Technical Project Manager for Network Based Antivirus:
The role was mainly focused around setting up the project properly, i.e.
- to develop the Project Mandate and have it agreed with the stakeholders
- to structure the work in a way that it could be handled by the technical organization in co-ordination with other ongoing projects
- to define the work products, drive & monitor their production and communicate & agree their results
- to support Product Marketing to develop the requirements in a way they could be taken on by the technical organization
- to secure technical resources to perform a Feasibility Study
In addition to that support was provided to other projects to help their Technical Project Manager to do the same for their projects.

Drive the optimisation of a recently acquired infrastructure - with 8m active users and 45 BSC & MSC locations - within the client organisation:
* Verify and consolidate provided data (on current cost, coverage, utilisation, usage uptake, transmission, etc.)
* Develop traffic distribution based on a gravity model (because reliable data was not available internally)
* Consider overall cost-benefit effects of co-locating BSCs with MSCs or several MSCs (transport vs. location related costs)
Much of this work was carried out by using a set of modeling tools (traffic forecast, traffic distribution, transmission, service mix models) that had been developed by a colleague of mine and myself.

Within WFI - which is more an engineering company - I was part of the small consultancy group that was based out o the UK.
I did a number of consultancy projects as well as an - increasing - number of assignments in interim management roles. This takes mostly place in very dynamic environments - either large start-up or re-org projects - where it is vital to be flexible to take on roles that open up as the project moves ahead while others or filled by fixed staff.

After the project had been progressing for quite a while already, Senior Management was not satisfied with the visibility of overall progress, issues and risks. We were called in to manage the set-up of the programme management office for a nationwide GSM mobile operation launch in a top 3 European country.
Our deliverables included:
* Define the deliverables for the funtional projects which enabled the operations launch
* Assign ownership against those deliverables to the various functional teams and projects
* Gain consensus on a baseline plan, which was signed-off by the functional heads
* Design and implement the company-wide status and progress reporting
* Enable the consolidation of the functional project plans into one single plan for the whole project, showing potential milestone slippages as well as well as the up-to-date progress of each milestone
* Provide Senior Management with programme evaluation/recommendation reports
