By working with me on a fractional or advisory basis, I can often double (or more) the value you get from 6 months of budget for a full time resource!
I'm particularly good at the hard stuff, like resource management and financial management (costs and benefits). My specialism is in maximising your return on investment in enterprise project portfolio management (PPM) software and tools - for that "single version of the truth" that provides a clear line of sight and enables better business decision-making.
