Selected transformation outcomes

An integrated employee lifecycle

Enabled employee and manager self-service through a connected workforce platform. Led SAP SuccessFactors from business case to implementation and ongoing ownership, integrating data with Payroll, Business Intelligence, Active Directory and third-party systems.

A shared service across organisations

Established a shared-service HRIS operating model across two organisations. Expanded SuccessFactors to a second legal entity with common data, workflows and governance, tiered support and defined service levels.

Learning and compliance at scale

Delivered an enterprise LMS replacement on time and under budget for 11,000 employees. Automated mandatory training assignment by role and location, reducing administration and supporting ongoing compliance and recertification.

Led a centralised learning-record initiative from business case and executive approval through to implementation across four hospitals, designed to reduce repeated training and release staff time for core responsibilities.
