Services

What I take on.

Whole programmes or clearly bounded parts of them — with agreed outcomes and transparent effort.

The pattern

Several actors, one binding rulebook.

Almost every programme I lead has the same structure. My work sits exactly there: at the interfaces in between.

The recurring task: several independent organisations, one binding rulebook, verified interfaces in between.

Delivery

Leading programmes.

01

Programme and project management

Scope, schedule, budget and acceptance in one pair of hands. Traditional, agile or hybrid — whatever the programme needs.

  • Milestones
  • Risk
  • Escalation

02

Programme recovery

Programmes that have lost their footing: an honest assessment, a new plan, leadership able to decide again.

  • Assessment
  • Re-plan

03

PMO and reporting

Status models and board papers that leadership can actually decide on.

  • Portfolio
  • Reporting

Technical

Connecting systems.

04

Data standards and integration

Interface design along binding European norms in rail and beyond.

  • TAP TSI
  • PTCM
  • RailML
  • REST · SOAP

05

Requirements management

From a business need to a verifiable statement of work with clear acceptance criteria.

  • Specification
  • Acceptance

06

Supplier management

Coordinating several partners in prime contractor and consortium set-ups — through to handover into operations.

  • Consortium
  • Contract control

Commercial

Running projects commercially.

07

Change requests and variations

Spotting additional scope early, bounding it cleanly, pricing it and securing it contractually.

  • Variation management

08

Project economics

Planning and enforcing payment milestones, surfacing budget deviations before they get expensive.

  • Milestones
  • Cost

09

Bid calculation

Estimating effort, separating standard product from bespoke work, building prices that hold up.

  • Estimation
  • Tenders

Regulatory

Demonstrably secure.

10

Information security

Determining scope, building evidence, preparing audits — integrated with the existing quality management system.

  • ISO 27001

11

Quality management

Supporting surveillance audits and recertification, keeping processes current and auditable.

Policies and audits

Internal policies, for example on AI tools, and support for external client and supplier audits.

  • Policies
  • Client audits

Working together

Clearly billed.

  • Day rate — against recorded project days
  • Cost certainty — on request an effort estimate with a budget cap, only exceeded after written approval
  • Fixed price — possible for clearly bounded work packages
  • Getting started — a deliberately short first engagement
  • Location — remote and on site, across Germany and Europe
