I am a change and program manager with more than 30 years unbroken track record of successful delivery of challenging business and IT driven programs and projects in the UK and
overseas.

I have an open and inclusive leadership style, combined with excellent analytical and communication skills.

My varied line management experience and interests combined in the late 1990’s to allow me to become an authority on Corporate Performance Management solutions and implementations.

My focus is always on achieving my clients’ goals which I aim to deliver through coaching and guidance. In this way I leave a legacy of knowledge and experience to continue to improve performance long after my own contribution has ended.

Business Consultant:  Over 30 years of implementing change – in house and latterly as an external consultant. Responsible for successful delivery of complex programmes, coaching and skills transfer. I am a recognised authority in Corporate Performance Management and Organisational Alignment integrating: strategy setting, business planning, budget, risk management, performance review and Balanced Scorecards.

I have managed and successfully delivered programmes in the fields of Performance Management, E-Commerce, Logistics, Mergers, Divestments and ICT design and upgrades.
I have recently undertaken rigorous outsourcing ICT Governance and Risk Reviews in the Banking and public sectors (Private Finance Initiatives).

Programme Manager:  Successful delivery of a number of large and complex business-driven and ICT programmes in private and public sector organisations in the UK and overseas. I have applied programme management and agile methodologies on multi-site, multi-national challenging FMCG, Finance and Government environments. I have managed programme budgets in excess of €50 million and multi-discipline teams of up to 60 professional staff comprising; product management, finance, logistics, ICT and external consultancies. I was party to developing technology-based innovation including Barcodes, Electronic Data Interchange, e-Commerce and Broadband. I co-developed an approach to Corporate Performance management and coached Senior Management and Board Directors in its implementation with significant and demonstrable increase in company value and Economic Profit Realised.

Line Manager:  I have experience as a line manager in Process Management, Human Resources, Product Management, Management Services and ICT. My teams included programme managers and consultants in multiple locations and across multiple disciplines. Business improvement areas addressed spanned Quality Process improvement and certification, Logistics and Warehousing, CRM, Sales and Operations Planning, e-Commerce and sales process automation, ICT projects, divestments, ICT outsourcing and a global “value creation” programme.
All roles included significant elements of business and culture change – which led to my appointment as a Senior Programme Manager for Philips based in their Amsterdam HQ but with a global remit.

Testimonials

“This is just a short note to express my thanks for the support that you provided. John, your wise counsel, guidance and rigorous challenge when required were much appreciated…and helped to bring the programme to a successful conclusion. A number of significant improvements resulted which will provide a strong foundation for further scaling and expansion of this innovative product.

I’d also like to say what a pleasure it is to work with you John, and I know this view is shared by my colleagues, and in particular the team members, who both valued and benefitted from your subtle coaching and mentoring and undoubted knowledge, experience and expertise.” John Corney, Company Secretary and Board Member, O2 Money (a Telefonica Global Company)

Thank you, John – this is a seminal moment in the history of Natural England. This is the transparency that I needed.” Helen Phillips, CEO, Natural England

“It has been a delight to work with John Shuttleworth on a project that has greatly benefited Natural England and me personally”. Bob Middleton, Project Manager, CPMS

South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive has made a transition to an aligned, performance driven, culture. They are set fair for the migration to a true performance culture“. Dawn Madin, Executive Project Sponsor, SYPTE

“The programme has been a vitally important aid to us in concentrating our minds to the urgency and enormity of our task. From a personal point of view, it has given me more clarity of the timetable I need to follow to achieve our objectives and some of the pitfalls along the way.” William Webb, Executive Member, Lincolnshire County Council

We began our programme with a technical report showing us what we had to do but we didn’t have a framework for working out how and where we should implement it. With John we were able to develop that framework and so evaluate our options systematically and objectively. This way we could work through the difficult decisions with councillors and our Partners. We now have a formally adopted plan and everyone knows their place in helping to deliver it.” Richard Wills, Director for Development, Lincolnshire County Council

“John helped us with the change process in our ambition to become a ‘can-do’ Authority, as opposed to one that always has reasons why it can’t do something. I was extremely pleased with the positive affects on my staff and their work.” Barry Rollinson, CEO, Castle Point Borough Council

The programme has made people identify the indicators which are most valuable to the delivery of their service. It’s widened their understanding and knowledge, as well as dramatically improving their overall team work. People are really starting to take ownership of their roles and the resulting service levels.” John Hunter, Head of Strategic Policy and Performance at Castle Point Borough Council.

“By the end of the programme, the teams had reached clear vision as to what and more importantly, how, the PSA targets were to be achieved.” Judith Moore, Corporate Best Value Manager, Lancashire County Council

The message is clear; our strategy is clear; we will focus on the highest priority issues and once they have been tackled, we deploy the others in order. We have quite simply set the management team agenda for the coming year.” Mike Mastrianis, CEO Philips Audio

“We have a shared understanding to a level we have not seen before. Some very difficult issues have been dealt with on a facts based, objective way. I feel that the collective ownership and commitment to the strategy gives us the best possible chance to make it happen.” Wiebo Vaartjes, CEO Philips Speaker Systems

We have been able to use this maturity to calmly and professionally work step by step through the issues facing the business. Understanding and insight has led us to transition scenarios and a future in which we can have a lot of confidence.” Bernard Chytra, CEO Philips Consumer Media Players

Innovation

–  Co-developed a practical approach and methodology for Strategy setting, Business Planning and mapping onto Balanced Scorecards, “Value Driven Management” with Theodore Moser (Mercer Management Consulting). Our approach was incorporated and published by Professor Adrian Slywotzky as “Value Migration” [Harvard Business School Press / Times Publications].

–  As a strategy facilitator, I brought together disparate 2 teams and led them through a scenario modelling process which led to a concept of ADSL / VOIP for general use, known today as “Broadband”.

–  As a member of the 6 strong working party for the Article Numbering Association, I was instrumental in developing the concept, operating rules and technical specifications for a number of technical innovations that have come into general use: These included Electronic Data Interchange standards (now known as APIs) included a full set addressing ordering, invoicing, shipping advice, payments advice. Later, we developed the specification for the European Article Number system (EAN).

–  I was a “pathfinder” programme manager for the early adoption of ERP, Data Warehousing, Sales Force Automation.  In each case I trained and supported multiple following implementations across Europe.

–  I co-developed a programme management methodology with Pete Dunstan (of IBM) and Sylvana Bouwens (of Level 3) which was implemented throughout both Philips and IBM. This methodology was made an open standard and adopted by UK Government OGC and evolved into PRINCE2.

–  As product manager for office automation, I chaired the planning and specification workshops for a software solution – which we know today as “e-mail”.  As this evolved over 2 years, I led the specification development for exchange standards between mail hosts (this was made an open standard and is known today as Microsoft Exchange).
