1. In the white paper you wrote for us you focused on the very early stages of a transformation – can you explain why?

4. How far are you along with project deliverables and what have you learned?
5. How does this project aid your business strategies?
6. What is your favourite type of project – systems implementation, lean management, process improvement or something else?
7. As someone who possesses the MSc in Payroll as well as other qualifications concerning project management, for others listening to this, how have these extracurricular qualifications helped you progress your payroll career?
8. What advice would you give to someone who is keen to develop their hands-on payroll management skills into a more project or transformation focused capacity?
9. As someone who has managed large, varied teams, if someone asked you for one piece of advice to help them become a competent manager, what would it be?
10. What does Payroll mean to you and what persuaded you to follow a career in payroll?
