From project consultancy and PMO development to recovery, coaching and ongoing mentoring. Songbird Projects Consulting provides senior expertise when and where you need it.
Every service is shaped around your specific situation. Julie works with businesses of all sizes, across multiple sectors, bringing 20 years of real-world digital project management experience to every engagement.
Experienced, senior-level support for digital projects that need structure, leadership and momentum. Whether you are launching a new project or need help getting an existing one back on track, Julie works directly with your team to bring clarity and direction.
This service is particularly valuable for digital businesses and agencies that need the expertise of a senior project manager without the overhead of a permanent hire. Julie becomes a genuine part of your team: embedded, practical and results-focused.
Every engagement begins with a thorough understanding of your project landscape. From there, Julie creates a structured approach tailored to your team, your timelines and your business goals.
Whether you are building a PMO from scratch or want to improve an existing one, Julie brings the experience and practical knowledge to make it work for your business. A strong PMO creates consistency, visibility and accountability across your project portfolio.
Julie works with your team to establish or refine the frameworks, processes and reporting structures that sit at the heart of an effective PMO, always shaped around your business culture and the people who will use them.
This service includes support for PMO strategy, governance frameworks, resource planning, portfolio visibility and the development of the tools and templates your team needs to succeed.
Stalled or struggling projects are more common than many businesses like to admit. Whether a project has lost momentum, gone over budget, missed milestones or simply lost the confidence of the team, Julie can help identify what has gone wrong and create a realistic path forward.
Project Recovery begins with an honest and structured review of the current situation. Julie works with stakeholders and the project team to understand the root causes of the problems and then puts together a practical recovery plan that people can get behind.
The focus is always on getting the project back on track as efficiently as possible, without blame, without drama and without overcomplicating the process.
One of the most valuable things a business can invest in is the development of the people who run its projects. Julie's coaching and mentoring service is built around helping individuals and teams grow in confidence, capability and consistency.
Whether working with a new project manager finding their feet, an experienced PM who wants to develop further, or a whole team looking to improve how they work together, Julie brings patience, honesty and genuine care to every session.
Mentoring is not about telling people what to do. It is about helping them find the answers, build the habits and develop the confidence to make great decisions independently. That is the kind of lasting change Julie is passionate about creating.
Bespoke training workshops designed around your team's actual needs, not off-the-shelf content that doesn't quite fit. Julie develops practical, engaging training programmes that give your team skills they can use immediately.
Every workshop is created specifically for the business and team attending. This means the examples, the language, the pace and the outcomes are all relevant to your context. Training packs are branded and presented professionally, giving your team a valuable reference they can return to.
Topics can range from project planning fundamentals and risk management to stakeholder communication, agile principles and PMO best practice. If your team needs it, a workshop can be built around it.
Sometimes businesses need more than a one-off intervention. Ongoing consultancy support from Songbird Projects Consulting provides a consistent, trusted partner who is available to support your team on a regular basis, without the cost of a permanent hire.
This service is ideal for businesses that want senior project oversight available when they need it, or for teams going through a period of sustained change and growth. Julie becomes a reliable point of contact, helping the team navigate challenges, maintain momentum and continue to improve over time.
Engagements can be structured around regular check-ins, monthly reviews, ad hoc availability or a blend of all three. Everything is tailored to what your business actually needs.
