Henk has more than two decades of project and programme management experience. In parallel he played delivery director roles in two consulting firms before joining Deloitte in 2016.
A master’s degree in Future Studies kindled a deep interest in complex systems thinking, and how this changed expectations of the project manager role, conditions for team performance and definitions of project value. He led various CX and data & analytics transformation initiatives over the past seven years. These gave him direct experience of success factors and points of failure on complex digital programmes.
Henk currently leads Deloitte Africa’s Transformation & Delivery Management practice. The practice offers services in programme leadership, lean portfolio management, Agile transformation, programme assurance and rescue.
Leadership and team experience is critical for digital transformation programme success. This can be in short supply as organisations must compete for the same pool of highly experienced people. When digital change programmes rely on innovative new technologies, previous execution experience at scale is even scarcer. This forces programme teams to “learn” their way to successful delivery. This talk will provide mechanisms to accelerate learning, with a focus on data-driven insight.
