Technical Project Manager for Network Based Antivirus:
The role was mainly focused around setting up the project properly, i.e.

- to define the work products, drive & monitor their production and communicate & agree their results

- 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:

* 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. -
Managing Consultant

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 -
