Bio
Gary Inman
James is a very friendly, human individual who cares deeply about his work and about building a strong, supportive team. He brings real passion and emotion to his work and has a vision clearly in mind of the outcomes he wants to achieve. As a Project Manager I found James to be resilient, affable, responsive and skilled in the various techniques of monitoring and project management. More than just through the quality of his work, James brought to the team a sense of unity and well-being. He was always one of the first to reach out to new staff, for example, and always keen to support building a sense of family and offering his support. His impact as a social media champion was particularly notable, as was his dedication to community causes. In his community role as President of the local Rotary Club, I have seen James explore and develop his leadership skills and witnessed his willingness to reflect, learn and try new approaches when the nature of the challenge has changed. This is a subtle and demanding context within which to provide leadership and inspiration, but James' unfaltering dedication and passion have clearly been positive and built enhanced relationships and impact. For me, James was a pleasure to work with and contributed hugely to the sense of oneness and collaboration in the business. I have also been lucky enough to see James' dedication to his family and his ability to balance work and life demands: he is a model of a loving father and supportive colleague. As a supporting coach to James for a year, I always found him willing to open up to new ideas and to try different approaches to a given problem. I was also very impressed by his resilience at dealing with some significant setbacks and challenges.

Project Manager
-
Nov 2014 - Sep 2018
Working as part of a growing Project Management Office, I typically manage between 5 - 10 different projects at any one time. These range from simple SharePoint intranets and website delivery through to full scale business transformation projects centred around the Microsoft platform. Budgets range from £50k-£250k and it's not unusual for individual projects to be part of a wider multi million pound programme of work. As a client facing project manager I am in a prime position to seek out commercial opportunities as they arise and have the skills and tenacity to do this in the most pragmatic way, benefiting the client and internal management. Financial forecasting and resource planning are second nature as I am also a key member of the Client Operations team. I have played an integral role in developing an in-house tool for resource planning which feeds our financial forecasting model. I am able to provide reports of varying levels of detail depending on the client requirements and seniority of the stakeholder. I value & nurture relationships and work hard to establish trust with my clients and team alike.
