How I work

Pragmatic. Standards-informed but not dogmatic. Focused on adoption and outcomes, not documentation for its own sake. ISO 19650 is the framework, not the product — the goal is a system that people actually use, not a compliance exercise that sits in a folder.


Every engagement starts with understanding how the team actually works, what information they actually need, and what’s realistic to deliver. Tools should embed expertise, not assume it. That means clear processes, practical training, and technology that makes the right thing the easy thing.


That approach has been tested in practice: authoring ISO 19650 information requirements for Google’s real estate portfolio, scaling delivery standards across Heathrow Airport, and supporting frameworks used on one of the UK’s largest transmission programmes.
