into one prioritised agenda: assessed 1,000+ services against value, readiness and feasibility, weighed options, trade-offs and dependencies, and recommended the sequence of work, including what had to be redesigned or stopped before anything moved. Published case study.
• Aligned business, technology and data stakeholders on priorities and decisions across five businesses with separate leadership, P&Ls and competing agendas, onto one roadmap and six shared decision principles, without formal authority over any of them.
• Translated business intent into delivery-ready requirements and readiness standards that engineering, data and architecture teams could act on, with gates that stopped anything reaching production before the process, data and accountability behind it were fit.
• Established the sustainable prioritisation and progress-tracking approach the organisation still runs: service ownership, decision rights, escalation routes, governance forums and measurement, converted into a repeatable method that later teams operate without the author in the room.

• Lead distributed engineering teams on industrial software products, owning delivery, people development and hiring
• Stay hands-on in Java/JavaEE: bug fixes and new feature development alongside management work
