“I’m delighted. Phil has made my job easier. He always delivers, bringing focus to complex situations to find a clear way forward. From senior stakeholders to my delivery teams he has helped me build a stronger IT department.
With over 20 years of experience in designing, delivering, recovering and assuring major change projects and programmes we were eager to have Phil from Sisu Solutions working with us at the National Trust. I first engaged Phil in May 2018 and have engaged him many times since to lead different aspects of my most business-critical IT services. As a highly professional and adaptable consultant, he has brought a fresh perspective, clear thinking and a new focus and energy to my department.”
Jon Townsend, CIO National Trust
“Phil is one of these exceptional leaders who really gets the balance right in supporting and challenging whilst giving space. It’s been pleasure working with him.”
“Phil is an excellent leader and was the spearhead for the digital transformation of the Environment Agency. He successfully challenged the existing ways of working and created an Agile working environment where, critically, both the teams were empowered and business benefits were delivered.”
“Phil brings to every situation his keen strategic mind, logical approach, highly attuned business awareness and excellent collaboration skills to unpick the thorniest of problems and come up with and deliver innovative and effective solutions.
As a highly experienced project and programme manager, experienced in both waterfall and agile, he is adept at bringing people together… He is a highly effective delegator, where everybody knows what is expected of them and how their contribution is key to the bigger picture. He is approachable, thoughtful and a good listener… the complete professional.”
“Phil is a breath of fresh air to this stagnated project. He is taking a thorough and professional approach to ensure that we meet procedures and deliver the project.”
“Being new to a project environment, with much to learn, I’ve really appreciated Phil’s kind words and support. I have much to learn from his eloquent and elegant communication style.”
“I found Phil to be an exceptional leader, a strategic thinker, decisive, personable and hugely efficient – I marvelled at how much he managed to get done in a day. I was particularly impressed by Phil’s ability to handle tough conversations with stakeholders.
On many occasions I witnessed him navigate through challenging discussions with calm professionalism where many others would have floundered. He’s also a fantastic network builder and always seemed to know who to bring in to the programme and at what stage. In short, he’s great to work with and an asset to any organisation.”
“Phil continues to impress us with his positive and professional approach… he has gained the trust and respect of our partners, at all levels. His perseverance in change management is a credit to him.”
“I would have no hesitation in recommending Phil to any future client who needs to undertake any IT or Digital transformation; he has the personal and professional skillsets to deliver in the modern workplace which sets him apart from many other consultants at his level.”
“Phil’s contribution was outstanding for a gateway review in the digital field, where the ‘politics’ and dynamics of the client base were complex, the subject matter technically specialised and the PPM issues demanded sound evidence-based judgment.”
“A strong performance from Phil. A great demonstration of taking a complex challenge and making the solution appear easy.”
“Phil is great to work with. He is professional, considerate and always calm no matter what the situation. He always makes time to listen to team members, colleagues, and customers and takes action to resolve issues. Phil is so organised and this showed throughout the whole project. I was really impressed with how Phil ensured every question, e-mail, and bit of feedback he received was captured and dealt with. Our project meetings were always structured and with a purpose, and Phil helped to motivate the team through busy periods. Phil was supportive and easy to talk to. The project was a success and I have no doubt that this was because of Phil’s organisation skills and his ability to encourage and support the team.”
“[Phil] it’s been an absolute pleasure working with you, the coaching support you provided me with has been wonderful. I’ve seen your awesome leadership skills in practice and I would like to thank you for taking the time to provide me with invaluable advice and guidance during our coaching sessions.”
“Phil strikes a balance between support and challenge brilliantly – and I feel so much more confident as sponsor about this project, having him around.”
“Phil has helped me build my confidence to new levels and I have learnt so much from him about how to deal effectively with stakeholders and process in a large organisation that can be challenging to someone like myself used to smaller agencies.
Most importantly we have worked together to deliver work I hope we both feel very proud of, work that is beneficial to the organisation and public but also work that has been securely documented, well communicated, tracked, planned and reported, budgeted and carried out at just the right pace and quality.”
