Testimonials

Alex is highly advanced in communication and leadership skills, plus her project management knowledge facilitated the new grant to be implemented in record time. Some of the sub tasks Alex performed included: Unpacking policy, Drafting and having endorsed the objectives and guidelines for the fund, Prepared briefs to delegate, Implemented a communication strategy, which included external facing website content and online presentations, Drafted all fund collateral and templates, Managed the assessments of applications.

Alex completed all tasks with minimum of fuss. I have no reservation in supporting and advocating for project management/leadership roles that Alex may pursue.

Alex’s project management skills are second to none.  Alex sets up and maintains systems to support thorough reporting, tracking and monitoring of progress and milestones.   She does this to suit the program, its ‘owner’ or key stakeholder and according to highlighting and managing objectives of the project.

She has a highly organised mind and is determined to find solutions when there are none apparent in the moment.  Alex is thorough with detail and has a strong skills in picking up errors due to her thorough approach.

She is excellent at creating key relationships with external and internal stakeholders through her strong communication skills, which also strengthens the project management skills she possesses.

Alex capably ran the Workforce Skill Set Fund (WSSF). I met Alex when seconded to her programme to provide workforce capacity during a high-volume period of applications. I immediately found her personable, engaging, empathetic and sincere. Alex has an impressive ability to be able to focus both on the human and logistical elements of project delivery with no apparent sacrifice. It can be all too common with individuals choosing between task focus and people focus. This is not the case with Alex. Alex well-manages the demands of people management within project management timeframes. This is not an easy task to do – one I still have some way to go mastering myself!

In managing the WSSF fund Alex was responsible for leading the initiation and progress of the project, while managing the output of several assessors of varying VPS grades. I have personally witnessed Alex manage individuals of differing capabilities and communication preferences professionally, responsibly and calmly. This is also a difficult challenge given the time constraints and expectations of working in a government department. DET, especially, has expectations of high performance in often unreasonable time constraints. This can mean staff work extraordinary hours to complete their workload. Alex has consistently maintained a professional and unflappable demeanour during these times.

With limited guidance and support, Alex managed to launch the WSSF fund and manage its implementation. Due to its agile operating structure DET is a hard organisation to navigate this task. Alex identified the core people responsible for task, she followed government processes and run the fund successfully.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Alex for a project leadership or project management role. She capably manages both functions, demonstrating the ability to deliver on time, always adopting a leadership role. In leaving DET for a new role, she has chosen to go above and beyond in training her successor, providing recorded training sessions for the team and providing plenty of notice to her team members so there is no drop in performance in her absence.

I had the pleasure of working with Alexandra Egan as my PMO manager during my transition into project management. She has been an incredible mentor, generously offering mentorship sessions to aid in my professional development and guide me on my project management journey. With her guidance, I have achieved the goals that we have laid out for the year. Encouraged by her support, I enrolled in a Project Management course shortly after assuming my new role to further enhance my skills.

Alexandra has been instrumental in improving various aspects of my work. She taught me how to pose the right questions to eliminate ambiguity. Additionally, she provided me with a plethora of tools and workshops to tackle the challenges I encountered in managing projects. Proficient in facilitation, she taught me effective techniques to manage and lead meetings, always exhibiting a calm and composed demeanor during presentations, which I greatly admire.

Throughout our sessions, Alexandra provided constructive feedback, which greatly contributed to my growth. Her exemplary performance as a manager has set the standard for high-functioning leadership. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with her and for the invaluable mentorship sessions that have played a pivotal role in my professional development.
