About speaker:
I've been working in projects for 22 years. I started as a project planner in construction projects, and then moved to large process-plant projects. In parallel, I was also involved in IT projects and startups.

I gradually moved from project planning into the wider project management domain by helping project managers and companies to improve their project, program, and portfolio management systems.

Nowadays, I'm spending most of my time contributing to standards (P3.express, NUPP, PRINCE2®, PRINCE2 Agile®, and PMBOK® Guide), and developing eLearning courses in our company, Management Plaza.

About speaker:
I love partnering with executives to activate and accelerate growth, ultimately yielding greater value faster.

One former client recently told me, "Steve, you did more than help us prepare our organization for growth. You helped us (the senior leadership team) realize that we too had to change to help our organization be successful. You had the courage to tell us that we were not ready, and that we had to be the role model." Another client grew their business 3x in a few short years. Still another grew their business by 25% while reducing unfavorable attrition to nearly zero.

My approach is supported by my strong organizational skills combined with a sense of urgency and a collaborative, engaging style to bring a thorough, structured approach. My workshops, coaching and speaking fuels your leadership and that of your team.

Being an Agile Executive (or How I Got My Weekends Back)
