ARMY: Brought the Lynx helicopter into service, including being the lead on the design and installation of the Systems Simulator that was used by both ground and air crew training.
CSE: Taught students from a a wide variety of countries (UK; Europe; North Africa; Central Africa; Middle East) on CAA licensing courses – on both rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft. Worked with the CAA in re-writing their question bank for rotary wing licence.
BAE SYSTEMS: Head-hunted from CSE to go to Saudi Arabia as a Technical Instructor. Progressed to Head of Department (circa 1200 students with 30+ instructors). Developed the proposal for the purchase and installation of a multi-media training system throughout the Academy (circa 3600 students). At Customers insistence became the PM for the project. There after moved into Project Management and was primarily used to recover projects that were in difficulties due to my ability to engage with the stakeholders within the Customer hierarchy. This led to me becoming involved in the upgrade programme for the Tornado aircraft. It was discovered that there was a disconnect in what the company thought was needed in the final training and return to service of the aircraft and what the Customer wanted / believed. Over a 6-month period I worked closely with the Customer to resolve the issue and to get the programme back on track. Programme took 6 years to complete.
IMC&T Ltd: Business consultant offering bespoke solutions to project issues. Worked with hospitals, Business Think Tanks, BAE, Universities, Churches.
Get Fran to list on flip chart their thoughts etc
Without doubt there are GOOD leaders / sponsors and BAD leaders / sponsors – there are probably many in whom we are UNDECIDED where they fit

One of the really important concepts in STAKEHOLDER management is salience – you can’t engage with everybody nor should you – so who are the ‘important ones – the most salient ones as far as the project is concerned and why they might be important is critical if we are to identify appropriate and realistic engagement strategies.
The Salience Model analyses stakeholders based on their:
power (ability to impose their will),
urgency (need for immediate attention),
legitimacy (their involvement is appropriate).

Bourne out of that issue of Where Do I Start
We say SE is important but it’s not always given a high priority because of that perceived complexity and confusion about how do I do it
I want to show you a model that can simplify the challenge by
Bringing ORDER AND CLARITY to the process
