Background

About Mark Browne

I stabilise challenged ERP and enterprise change programmes. When plans and reporting diverge, I deliver an evidence-based triage in 10 days, reset governance and cadence, and return delivery to a credible, agreed baseline. What I do (first 10 days): • Health check: scope integrity, critical path, dependencies, and vendor alignment. • Risk posture: quantified exposure with top hazards, triggers, owners, and actions. • Governance reset: decision rights, forums, reporting cadence, and escalation paths. • Re-baseline: realistic milestones, resourced plan, and execution rhythm. After triage (weeks 3–6, as needed): • Stand-up a war-room operating model with a single source of truth. • Schedule recovery and scope discipline to protect the critical path. • Vendor/SI re-alignment and SOW corrections to delivery reality. • Stakeholder reset workshops to remove ambiguity and unblock decisions. Where I add the most value: • Public sector and regulated environments • ERP programmes under political pressure or vendor noise • PMOs fighting “green dashboards” that don’t match reality • Transformations needing fact-based reporting and firm delivery cadence Operating principles: • Facts over narrative — transparent metrics and auditable forecasts • Decision clarity — accountable owners, time-boxed choices • Protect the work — remove blockers, reduce unplanned work, keep teams focused Engagements: • Rapid Triage (10 days) truth report, re-baseline, governance recommendations • Recovery Leadership (interim) cadence, schedule recovery, vendor management • PMO Uplift controls, reporting, risk management with teeth • Executive Briefing (45 min) — options, risks, and recommended path to stabilise Based in Cork, Ireland; available hybrid across Ireland/UK/EU.
