Consultancy services
For consultancy services from a skilled and experienced professional working, contact Business in Movement and find out how I can help.
Project Management
I can manage your project from A to Z, from the initial analysis phase to the training and documentation stages. I work within your company, collaborating with your team to deliver your project on time. By completely immersing myself in your organisation, I can understand your objectives and the challenges you face, enabling me to deliver the most efficient and successful project management service.
Business analyst
I have a financial background which has evolved into a larger business scope, with constant interaction with other departments. I enjoy analysing and working with figures in order to support a strategy or a specific project, and thus enhance company performance. I’m naturally interested in understanding your business & customers, and finding ways for your teams to improve what they do.
Finding the right tool
What is the right tool for you? How can you make the right choice?
I can help you by preparing a demo with the software supplier using your own data. During the demo, you will recognise your own data in a new environment/tool. This will clearly help you to visualise how the future system will work within your organisation. We can compare 2-3 tools with each other so that you can find the best system for your company.
Defining Dashboards & KPI's
Do you know your critical KPIs? Or are you lost in all the available reports?
I am particularly valued for my capacity to transform complex data into simple, visual messages. In an international matrix company, I created a clear reporting structure for the European top management with an overall view. This led to the reorganisation of the operational data within the relational database. I have also developed a common approach to monitor KPIs for different business units and have even encouraged production teams to use financial KPIs.
Data Quality & Processes
Maintaining data integrity and defining clear processes is key to keeping users on board. If the data is wrong, incomplete or missing, users will not trust the tool and will abandon it quickly. As a result, they will build their own database (most of the time in excel spreadsheets) and/or enter the info as they think it should be. Each user will build their own world and their own truth.
Working with key users in building, organising and maintaining data really adds value for your organisation. This is a long process starting at the beginning of the project, and I will guide you through the journey of achieving data integrity and setting processes.
End Users Training
It's frustrating when you pay for training and you only get a single session without any follow-up.
I will use real data & processes from your company and build the training you need, step by step according to the audience (by department, by role, ...).
This will allow the end user to assimilate the new stuff progressively. All end users will receive a user manual and documented support for new processes and procedures.
