Andrew Scott

Performance management is the theme running through Andrew’s work: the use of information for decision-making.  Multi-organisation and organisation level strategy development and deployment require the connections to be made with decision-making: improving operational effectiveness and efficiency, where to investment in new services, strategy review and regulatory compliance.  Andrew’s work often leads to the downstream implementation of operational and business intelligence information technology to connect the flow of work from supplier to customer, with the flow of information from the front-line to the executive management team.
