Dave Clayton
A proven, successful consultant able to deliver a unique depth & breadth of experience with gravitas, passion & enthusiasm to produce results under extremes in today’s digital/cloud transformation programmes across multi-functional/multi-national/multi-cultural boundaries. Both skilled & experienced to wear many hats (often at the same time):
Adding true value to client objectives in CRM, ERP, Data Management, Information & ITsecurity, Application Migration, API & Application Development together with associated Data Migration as part of cloud & digital transformation objectives.
University educated, combining excellent commercial acumen with technical prowess, maintaining the ‘big picture’ alongside a keen eye for detail and a ‘right, first-time’ philosophy, together with the intuition to ‘see around the next corner’.
Well suited to major transformation programmes, involving people, process and new technology.
Confident in developing end to end strategies and road maps with senior executives and working closely with peers to create pragmatic, efficient and effective plans, before driving them through to successful completion.
Skilled & certified in the application of recognised Agile, Waterfall & hybrid methodologies across the full SDLC, especially in ‘difficult’, time-sensitive, complex & ‘recovery’ projects. Adept at communicating effectively with peers & stakeholders across all levels, creating enduring relationships. Often seen as the person who glues everything & everyone together with infectious enthusiasm and energy.
Experienced working on both sides of the ‘consultancy fence’ alongside major consultancies, service providers & 3rd party vendors.
NB: Took time out of Project/Programme Management to avoid burn-out and returned to techie-world’ with IKEA to master the Oracle Tech-stack for integration. Luckily, for IKEA, I was also able to help them with my project & programme management skills. Always looking for that challenge and that leap into the unknown.
