Practical
Project Management Trianing
What’s the Problem?
Nothings simple
You’ve done the training — PRINCE2, APM, MSP — but when it comes to delivering real projects, it’s a different story.
You’re faced with unclear scope, changing requirements, design delays, stakeholder politics, risk everywhere — and the textbook doesn't tell you what to do next.
That’s the gap I see every day.
Many project managers struggle to turn formal training into confident, hands-on delivery. They’re not taught how to:
-
Navigate site constraints and design uncertainty
-
Get statutory permissions or manage consultants
-
Plan delivery when nothing is fixed
-
Manage risk in a proactive, practical way
-
Communicate with clarity when the pressure’s on
-
Grow in their role, get promoted, or lead with confidence
So Whats the Solution?
Gaining confidence
That’s where I come in. I help project professionals:
-
Apply project management in the real world
-
Build delivery confidence through clear, simple tools
-
Spot and manage risk early — before it derails delivery
-
Develop practical strategies to manage scope, programme, and budget
-
Progress in their careers with stronger interviews, CVs, and leadership habits
Whether you’re leading your first capital project or stepping into a senior delivery role, I’ll help you go from surviving to delivering with clarity and control.
I also offer practical support for one of the most difficult — and often overlooked — parts of delivering projects: navigating approvals and statutory consents.
Whether you're seeking governance sign-off, planning permission, or approvals from regulators like the Environment Agency, Natural England, or local planning authorities, I can help you:
-
Understand what each body is looking for (and when)
-
Plan submissions that are robust, realistic, and strategically timed
-
Manage programme risk caused by approvals and information gaps
-
Communicate with regulators and stakeholders in a way that builds trust and momentum
I’ve worked across the full range of consents and regulatory challenges — from flood risk and ecology to heritage and public access — and I’ll help you avoid the common pitfalls that stall progress and damage confidence.
Why Choose Me?
There are plenty of project management trainers — but few who’ve actually delivered the kind of high value, complex, multi-partner, constraint-heavy projects.
I bring 20+ years of hands-on experience leading capital delivery in heritage, infrastructure, and community spaces. I’ve worked through every phase — from concept and funding to detailed design and construction — often under pressure, with multiple stakeholders and no margin for error.
I don’t just teach the theory — I share what actually works when you're on the hook for delivery.
