My Services

“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I would spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.” — Albert Einstein


We will probably need more than an hour, and a lot of coffee, to solve delivery challenges. But Einstein makes a good point, and this is the way to start a change or improvement journey.
Over the past few weeks I have written about the challenges that keep PS leaders up at night: gaps between what was sold and what can be delivered, value realisation, resource management, knowledge, budgeting, and more. These are the problems I have spent the last 20 years working on, and they are the reason I founded Enwise Advisory.


I work with B2B SaaS and Fintech scale-ups in two ways:
As an Advisor – targeted engagements for specific challenges. For example: Designing a delivery playbook. Aligning presales and fixing the sales-to-delivery handover. Reviewing and improving data capture for better decision-making. Turning recommendations into practical next steps, without long-term commitments.
As a Fractional PS Director – embedded senior leadership for companies scaling their professional services function, without the overhead of a full-time executive hire. In practice, that means owning implementation methodology, PS org design, team building, and aligning delivery with commercial outcomes.

  • Resource Management

    TL;DR – Resource management in scale-ups is hard, and there’s no magic wand. But piles of good accumulated data, and some standardised solutions and processes can get us most of the way there.

    What if we stopped creating new project plans? Story time – years ago, when I still had hair, I walked into a project management office inside a new Intel fabrication plant that was being built.
