September 2014 to September 2019
Overview
Against the challenging nature of critical 24/7 business operations for the force’s Contact, Command and Control (C3) Division, and a backdrop of highly politically driven objectives, direction and scrutiny, I provided ICT business solutions and change management support into a business area that previously lacked application and business process change for a period of over 15 years.
The activities involved stakeholder management at all levels of the organisation from Customer Service Advisor through to Deputy Chief Constable, as well as external assurance organisations such as Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of the Constabulary of Scotland (HMICS) and Scottish Government.
I performed a vital role in both strategic development, planning and delivery of large, high-profile transformational programmes within the division.
