Colleagues describe her as "Leanne came into Halfords from a very different industry that had a mature and long established PMO capability. She has demonstrated great adaptation to be able to establish and maintain functions within the PMO at a more fundamental level while getting the buy in needed to overcome day to day obstacles. Leanne had several key roles within the PMO notably: 1/ Resource Capacity Planning with 10 Resource Managers and around 8 Project/ Programme managers providing a consolidated understanding of who was working on what and where the opportunities and risks lay. This function was also in need of a revamp and as well as a revised toolset that Leanne took the lead on an re-established this capability and its regular meetings between all the key stakeholders as well as published the consolidated vie to the wider project delivery team. 2/ Leanne also supported and maintained a general ‘health check’ on up to four PMs and their projects providing advice support and a point of escalation into the PMO. This ensured that the PMs were able to access all the relevant support they needed as well as ensuring that their projects were also meeting the key governance criteria for successful delivery. In addition to this there was also an operational support requirement to be able to generate Purchase orders and pay invoices for both the projects and the IT department which required the developing of a good working relationship with Financial shared services in order to avoid any delays to our engagement with 3rd party vendors. In all of this I was able to trust Leanne to get the results needed and provide the type of feedback that is really helpful as a manager to be able to know what’s going on in the wider organisation. Any organisation will benefit from the PMO analyst skill-set and attitude Leanne brings to her work."

Listed skills include Highly Reliable, Highly Motivated Self Starter, Highly Responsible, Customer Service, and 29 others.
