1. Here are some of the Engagement Successes Paul was involved in while at PM Sight:
Objectives:
 In 2003, the Nedbank
Group’s profits slumped and
a turnaroundstrategywas
initiated. As part of a three-
year recoveryplan, the
financial institution’s
Strategic Recoveryand
TurnaroundOffice (SRTO)
adoptedProSight, a portfolio
management solution.
 The aim was to better
integrate, prioritise andalign
the financial institution’s
strategies, associated
projects and management
actions.
 “We wanted a solution we
could configure totally to our
requirements;that would
enable reporting to all levels
– from business
management to divisional
reporting, board reporting
and reporting to major
shareholders -- and that
could be rapidly
implemented. ProSight,
despite the steep learning
curve it presented, offered
these benefits. We had the
solution up and running by
March 2004, within two
months of receiving the
software.”
 Across the Group’s 13
divisions, the SRTO team
identified140 essential
strategic management
actions, which varied from
recovering the performance
of products to complex
measures suchas meeting
Black Economic
Empowerment (BEE)
requirements. With the
strategies identified, the
projects neededto reach
these goals hadto be
established. Approximately
four hundredsuchprojects,
directed by350 different
project managers and
affecting the Group’s 23 000
staff were prioritisedand
confirmed.
Outcomes:
The solutionhas assistedthe groupin
