PMP certified · PMO and delivery

Projects don't fail at the end. They fail at the start.

I help organisations build the governance, skills and habits that make delivery predictable — then hand the process over so it survives without me.

What I do

Six ways to work together

From a two-week diagnostic to a full delivery capability build. Most engagements start small and expand once the first result lands.

01

PMO setup and advisory

Design and stand up a project office sized to your organisation — governance, reporting cadence, templates and decision rights. Built to be run by your team, not by a consultant.

Consulting
02

Project health assessment

A structured audit of live projects and delivery practice across eight dimensions. You get a written diagnosis, a gap profile, and a prioritised action plan in three weeks.

Diagnostic
03

Training and coaching

PMI-aligned programmes for project managers, technical leads and executives. From delivery fundamentals through to PMP exam preparation, run around live work rather than case studies.

Training
04

PM Navigator

A phase-guided delivery tool that walks project managers through every gate, with templates, checklists and your document library linked in. Licensed per organisation.

Software
05

Embedded delivery

I step in as project manager for a defined engagement — driving delivery, managing stakeholders and transferring the method to your team before I leave.

Delivery
06

Best practice rollout

Introduce PMI practice across the organisation: stage gates, change control, risk discipline and lessons learned that actually get read before the next project starts.

PM Navigator

Most project managers know what good looks like. What they lack is the prompt at the right moment. Navigator supplies it.

  • 01Structured around the five PMI process groups, with a gate checklist your team signs off before advancing.
  • 02Every phase links directly to the templates in your own SharePoint or OneDrive library — no parallel document store.
  • 03Sign in with existing Microsoft credentials. No new accounts, no separate password to forget.
  • 04Phase progress and gate status visible across the portfolio, so nobody has to ask where a project actually stands.
  • 05Guidance written for your organisation's vernacular, not generic methodology text.

PMO built from nothing

Find out where delivery actually stands

Eight dimensions, thirty-two indicators. Rate where your organisation is today and where it needs to be — the gap between those two numbers is where your delivery pain lives. Takes about twenty minutes, and the output is a gap profile you can take straight into a leadership conversation.

Brought clarity to a programme that had been drifting for two years. Within eight weeks we had governance, reporting, and a team that trusted the process again.

Navigator changed how our team approaches projects. Every manager knows what they need at each gate. The guessing stopped almost immediately.
