Get in touchAreas of Collaboration
I specialise in project management and artificial intelligence training and in process and project consulting. Most of my experience is in education and IT.
Project Management Training
Group or individual project management training for your team and leadership, focused on maximum practical applicability.
AI in Project Management
Training on using artificial intelligence in project management and in your team's everyday work, with emphasis on safe use and real work scenarios.
Implementation Workshops
Intensive workshops where we introduce new practices, methodologies or AI tools straight into your projects, so the team leaves with a working solution.
Project Process Optimisation
Setting up the project environment, tools, roles and reporting, or the collaboration between departments and vendors, with a focus on maximum process efficiency.
Implementing AI in Processes
Analysing your processes, selecting suitable AI tools and introducing them into practice step by step, including usage rules, with emphasis on measurable benefit.
Project Consulting
Initial analysis, constructive review and supervision of your projects, including support with vendor selection and validation of their outputs and budgets.
Management Methodology
Every project and every change in a team has a few key moments that decide its success. I know how to spot them early, and that is where I focus.
Initial Analysis
The first step is an analysis of the current state of the project, the processes and the team's knowledge, identifying all influencing factors.
Plan Preparation
A prepared specification, project plan or training syllabus, including risks, schedule and agreed KPIs, sets the project's future into a clear structure.
Environment Definition
A defined project environment, tools including the use of AI, responsibility matrices and reporting ensure the smooth running of the project and of the team's daily work.
Project Implementation
Precise management of individual teams, hands-on workshops working on your own tasks and the fullest possible exchange of information shorten delivery time and raise output quality.
Consistent Communication
Consistent and transparent communication with clients, management, teams and stakeholders ensures everyone knows what phase the project is in and what is expected of them.
Output Supervision
Thorough review of partial and final outputs eliminates delays and extra costs in the final phases of the project and confirms that the team actually uses the new practices and tools.
Notable Collaborations
I have associated my name with several agencies where I managed development and project departments, set up management methodologies and led key client projects. Today I pass this experience on to students, the public and corporate teams, and help organisations put new practices into action.
