Biggest Challenge

"The biggest challenge for CMVS has been driving the change – being seen not as an IT release but a business release. Business had difficulty adapting to changes. I had to push some people – that’s not my natural way. It was hard getting business and IT to recognise what was possible – think outside the square. Then once they did we had to pare them back to what we were able to achieve."

Challenges experienced

"With IT the challenge was about bringing a culture of – if an issue is impacting business – attaching importance and fast turnaround. This has been achieved after much work.

With business it was change resistance. They had no faith or confidence that IT could deliver solutions that would support them. Initially it was a challenge getting them on board and to commit."
