The Joy of Delivery Across Many Clients
Looking back over the last 25 years, I’ve been happiest running a portfolio of diverse projects for many different customers.
From my early days with Manchester Chamber in 2001, through Business Link in 2003, to work with Dell, HP, SCC(in 2015 and again now), and many more — the pattern is clear:
👉 I’m at my best delivering for clients, not stuck inside a single organisation.
These weren’t always polished projects. In fact, they often weren’t really “projects” at all when I started — just stuck teams, foggy goals, or big ambitions without structure.
But that’s what I love:
🔹 Getting traction
🔹 Clearing ambiguity
🔹 Delivering something real
Even now, I rarely deliver to a rigid methodology. It’s lean, pragmatic, and tailored — not overly Prince2’d. Just what’s needed to deliver outcomes with the people and time available.
And that’s why I created STPD:
Not to sell a method.
Not to offer consulting theatre.
But to bring calm, clear, experienced delivery into organisations that need it — even just a couple of days a week.
Curious if this approach could help your organisation?
