Peter John Hastings

Experienced Project Manager, Business Consultant, Business Analyst; from relatively new to mature organisations; across technology and business. Always interested in opportunities to increase my knowledge.

Having worked on large client projects at GAME, the Public Sector, ASDA, M&S and other major global and UK Retailers as well as an internationally renowned Utilities Company, I am now embarking on my freelancing career.

With experience of dealing with stakeholders at CEO and MD level, I am confident and personable whether presenting to the board or engaging one-to-one. With the ability to adapt style and content of presentation depending on the audience, I can be relied upon to be the business engagement lead for any programme of work.

I have seen the business benefits that a strong multi channel strategy can deliver. I am well versed in helping business leaders to build a vision for their organisation's offering. From bricks and mortar to mobile via kiosks and web, I ensure a blended approach that is customer centric. I am always keeping up to date with the latest advances in technologies and market trends, enabling me to talk frankly and with authority to business leaders.

I am a firm believer in ensuring that a project or programme is firmly rooted in the business change, processes, benefits and people that it aims to deliver. A coupling of my business acumen and ability to identify inefficiencies and solutionising allows me to maintain that grounding. Nevertheless, with a technical slant to some of my previous roles, I am able to hold software and infrastructure teams to account, whether they be part of the client, within my own organisation or third parties.

Project and Programme Management including Business Analysis and System Design across retail and financial services industries. Excellent Stakeholder Management, Presentation and Project Communication Skills.
