liaison between IT and the business was unambiguous and effective throughout.

Business Case formed part of the input to the decision to use the Bupa systems as
the chosen Protection platform.

Business Case for delivery of the £20m Programme within the Insurance Division. I
then took ownership of delivery of the first project within the Programme.
