I designed and maintained an Excel model to forecast revenue, based on the flow of students through the organisation’s academic programmes. Revenue flows in education can be complex, running across financial years and varying according to students’ success or failure. The model I developed was used for several years and reliably forecast the company’s revenues (and associated KPIs) to within a small margin of error.

“

Relatively simple Excel models can be powerful tools to support planning and forecasting. They needn't be complex or expensive: if you don't know where to start I can help.

My client – a college in the Middle East tendering for a government contract – needed a detailed analysis of competing international educational curricula to support their bid. I’ve considerable experience in international education and was able to produce a detailed 40-page report analysis comparing the curricula by learning outcomes.

“

Access to a well-qualified external resource allowed college staff to focus on other aspects of the bid.

I’m working with an arts charity in the North West to review and improve their information management, help them meet increasingly complex – and varied – reporting requirements from their funding councils, and to better know (and grow) their audience.

Extra capacity, providing specialist support, allows the charity to focus on delivering its mission.

Good work starts with good writing

Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned but I believe that good work starts with good, well-written documents. I can help you to develop those documents and help to train your team to write them. I can:

  • make sure that your plans and strategies are well documented
  • develop a structure for your reporting
  • write content
  • write bids and proposals.

Contact me if you need support in business and content writing.

Information is beautiful (when it's properly managed)

If you're drowning in disorganised data, struggling with spreadsheets and not sure how to present it all, I can help. I love making sense of data and helping organisations working out what they need to collect, where, and how to use it to inform progress. I can also give you advice and support about technologies that can help.
