Jacobus (Koos) Coenraad Brandt

PROFILE I am a seasoned, hands-on, business executive with experience on a wide front, and a passion for success, change, technology and development of people. My career started with very technical software development, compilers, simulations, moving on to databases, business solutions and strategic consulting, in the roles of project lead, manager, consultant, project manager and programme manager. This invariably resulted in new business ventures, and a good dose of business management, regulations and contract work. This in turn also resulted in some very profitable ventures and projects for the consulting companies and service providers involved. There were also some small private companies along the way, such as Wood Expressions (custom furniture manufacturer, 50 staff factory), DigiTalk Dental and Sports (digital medical pamphlets - video and animation, sports video analysis and coaching), Branko (pc sales and assembly) and Nunti Data Systems (locomotive data logging sensors and devices, and maintenance management systems). I am a business professional capable of working at all levels of organisations and projects. I am especially strong on contract management and governance, and on making project managers aware of their responsibilities, and I typically bring strong leadership and motivation to any organisation I join. My interest is on guiding people to success, and working with project managers to ensure they deliver success in the interest of the business. I am driven by opportunities to solve problems, and to look for continuous improvement. I've learned that one can solve problems by putting the right team together, and challenge them with just sufficient direction to come up with the proper solution. This way of problem solving is as satisfying as doing it by yourself. I have also learned that I have invested hugely in developing my skills, and have gained experience of many related areas, and that the best way to tap into that investment would be to share that in an environment where I can lead and manage people to deliver on various projects and ideas simultaneously. I thrive on being part of a brain's trust, to explore and think about strategy and ideas, and solve problems at the strategic and business direction level. I need a team to work with, where key members can fill the roles which I cannot, but where we can share experience and insight to move forward. Since moving into the senior and management ranks, I kept abreast of programming developments through software development of various smaller projects in Visual Basic, VBA, AppForge, PHP, JS, Java, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, SQLite, XML, Ruby, Rails, ObjectiveC, Swift, Xojo, Xamarin and SmallTalk, exploring e-solutions in the web based application/database servers with mobile front ends, technology based platforms for communities. Also explored test driven development and using Selenium as an automation tool for testing web based applications, like IBM Maximo. At present I am working on a service offering around Enterprise Management of Project Management, based on a set of Project and Portfolio Management technologies, standards and guidelines, to assist organisations bringing project managers into a guided and controlled performance based environment with strong governance and performance reporting.

I think and talk using DFDs and ERDs, classes and objects,

with a heavy dose of UI design added in.

And Excel!

And Pictures!

And GANTTS and Graphs!

Covariance, regression and predictive modelling!

But mostly Platforms!

Products, Buyers and Processes!

Strategy Implementation!

The Bottom Line!

And the Future!

My passion at the moment is for disruptive business models such as Platform Economies

(Aggregation and Buyer Centric Designs, Alibaba and Uber) as new ventures with low barriers to

entry compared to the incumbents, but also for Corporate IT to understand how these new channels

will disrupt them, and what they should do about it.

I’ve spend the last year exploring how the trends are changing the way disruptive technologies enter

the marketspace and how people open up new opportunities, not even envisaged by the technology

developers, and especially how the iTunes, Alibaba, Airbnb, Uber, etc. players have restructured the

playing field, and how that creates a rapid result when they hit it spot-on, or fail.

I have explored the state of various industries, markets, and can see that many of these will change

dramatically over the near term, dropping middle men, automating decision making and advise,

changing requirements. I can apply this thinking in any industry, with open minded industry

incumbents. Most of these opportunities will not be done by current incumbents, because the

traditional thinking is to grow via acquisitions, more of the same or to compete via own channels,

where the market actually wants ease of interaction across the variety available.

To make platforms successful they need to bring unique value to both sides, producers and

consumers, building the communities through unique value propositions and tools, search capabilities

and data aggregation, but mostly the platform needs to understand and analyse its own data to

determine patterns, opportunities and threats.

I am looking for an innovative company to join to explore and deliver using these new ideas.
