Tech Budget and Risk Review
AAP CFO Wayne Davis engaged Fountainhead for a strategic tech risk and budget assessment for the CEO and Board in the context of a corporate divestment and reboot of the organisation. The Board adopted all recommendations, but did not immediately fund them, pending recruitment of a CEO.
New CEO Lisa Davies re-engaged Fountainhead to develop a Technology Transformation Program to pitch to the Board with the objective of securing multiple-year funding. This was successful and a three year roadmap began to cloudshift, secure, and innovate in IT.
Fountainhead was subsequently contracted to provide ongoing decision support, vendor management, escalation, governance, oversight and board reporting for a program of software, infrastructure and cybersecurity transformation projects to manage risk and ensure success.
