  Founder

  Client Feedback: “Simon was a collaborative, highly professional and engaging colleague. We quickly forgot that Simon was a contractor – his daily involvement with the teams and his can-do approach made him feel like a permanent member of staff. Typically modest, Simon just got on with his many priorities and delivered a very consistent output. Some of the specific comments attributed to Simon included: - Highly efficient - Always delivered to a high standard- Dedicated and flexible, always ready to meet new demands, e.g. contributing to regulatory reporting packs - Reflective and organised handover notes - Ability to communicate effectively at all levels of the organisation We tended to notice Simon’s contributions more when other members attached to a project left or returned to other duties – this allowed us to really see the value that Simon delivered to us. We would happily recommend him to another prospective client.”Simon Vivian Consulting: Consultancy Services focused on Change and Project Management, Business Analysis, Planning, Communications, Service Delivery, Quality Assurance and Operational Management Leadership.Simon can be engaged directly, with flexible solutions for Small and Medium Enterprise Clients, Corporate Clients, Financial Services Organisations with an international customer base, and Licensed Telecommunications Operators, through his extensive experience in Business Change and Technology.Also happy to be engaged as an Associate, as there are naturally occasions when the procurement of services is only permitted through a previously approved resource provider. Should your business be required to follow such guidelines, it would be possible to facilitate such an arrangement and be on-boarded as an Associate Consultant of another change management organisation, or via a preferred recruitment agency.Bringing together People, Business and Technology Change within your organisational environment.
