Tools & Techniques

James holds two degrees from the prestigious Warwick Business School, which is consistently ranked among the top business schools in the UK. The degrees comprise of a significant element of operations management coupled with mathematical applications (including computer programming), providing a firm foundation for business problem solving.

Where a project is of a cross functional nature James acts as the bridge between the operations, commercial, finance, human resources and IT departments to ensure a successful result.

Having worked on a number of projects for different companies it is surprising to see how historically a less than appropriate tool or technique has been applied to a problem in order to generate revenues and/or efficiencies. Often the resulting benefits are much less than expected.

With an extensive business solutions tool kit, James can appraise the most suitable way to solve a problem from a number of perspectives. The most appropriate can then be chosen, reducing risk, implementation time and resistance. If required various elements from different management disciplines can be assembled in order to provide a structure for solving complex business problems.
