NAME: Shannon TITLE: Senior Manager Technology Integration CURRENT ROLE: The Technology Integration team manages the change management, process improvement, and training efforts for all information technology projects across Disney Consumer Products, as well as for the Information Technology organization itself. In a nutshell, we manage the people, process and the organizational side of IT. |
PROJECT EXAMPLES: Our work is diverse and crosses all areas of the business. For example, on a recent Licensing IT project, we partnered with the licensing business to develop an online product approval process to increase efficiencies and improve time to market. Working with the licensing IT team we translated these business requirements into technical specifications. We then developed and executed a communications and training strategy to build support and create an understanding of how to optimize this powerful tool. Within the IT organization some of our work involves strategic planning and organizational effectiveness initiatives. For example, we partner with the CIO and the heads of the IT organizations across DCP to create a cohesive DCP IT strategic plan. Additionally, we lead a program that focuses on the employer and employee relationship in IT. Aspects of this program include training and development efforts for our leadership and staff, fostering a culture of value and recognition, and providing meaningful communications and access to information at all levels. THOUGHTS ON TEAMWORK: I have an incredible team! Their skills sets are extremely versatile; and I feel my role is to keep them challenged and passionate about their work. I work closely with each of them to reach and exceed their goals. |
