Strategic Project Advisor — Mike Briggs
Powering Places
Tailored support from a seasoned strategic project management advisor is an investment in the success of your place-based climate action and clean energy projects. I work with organisations at the moments that matter most — drawing on my experience to provide four bespoke services:
Strategic Advisor
A critical friend and sounding board to the project executive and sponsor. Positioning the project, landscape appraisal, managing risk, stakeholder engagement, delivering value, resolving complex issues.
Alignment
Interpreting your strategic intent to create key documents such as a vision statement, strategy, business case, briefings and decision papers.
Mentor & Coach
Acting as mentor and coach to the project manager and project team, building skills and capability that stay with your organisation long after I've moved on.
Hands-On Support
Applying expertise at critical points to create essential project controls and processes.
An experienced practitioner with a strong focus on local clean energy and place-based impact that works for communities.
My services are designed to be flexible and targeted. I will work with you to understand where you are, what you need, and how I can add the most value.
Targeted Support
Strategic Alignment
Clean energy projects must connect to broader organisational goals and community priorities. I work with project leaders to ensure your work is anchored to strategy and can demonstrate value and impact.
Project Shaping & Definition
Many projects struggle because they start without sufficient clarity. I help you define scope, objectives, and success criteria — so your team knows exactly what they're building and why.
Team Coaching & Capability Building
Targeted coaching and mentoring for project teams — building confidence, improving practice, and developing the skills that stay with your organisation long after I've moved on.
Stakeholder & Partner Engagement
Partnership between multiple actors is often foundational to project success and lasting impact. I help project leaders form and build key relationships and support the project team to map and effectively manage ongoing stakeholder engagement.
Practical Support
I'll work alongside your team to help with planning, setting up project controls, and getting things back on track when needed.
