About our services
I am an experienced management consultant with over 20 years of experience in leading and delivering projects, programmes, and portfolios across the private, public, and charitable sectors. My consulting journey began with KPMG and Serco, where I gained invaluable expertise before establishing my own consulting and interim practice.
I have successfully led, managed, and consulted on a wide range of business change and technology transformation initiatives. These include implementing new ways of working, office refurbishments and staff relocations, systems implementations, digital/cloud transformations, in/outsourcing, rebranding, restructuring, and infrastructure projects.
Additionally, I have extensive experience in setting up and managing Corporate PMOs. Over the years, I’ve built a robust network of trusted associates who can provide support for assignments, addressing gaps in both capability and capacity.
My services are fully tailored to your specific requirements and budget, as I understand that a one-size-fits-all approach often doesn’t deliver the best results. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs. The services outlined here are just a snapshot of what I can provide
I will support you and your organisation throughout its transformation and change journey, helping you navigate the challenges and obstacles that arise at every stage. By providing proven frameworks, tools, and techniques, I will help you gain greater clarity and visibility into potential risks and issues, enabling you to confidently map out the path forward.
Our Services
PPM Maturity Assessment
I offer Project, Programme, Portfolio, and PMO maturity assessments using the P3M3 framework. The process begins with an evaluation of your current baseline—"where you are today"—through a review of PPM and PMO documentation and interviews with key senior stakeholders. Together, we will define "where you want to be" and create a realistic, actionable plan to help you achieve your goals.
PPM Assurance
I provide assurance for Projects, Programmes, Portfolios, and PMOs through structured assessments of key documentation and interactive interviews or workshops with senior stakeholders. This service can be delivered as a one-off for individual or multiple projects, or as an ongoing engagement to support your portfolio as it evolves, grows, and matures.
PPM & P30 Recovery
I specialize in PMO, Project, Programme, and Portfolio recovery, bringing extensive experience and insight into what successful delivery looks like. Using a proven discovery framework, we will assess the "what" and "why" to ensure stakeholder alignment and clearly define the outcomes and benefits. I will then outline the "how" and develop a tailored plan to set you on the path to achieving your desired outcomes..

Board/ Steering Co membership/critical friend
Do you need an independent perspective on your Boards or Steering Committees? I offer a ‘critical friend’ service to provide objective insights and constructive challenge. By engaging regularly, I can help enhance your governance and decision-making processes, ensuring they are robust and effective.
Business case & benefits review
I partner closely with clients to develop business cases that drive highly successful change projects and programmes, whether strategic or tactical. Through a structured approach, I will help you build comprehensive benefit profiles and maps. I also offer reviews of existing business cases as part of your gateway reviews or governance process, addressing key questions such as:
Is the project still viable?
Do the costs, benefits, and risks remain justified?
Has your strategy evolved?
Strategic alignment-Translating strategy into change portfolios
With over 20 years of experience, I can help ensure your strategy is effectively translated into actionable change portfolios. By reviewing your portfolios, I’ll identify and address gaps in alignment with corporate objectives and architecture. This process can integrate a balanced scorecard approach (or similar), ensuring your benefit models contribute directly to your corporate strategy and objectives.
