What I can do for you
delivering
YOUR Projects
Having built a career successfully delivering business and I.T. change projects and programs, I can help you drive your organisation’s key projects. Are you the owner of a growing business who is finding that managing the change activity of your team on a day-to-day basis is diverting you from the higher-value business growth activities you would love to be focusing on? My project management methodology lends itself to supporting clients on a part-time but very regular basis, keeping your costs down whilst freeing up your time to develop your business.
Maybe your existing team requires guidance, support, drive and a structured approach to their work, using industry best practices to deliver your business and I.T. change goals?
Do you need someone to start a change initiative from scratch, putting a team of experts from your organisation together, understanding the change requirements and authoring a project proposal? Having initiated dozens of projects with a heavy I.T. bias, I can lead the process for you and manage the delivery of the project too if required.
Alternatively, perhaps you have an in-flight project or projects that are struggling in some areas and would benefit from a Quality Assurance review from an external consultant, identifying areas for long-term improvement and also proposing any quick wins?
As an experienced and flexible professional Senior Project Manager and Certified Scrum Master, I can support your organisation with any or all of these services, whether you prefer traditional ‘waterfall’ or more Agile project methods.
Supporting YOUR
Business Change
If your business based in the South West of England has the need to affect a change to your or your client’s organisation, processes and/or technology and would benefit from the additional bandwidth and expertise of a professional project manager, I can help on a cost-effective part-time basis. Supporting people through the impact of (sometimes disruptive) business change starts with an awareness of the Change Curve – I can help you manage the impact of change upon your or your customers organisation.
Adapting business processes, alongside technical change, is usually a key requirement when delivering new features and capabilities to your customers (whether internal or external) and this is often not given the focus that is required for success. As a highly capable stakeholder manager who understands the difficulties that technical and process changes can bring, I can help you get ahead of the game and ensure your end-users are engaged and supportive of your initiatives.
I can support and drive your team, providing the management reporting you need whilst minimising your project delivery overheads – call me to discuss how I can help you to deliver your or your clients’ Business Change efficiently.
Training
YOUR teams
As a certified Train the Trainer and experienced training facilitator, I can support your teams and customers through the Change Journey, designing bespoke training courses or delivering your own in-house training material.
I have helped teams understand and adapt to Scrum when implementing Agile working methods to new business areas, from developers and support teams to senior management and up to Board level. Buy-in from these stakeholders is vital for Agile working practices to be effective.
Perhaps you are looking to develop your own Project Managers and your internal project delivery capability. As well as formal training, I have extensive experience Coaching and Mentoring more junior Project Managers as part of their ongoing personal development.
I am also a qualified Social Styles trainer, if this personal development model is one your organisation is keen to adopt.
Call me to discuss your training needs and to see where I can be of help.
