He possess expertise in change management, project planning, outsourcing, management, project delivery and 17 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Chris is a dedicated and enthusiastic Project Manager who brought a valuable dynamic to the Windows 2000 eradication project at PwC.
It is easy to undervalue the importance and influence of good, clear and proactive communication, but Chris’ clear strength in this area was critical to the success of the project, which involved corralling and coordinating multiple application teams and business groups to prepare for their upgrade.
The very nature of the project meant that much of the scope involved many old and bespoke applications for which the knowledge and ownership was often sketchy. Chris enthusiastically, and with persuasion and encouragement, managed to coordinate the many and varied stakeholders to ensure clear and achievable planning.
Working within an outsourced environment, Chris engendered a “one team” approach, presenting a united front during business and senior management reporting. Chris applied firm but fair pressure to ensure that targets and timelines were understood and that all were bought in to the aim of trying to achieve them.
The project was noted as a resounding success and a good example of the way two organisations could work together. It delivered within budget and met the fixed deadline for end of support, despite a start hindered by commercial agreements.
It was a great pleasure to work with Chris and would readily and enthusiastically do so again in future. Chris’ easy going, positive and adaptable nature make him a good recommendation for any role." and "Chris has proved himself to be an excellent Project Manager who understands the need to deliver his projects on-time and to budget. He plan's well, has an excellent memory for project activities and people, he has a very inclusive style and communicates well The fact that many of his project sponsors specifically asked that he work on their future projects is evidence of the success he achieved and the relationships he built."
Listed skills include Change Management, Project Planning, Outsourcing, Management, and 18 others.
