FLORIAN NITZ

The optimistic strategist


„It always seems impossible until it’s done.“
Nelson Mandela


Most people tend to view any major goal in life or projects as more of an impossibility rather than something to just embark on. I have witnessed that precisely these moments, where the goal seems unattainable, can be the turning point of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If this moment is seen and seized as an opportunity rather than an unachievable feat, the goal is much closer than one might think. With this, I aim to assist my clients in achieving both simple projects
and what may seem impossible.

The pragmatic coordinator

„The deed distinguishes the goal from the dream.“
Unknown


Every person has a vision or a goal to which he aspires, but often they are only unattained dreams - by thinking this is impossible or by framework conditions that prevent us it seems as if we will never be able to achieve them. Thus, it is my endeavor as a consultant to offer you the greatest possible benefit through my competencies - to fulfill your goals.


BACKGROUND



After graduating with a degree in business administration, I gained over five years of experience as a sales & account manager. Driven by my desire for personal development, I additionally completed training as an IT specialist for system integration. As a result, I was able to act successfully not only as a project manager, but also as a technical coordinator. In projects I am the calming pole, always result-oriented. In my projects I am perceived as a result-oriented and proactive team player. My passion is to learn new things and to incorporate these new things efficiently into everyday life. This is exactly what appeals to me about being a consultant. Through my strengths, my way of thinking and my motivation I am able to support projects significantly and lead them to success.

LIGHTHOUSE PROJECTS


Technical Migration: MS365 & Server 2022

Coordination and technical implementation for the migration of a small company (approx. 30 employees). Due to the pandemic, the need arose to migrate the complete IT infrastructure to a data center with a hybrid solution consisting of cloud and on-premise. At the same time, the migration needed to transition seamlessly without impacting day-to-day business.


Project coordination of a Service Management and Communications project with over 160,000 users

As project coordinator, my task was to take care of service management and communication between two companies working together for one customer. The project included three environments, which were built according to ITIL v3. Methods such as Agile, DevOps and Scrum were used here. The monitoring of important KPIs, the technical implementation of various hardware changes and the project controlling were my daily doing in this project.


LIGHTHOUSE PROJECTS



Strategy to contain the pandemic
Co-development of a strategy with the goal of creating a comprehensive overview of the Covid-19 pandemic, so that employees of the retailer who have fallen ill or are subject to quarantine are always recorded. At the same time, the flow of information regarding the pandemic to the entire company had to be successful at all times.


Update & validation of a critical application
As project management office, it was my responsibility to support the project manager in project planning including timelines, budget and resources, driving and coordinating project content and tasks as well as project controlling (regular status updates, cost controlling) and communication (efficient design of meeting structures).


Implementation of an RA platform
Supporting the project management in the implementation and validation of a new RA platform for managing electronic registration documentation. My responsibilities include project controlling, review of relevant documentation, and planning and execution of software validation according to GAMP5.
