About Freelancer
I am an Industrial Engineer with a background in Banking, Procurement and Logistics, as well as extensive experience in ICT Business Analysis and Business Process Engineering. I have held several permanent positions and have also worked as a consultant across a variety of industries.
I am analytical by nature, while also being able to see the ‘bigger picture’, guided by the principles of Applied Systems Thinking. Over the years, I have come to understand the importance of strong people skills and effective stakeholder engagement when developing solutions. By involving stakeholders throughout the process, I believe they are more likely to take ownership of the solutions developed.
A successful business solution is about far more than an application or system alone. It encompasses business processes, hardware, human resources, change management, training, documentation, accurate data, and physical resources, among other elements.
I am a team player who believes that the true efficiency of a business solution and process design is ultimately measured by how effectively it is utilised by the end-users.

This includes the importing of around 300 payrolls on a monthly basis from 20 different application systems. The user requirement defines the configuration and customization requirements of the application system to meet very unique partnership agreements between the employer (Eskom), the contractors and trade unions. The stakeholders involved are Eskom (Utilities Company), primary contractors (more than 300 sub-contractors), trade unions, and two vendors (Symplexity and Time Data Sequel) providing the integrated solution.
