About Me


Don�t panic, all of my photos look like I�m an extra in a horror film! I am trying to find one that doesn�t look so bad. You can always use it to frighten the kids or keep down the rat population in your area if you want?

In 2006 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. I'm recoverng now thank goodness

I run a business focussing on IT project and programme management.
I have been at this Project Management malarkey for 25 or more years and have been privileged to have worked with some prestigious customers and some really interesting projects all of which I am very grateful for as it keeps the grey cells churning over. I have had some good times travelling around Europe and working with different people and different cultures my only regret is that I never spent long enough in most places to see outside of the Hotel room, the taxi, office or airport lounge! I plan to go back to many of the cities that I worked in just so I can see them properly!

I enjoy music (playing and listening), cricket, reading and travelling. I enjoy learning new things and was delighted to pass my Open University Project Management exam recently (not having sat an exam for 20 years I�d quite forgotten that writing for 3 � hours instead of typing on a keyboard hurts like hell but it was worth it though).

Recently I have been involved in implementing project, portfolio and program (or should that be programme) management tools based on a new architecture and ethos, Resource Centric Management, Click here http://www.farnborough-projects.com/Resource Centric Project Management.pdf to read more about it.

I have also been involved in the whole area of Knowledge Management and collaborative platforms. In a way these are similar to the content knowledge base on eCademy where the user community can look up relevant information and can contribute to the knowledge of their company. It is a fascinating subject and offers amazing benefits for users. If you want to see a version of it in action click here http://vkp.leeds.ac.uk/Drive/Drive/servlet?include=y
