IT Consultant: Governance, Delivery and Transformation — from Banking to Enterprise IT
IT initiatives succeed when governance, delivery, and stakeholder alignment work together. As a PMP-certified IT consultant with deep experience in financial services and enterprise IT, I provide hands-on support across the full project lifecycle — from requirements and architecture governance through delivery and go-live.
Typical Situations
- IT transformation or modernization initiative that needs senior governance and delivery support
- Regulatory program (DORA, MaRisk, cloud compliance) requiring structured project management
- Complex multi-vendor environment with unclear responsibilities and governance gaps
- Organization seeks an experienced external perspective to assess and improve IT delivery capability
Deliverables
Governance & Reporting
Structured Governance: Governance frameworks tailored to the engagement — from lightweight agile coordination to multi-layer steering structures for regulated programs.
Risk & Dependency Management: Systematic tracking of risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies — escalated and resolved through defined governance channels.
Transparency & Traceability: All key decisions documented with rationale, alternatives considered, and stakeholder sign-off — ensuring full audit trail.
Compliance & Audit Interfaces
IT consulting in regulated environments — particularly financial services — requires seamless coordination with compliance, risk, and audit functions. I ensure that:
- Project artifacts are structured for regulatory review from the outset
- Compliance requirements are translated into actionable project deliverables
- Evidence management is built into the delivery process, not retrofitted
