Kovacs in a few words
"Navigare necesse est" - despite the complex and challenging often uncertain environment ahead, as the lating saying goes - "To sail, is necessary"
For me, project management is to thrive delivering cutting-edge products to my clients. Just like conductors of a digital symphony, leading the creation and implementation of innovative products from ideation to go-live and beyond. I take complete ownership of stakeholder management, concept creation & design, and day-to-day development while keeping budget, timeline, and quality on track.
Consider me for the following challanges:
- Project Management
- Program Management
- Project Portfolio Management
- Change Management
- Digital Project Management
- Strategic Project Manager
I often wear different hats like a BA (Business Analyst) or a PO (Product Owner) to get the job done and not afraid to step outside the boundaries of the classic project manager role. I value transparent communication, a growth mindset, and striving for greatness.
To start: involve me at the planning phase and I help to create the business case and persuade stakeholders to seek buy-in.
To execute: being in the role of a coordinator and communicator I am a firm owner of methodologies, priorities and processes.
To finish: instill a lasting change in ways-of-working, measure and realize benefits, and enable a continous improvement with a learning organization.
