Serious about project management? Start here.

I'm Chris Lord. I did 23 years in the Army and left as a Brigade Sergeant Major. When I got out I'd never delivered a corporate project. Now I run project delivery across Europe for a global business, and I built the Digital Delivery Academy so that when an interviewer says "walk me through a project you've delivered", you can.

From someone who's made the move

Chris Lord, founder of the Digital Delivery Academy
"When I got out I had the leadership, and I knew how to execute a plan, but I didn't have a clue where to start with a corporate project. I see that same gap in nearly everyone coming out. That's why we built this. Come to a Lab, have a go, and see if it's for you."
Chris LordFounder, Digital Delivery Academy · 23 years British Army

"By far one of the best resettlement activities I've done, and haven't had to use any GRT leave either. It's a win all round."

Andrew Fyles, PgDip MAPMCapability Development Manager, UK Armed Forces

"Exactly the kind of practical, real-world PM experience that makes it worthwhile. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking to build solid project delivery skills."
