"IT transformation is easy, business transformation is hard; the wisdom to know the difference is the key and doing both in parallel is a nightmare." Our client.

One of the largest financial services companies in the world is of course going through one of the largest change programmes. This programme is both revolutionary and evolutionary. The programme size is in the billions of dollars.

The role of the IT Transformation Director is a hybrid of the following:

• A former or current Chief Architect/CTO by trade
• A track record with large transformation programmes
• Solutions transformation at the core of your thinking
• Not a programme manager but with a clear understanding of cycles of programme management
  
• An articulate visionary who can take and apply control appropriately
• A proven track record in CXO advisory where positive manipulation for the appropriate business outcomes is your USP
• Absolute integrity without fear (never afraid to tell a board they need to think differently)

One of the most challenging roles in the world, where you will influence a $multi-billion programme from both a tactical and a strategic view.  You will become the hub for all future IT transformation agendas.
