Adrian Pagdin

For 22 years, Adrian has diligently and enthusiastically applied project management to many varied and challenging initiatives: From developing change management capability in retail and corporate banking to developing and launching a high-profile brand for one of the world’s largest FMCG brands and rom creating the first 24x7x365 multi-lingual, first line support call centre for a telecom’s giant, to building and launching Holiday Inn branded hotels.

Adrian has worked extensively in global financial services, as a consultant and a trainer, to understand and develop the capability and confidence to realise competitive advantage, minimise risk and normalise regulation.

He has written two books, several detailed case studies and simulations on project management and is a vocal proponent of stakeholder management and leadership as the key component of delivering change.

Adrian is a certified Project Management Professional and has taught and supported hundreds of students to successfully gain PMI (project management institute) professional qualifications.

Project management exists as a response to risk; the greater the risk the greater the controls (project management): in an increasingly evolving world of technology, politics and skills it is not enough to have a project or change management department. Adrian believes that the skills to evaluate, articulate, plan and deliver business benefits must be a core part of every organisational team.
