Adaptability

Writing years-overdue RFP requirements in three weeks, mid-crisis, using Gen AI.

Problem

A division had been tasked with writing requirements for a core system replacement RFP, but after several years had failed to produce the documentation. The gap surfaced in the middle of a major production issue on one of the organization's other primary systems.

Role

Took over authorship of the requirements document under real time pressure.

Action

Leveraged deep system knowledge together with generative AI tools to produce a comprehensive requirements document in three weeks — while simultaneously managing the concurrent production issue and maintaining continuous communication with the vendor, stakeholders, and team as priorities shifted.

Outcome

Delivered the requirements the division had failed to produce for years, without dropping the ball on the concurrent production issue — demonstrating that constant adjustment, not a fixed plan, is often what keeps a project moving.
