I found you a pleasure to work with. You were thorough, produced a high quality of work and were emotionally intelligent in your contribution. I would employ you!
- Mark Dalton, Expleo UK![]()
Alisdair took over a large SAP implementation that was extremely challenging and immediately brought a calmness and a huge amount of energy to the team to push it successfully over the line. He builds strong teams that work together and for each other and despite the challenging deadlines, maintains a great morale. He is a deliverer, extremely tenacious in his nature and a pleasure to work with.
- Dan Barlow, Kagool Data![]()
Kagool had a large global Data Migration and Integration SAP delivery with dependencies on multiple complex IT systems, each maintained by separate suppliers where incumbent inter-supplier relationships were significantly strained. The customer maintained a high benchmark for delivery as this was a time sensitive big bang delivery where a high probability of a predictable outcome was required. Alisdair provided non-partisan senior leadership closing the divides across the multiple IT delivery partners, brokering arrangements, encouraging & challenging the existing suppliers to deliver beyond their existing SOWs and created a single cohesive & co-operative supplier Data Delivery Programme from the end Client's perspective on behalf of Kagool.
- Head of IA, London Borough Council![]()
Katie is, as ever, a key reference point for us when it comes to any issues we have relating to project management. Her experience in this field is invaluable and I always know that if she is involved in one of these reviews that the outcome will be a clear, well written report with realistic actions that the team agrees with.
- Director of Transformation, London Borough![]()
Professional, sensible, pragmatic, realistic – all words which come to mind when I think of Katie. Her advice to my programmes has been invaluable.
- Guy Sorrill, Sysdoc![]()
Alisdair was introduced to Jaguar Land Rover as the SAP TURBO Programme was very behind due to poor programme management. Alisdair brought a direct, pragmatic and business-centred approach, which ensured an enhanced level of engagement between IT/programme and organisation. He combined this approach with a deep and passionate understanding of SAP and ERP Programmes to ensure that TURBO then went live on time, to budget with a planned and funded early life support period ensuring business expectations were met.
- Sarah Burton, Pladis![]()
Alisdair was part of the Pladis SAP leadership team and I worked with him on the commercial aspects of the SAP transformation programme. Alisdair helped resolve ongoing commercial negotiations with the SI's and worked with me on the SAP support and licensing scope and provided the SAP assurance overview. Alisdair has a deep working knowledge of all aspects of SAP and the means to deliver business transformation.
