Wrap 'er up

I write this note as I recently sent my final obligated deliverable to my team. Yes, it is my last day! After a seemingly infinite amount of review cycles through our models and presentations, our recommendations including the business case and operating model are complete. As the project charter moves forward, using the endowment from the Rockefeller foundation, these documents are bound to evolve - but I certainly feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment from my contributions and efforts. We successfully storyboarded and proved-out that there are opportunities for substantial savings by utilizing shared services. Furthermore, in hindsight, it is quite evident the nature of the project was extremely complex (gotta stroke the ego) – 22 Organizations, uncountable stakeholders (Accenture, NetHope and Member Organization leads) and very tight deadlines – but we managed to meet and exceed our expectations. There is a stylish new concept in and around the NGO space, and it is shared services. Cheers!

You stay classy, Buenos Aires
