Simon Higdon

Head of BBC Project Portfolio

"People Deliver Projects brought a refreshing approach to improving the sponsorship of projects and change, at a time when the BBC was keen to strengthen this vital capability. Like other organisations, we had found that sponsorship was easy to write down and learn in theory, but very hard to apply well.

Their brilliant actor team used scenarios based on real experiences that we had encountered. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Our most senior executives found the experience to be practical and innovative, and engaged People Deliver Projects to work with senior teams across the Corporation."

David Hirst

Programme Office Manager

"We recognised that embedding the process was only part of the solution; we also needed to strengthen the collaboration between teams. People Deliver Projects created an innovative way to bring these two elements together and deliver a session that was both engaging for participants and got the messages across. The actors, who are also coaches, brought the whole story to life and allowed the participants to really see the issues and then try out solutions in a completely safe environment."

Rosslyn Barr

Head of Change Portfolio Management

“The People Deliver Projects approach is fantastic! We’ve done many of these workshops now, and I never fail to get pleasure in seeing people cynically waiting for ‘death by PowerPoint’, then after 10 minutes being absorbed 110% in the action and learning more than they’ll ever get from a traditional training course. The follow up sessions means it sticks too. You can’t ask for more.”

James Powell

Strategy Development Manager

"People Deliver Projects truly understand that people are what make organisations tick. Andy and his team perfectly balance honesty, authenticity, and challenge, with creativity and good humour. The outstanding feedback is testament to the quality of their work, and makes doing my job a pleasure."

Samantha Muir

Project and Programme Office Manager

“It is always a great partnership with People Deliver Projects. I love the interaction their style brings which encourages real learning and self-reflection. It really challenges your thinking and is a refreshing way to learn and develop yourself.”

“The team took great care to make sure that the Quicksand scenario was ‘right’ and would aid our learning. The discussions around change were particularly helpful to understand where volunteers might be in coming to terms with the change that faces them. We had great feedback with people taking specific personal learning away with them to implement into their projects."

Claire Flint

Group HR Director

“Andy has a great skill at understanding complex business situations quickly and helping us to navigate to successful outcomes”

"We keep going to People Deliver Projects, because they always think of us long term, ahead of any one piece of business."

Effie Harland

Projecct Manager

"Really Excellent, and exactly what I needed- detailed enough to feel that I learnt a lot of new things but simple enough to apply everyday. I wish I could offer you some improvements but I'm struggling!"

Alan Haile

Head of Projects

“People Deliver Projects have worked closely with us now for several years, helping us to develop new leadership and team thinking, and then working with project teams and external partners to implement change.”

“Mike Cambray’s workshops have been well received, with some real fun and of course tackling the serious issues. It has challenged us all, and we are confident it has strengthened relationships, which has led to improved performance.”

Andrew Turner

Head of Project Management

"I don't think I've ever described personal development as exciting ... until now."

"The experiential element sets People Deliver Projects apart; delivered to a level of quality that continually amazes me"

Keith Martin

Director of Marketing Operations

“Fantastic to work with. The programme enabled our people to understand how to structure their projects, the roles required, and most importantly, how to improve their stakeholder management. Andy’s focus on people delivering projects, rather than processes, worked perfectly in Sky’s results-driven culture. And as a result, we have become better at delivering change and we are achieving bigger benefits”
