ABOUT MIKE
I’ve worked in project management for nearly 30 years, on projects ranging from a few hundred dollars to multimillion-dollar corporate integrations. In 2010, I worked on the integration following WPP’s acquisition of TNS, which delivered £60 million in annual savings, reported in WPP’s financial statements.
I’ve lived and worked on four continents. That experience shaped how I approach every project: practical first, theory second.
I’m a Chartered Accountant (ACA) and an ex-PMP-certified project manager. I am still a member of the Project Management Institute (PMI). I started my career as an ERP implementation consultant, matching systems to the organizations that needed them.
Today I run Haile Solutions, where I help professional services firms fix the parts of their business that cost them money: broken processes, poor ERP fit, manual work that should be automated.
This book is the product of nearly three decades of that work. It covers what I’ve learned about running projects, managing change, and building a business that runs on process instead of luck.
I live in Madrid with my wife and two sons.
