Excelled in my project and program management position
As Business Release Manager I have completed the enhancement of the Access Save Account, Decommissioning: The core objective of BigFOoT is to migrate legacy financial settlement processes off of MSA GL & Branch Accounting. The migration of these processes are a key enablement of the ultimate decommissioning of MSA GL & Branch Accounting 2. Improved financial control: Through utilising SAP we will be able to automate the majority of the end to end reconciliation processes, eliminating hand-off’s and manual processes that are susceptible to error improving overall process efficiency. 4. Customer experience: Finally, whilst more work is still needed to ensure that we deliver “what matters”, BigFOoT could be a key enabler in: - Real time transfer of value (where possible) - Providing access to more granular transactional data (for client recon purposes)
Pros: Was selected as part of the beyond excellent teams who's delivery was well manage and rewarded with a fully oversea paid trip for 19 days. Also got selected on the executive program which test and many other qualities were evaluated on looked at.
Cons: Being in a very dynamic and very high demand in delivery and successful implementation of solution is key, additional time and long hours have been incorporated into some daily activities. End result is always pleasurable and therefore satisfactory from a delivery output perspective. I enjoy this and hence do not see it as "must" or "slavery" culture however as individual self satisfactory contribution.

Opportunity to broaden insights
A typical day, would start of by giving all the ladies hugs and greeting the entire team, Checking emails and task list to ensure I am updated then it’s refreshing daily reports and looking for any abnormalities. If there are any, I make commentary and follow up on the reasons that could cause the problems. Our team is a dynamic team mixed with both young and old, relationships varies from person to person. The best part about my job is dealing with complex problems that help business make better decisions The biggest thing I’ve earned from personal point is to be more patient and be able to listen carefully to understand rather than just to respond. The most challenging part of the Job is where you have to deal with senior stakeholders that put unreasonable pressure on staff members so they can get results but meeting their expectations is also very rewarding
Pros: Greater exposure
Cons: Unreasonable demands

Great challenge
working for standard bank IT is a challenge a typical day is 12 hours of work i have to put in on most days but my co-workers make it easy because we tend help where help is needed, and i have come to learn that its not about money but doing what you love and love what you do and that you have to treat employees as family because you spend most your day with them, so i enjoy working with a lot of different people. The most challenging part of my job is fixing a system when ever its broken.
Pros: Great Opportunities.
Cons: Long Hours that are worked.

Hennie as person
I'm a people person, and most important to me is we require happy people to be succesfull. If you do not have a good relationship with your colleagues, suppliers and stakeholders you will not be able to deliver your KPI's or the strategy of the organisation you working for. Compliance is massive in each company and to ensure all is adhere to all the time. Most difficult as I have worked accross different commodities I find professional services the most challenging to add value in my stakeholders world.
Pros: People, culture, added benefits
Cons: No promotion, favoratism

The biggest challenge is managing resources.
