Senior advisory, programme leadership, and implementation for:
THE PATTERN
Twenty years of senior advisory. One consistent finding:
The technology worked. The governance above it didn’t.
BHP Billiton’s ERP programme. First Quantum’s business improvement. Shell’s materials management. Anglo American’s operational roadmaps. SADC’s regional digital strategy. Different industries, different continents, one consistent signal.
Data Sentinels is built to work at that layer — advising the leaders who decide which AI gets deployed, how transformation is governed, and whether any of it actually delivers.
SELECTED ENGAGEMENTS
Six themes. Three continents. One pattern that repeats.
Each engagement below was delivered above the technology layer on the decisions, the governance, the change that makes tools pay back.Not the methodology. The result.
