Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Alfred
Hello,
For over 15 years, I've been called in when **things get stuck**: degraded run, team reorganization needed, strategic project under pressure.
My approach is based on three principles: **listening to the teams, translating strategy into a concrete plan, and quickly removing obstacles**.
- IT Production (MCO, ITIL, supervision, automation)
- Strategic Projects (scoping, delivery, governance, budgets, risks)
- Infrastructure & Architecture (urbanization, rationalization, obsolescence)
- Change Management (RACI, coaching, team support)
- Governance (steering committees, executive reporting, arbitration)
Pragmatic, hybrid, value-oriented**, my goal is to **get projects and production back on track quicklywhile creating the conditions for sustainable performance.
