Introduction	My name is Jay Cousins. I am the founder of Cousins Group, a banking, management and IT solutions consultancy. With over 25 years in the financial sector, my role is best described as a leader and advisor - I understand the workings of business, banking and IT. My job is to identify and isolate problems, offering an insightful approach to an organization wanting to transition from its current state to its desired future position. My knowledge lies in technology, project management and business consolidation – I have cultivated a successful methodology and created a valuable Playbook for the Mergers & Acquisition Integration Program Office (IPO). This methodology has become a vital element for systems development and merger integration initiatives across commercial banks, insurance companies and private businesses.
