Can I help you?
Are you an individual who needs some advice and support on how to develop as a professional in your chosen field? This doesn't have to be in project management; I have around 20 years' experience of mentoring people in a variety of careers.
Or are you a small or medium sized business or charity needing advice and support in the areas of project governance, risk and assurance management?
You may even be a large organisation that wants to refresh/improve its project governance, risk and assurance arrangements. I can help you develop and implement a framework for all three that efficiently meets the needs of your organisation.
Are you a consultancy wanting to develop your business in project governance, risk and assurance? I can use my skills, knowledge and experience gained over 40 years in project engineering, management and assurance to help you do that. Integrated assurance is a hot topic, and many organisations are looking for consultants to help them implement it.
Another hot topic is 'the value of assurance'. I can help you ensure that you are getting the best value out of your spend on assurance.
Would you like to strengthen your Board in these areas? Is the project management experience on your Audit Committee and Board strong enough? As an experienced non-executive director, I can help you ensure that your Board takes its role in risk management seriously and gets the assurance it needs that project risks are under control and that the organisation's strategy you have set will be delivered.

About
P3 Risk & Assurance is
Roy Millard BSc(Hons) DMS FAPM MIET
Adviser, mentor and trainer in project, programme and portfolio assurance, risk & governance.
Roy is a national authority on how to achieve efficient and effective assurance arrangements within projects, programmes and portfolios. His approach is pragmatic and flexible, taking into account that although the principles of good governance, risk management and assurance remain true for all organisations, each will have its own set of challenges in implementing them.
He has a unique background of over 40 years in engineering projects in PPP, PFI, partnering, joint venture, consortia and conventional contracting environments, as an engineer, risk manager, project manager and senior internal auditor.
He is a consistently strong and independently minded leader who can confidently speak truth to power.
His influence extends far beyond that of the organisations he’s worked for. As founder and chair of the APM Assurance Specific Interest Group, he has spoken at many conferences and led on the publication of a number of well-received APM guides on assurance.
He is a fellow of the Association for Project Management (APM), and a full member of the Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET), and is an ex-Trustee & Board Member, and ex-Chair of the Audit Committee, of the APM. Until recently, he also Chaired the APM’s Nominations Panel.
