Is quality at the heart of your business?

Quality management systems work to join commercial vision and objectives to the design and operating processes that keep a business fit and competitive.
Willing Lightbulb is an independent consultancy, bringing to bear its experience of over 30 years gained in global organizations, the small-to-medium enterprise and business partners to the UK Public Sector, helping today's businesses deploy process improvements and sustain effective management systems.

The majority of my professional life, over 25 years in fact, has been spent in the Financial Services Industry, in an exciting mix of operations and technology roles, with UK and international banking corporations.
I have led and designed business re-organization programmes, acquisition planning, global technology change management and have both participated in, and chaired, industry standardization committees. I am, clearly, a firm advocate of quality management and have designed quality systems with approval to international standard ISO 9001.
In 2008 I joined a leading independent healthcare group, looking at many of the strategic commercial and information governance challenges surrounding the healthcare economy and, latterly, as CTO of its technology subsidiary.
Since 1985 I have worked with and for major companies in the professional IT services sector, including a 20 year period with an ISO 9001 certified IT consultancy, focusing on business process solutions and specialist services to global energy companies. I have directed business process analyses and strategy studies, delivered recommendations, designed systems and applications with complete follow-through from implementation to delivery.
My solutions meet current business requirements and anticipated change in business needs. I've presented propositions to senior client management, both face to face and via teleconference and am proficient in business French. I have managed global projects and led service delivery teams both in house and on behalf of clients, ensuring all stakeholders remain informed in all aspects of the project, complying with quality systems and procedures. I enjoy coaching, training and mentoring staff.
