Specialises In (based on submitted proposals)
I am an experienced Six Sigma Black Belt with knowledge in project management, organisational change and portfolio management.
In 2006 I became aware of Agile and had the pleasure of being part of, then leading the roll out of Agile at the Enterprise level. In 2011 Lean became part of this program also. The roll out of this program has been extremely rewarding and the experience and exposure I will always draw on.
One of my key achievements is the successful implementation of the Agile Academy globally http://www.agileacademy.com.au/agile/ .
I recently moved into a role as an Executive Manager of Risk Portfolios. This role has provided me with the opportunity to use my background in Organisational Change, Lean and Agile and apply it in a completely different setting.
Agile is part of my DNA and you can apply it in many settings if there is a willingness to do things differently.

Agile - An Australian Journey of Cultural Change
45 Mins
Talk
Beginner
How did one of Australia's leading financial services organisation become the biggest Agile transformation story in the Southern hemisphere and what did we learn?
The Suncorp Group leads in general insurance, banking, life insurance, superannuation and investment brands within Australia and New Zealand. The Group has 16,000 employees and relationships with nine million customers. It is a Top 20 ASX listed company with over $93 billion in assets.
In 2007, we embarked on our Agile journey of cultural change. In this talk we will cover the strategy taken, the roadblocks we came across, the mistakes we made and the achievements along the way.
You will learn how to tackle an Agile transformation, what to do and what NOT to do, where to start and what to expect and most of all what impact it will have, both negative and positive.
Today Suncorp are seen as market leaders in Agile and are known globally for the Agile Academy http://www.agileacademy.com.au/agile/ which was designed for both staff and also the external market.
The role of the Agile PMO, how to get infrastructure to work Agile, what about all those legal challenges, the cultural differences and the resistance to change? These are some of the learning we will share.
There were challenges and successes and in this honest Aussie presentation will share with you both the highs and the lows.
