I bring extensive experience providing senior leadership and subject-matter expertise in project, programme and portfolio management (P3M) for clients operating across many industries (including engineering, food, innovation, and manufacturing) in both public and private sectors. Well-practised project and programme management methodologies enable me to support organisations to realise strategic benefits through their delivery of portfolios of projects and programmes within cost time and quality expectations. I do this by putting in place simple, pragmatic frameworks (encompassing processes, templates and software tools) alongside people skills and organisational structures etc that are appropriate to the business, its maturity, environment and other factors. Combining commercial acumen with critical thought and analytical skills, I hold an extensive track record of defining strategy and roadmaps for systemic improvement and rationalisation of resources. Underpinning all of this is my focus on promoting best practice in project governance, clarifying requirements, roles and responsibilities and managing activity in order to realise project benefits. Organisational and negotiating skills, together with an eye for detail, set me in good stead to manage ambiguity and risk, and accommodate competing priorities calmly and methodically without compromising accuracy or effectiveness. I invest significant effort in gaining stakeholder buy-in and manage expectations, prioritising an ethos of delegation and empowerment to achieve business objectives. Most importantly, I place empathy, integrity and inclusion at the forefront of all corporate, colleague and client-facing activity, in order to enhance performance and enable optimised solutions. Please connect with me if you would like to know more about how I can support your organisation. It would be great to chat.
