Information About Siri - Swindon trainer

Personal Description:

Results-Driven Program Management Professional with over 18 years of cross-sector experience in IT, Science, Technology, and Innovation, I have a proven track record in change management and delivering exceptional performance through pragmatism and commitment. My diverse expertise spans the public sector, IT, Retail, automotive, manufacturing, telecoms, and healthcare. I have successfully led multimillion-pound programs totalling £700 million across government portfolios, ensuring on-time delivery within specified parameters.

Training Experience:

With extensive experience leading complex, multimillion‑pound programmes from initiation through to delivery, I bring a strong, practice‑based approach to project management training. I have designed and implemented governance frameworks, led Programme Boards and cross-government working groups, and delivered high‑quality strategic reporting experience that enables me to teach learners how to establish control, manage stakeholders, and make informed decisions. My background in writing and clearing HMT Treasury Green Book 5‑Case Business Cases, alongside leading OGC Gateway assurance reviews, allows me to train students in robust business case development and assurance processes grounded in real public‑sector standards. As a leader, I am adept at translating strategic vision into clear delivery objectives and supporting teams to achieve them, a skill I now apply in motivating and guiding learners. I also bring deep experience in change management, risk management, budgeting and procurement, having overseen resource allocation, financial monitoring, risk mitigation, contract evaluation and the full end‑to‑end procurement lifecycle. My monitoring and evaluation experience developing Benefits Maps, KPIs and impact reports enables me to teach students how to measure project success effectively. With strong stakeholder management across government, industry, academia and delivery partners, I create an engaging, collaborative learning environment that prepares learners to apply project management principles confidently and effectively in real‑world settings.

Training Approach:

his depth of experience enables me to teach project management not just from theory, but from lived practice and proven methodologies.
My background in establishing and embedding strong governance frameworks allows me to guide learners in understanding decision‑making structures, assurance processes, gateway reviews and reporting mechanisms that underpin successful project delivery. I have led Programme Boards, Cross‑Government working groups, and formal Office of Government Commerce (OGC) Gateway assurance reviews, along with writing and clearing HMT Treasury Green Book 5‑Case Business Cases. I translate these complex governance processes into clear, accessible learning for students, helping them understand how strategic controls support project outcomes.
Leadership and people management form a core part of my teaching approach. Having spent years cascading organisational vision into deliverable plans, motivating teams, and aligning diverse stakeholders, I teach project management students how to lead effectively, communicate with confidence, and build collaboration across teams. I am committed to helping learners develop both the technical and interpersonal skills that define strong project managers.
My experience in change management further strengthens my tutoring approach. I have designed and implemented large‑scale change strategies, supporting organisations through transitions and ensuring benefits realisation. When teaching, I focus on helping learners understand the human side of project delivery—how to engage stakeholders, manage resistance, plan change, allocate resources and measure impact. I also draw on my expertise in procurement, risk management and financial oversight to teach learners how to plan, budget, and deliver projects responsibly, transparently and efficiently.
I am passionate about embedding monitoring, evaluation and continuous improvement into project management learning. Through my experience developing Benefits Maps, KPIs, risk registers and evaluation reports, I help students master the tools required to plan projects effectively and assess success critically. Above all, I bring a structured, pragmatic, supportive approach that equips learners with the confidence and capability to apply project management principles in real‑world settings.
