Background: From Sociology with Criminology to Data Analytics 

My academic journey began at the University of York, where I studied Sociology and Criminology but my curiosity soon led me to the world of data and coding. During lockdown, I dove into online courses, eventually completing a coding bootcamp that opened the door to a career in tech. 
I started as a Technical Consultant at a fintech company, where I discovered my passion for everything data analytics. But another love persisted: teaching. After leading online bootcamps, I combined these interests and transitioned into my current role as a Data Analyst Tutor, helping others unlock their potential in this fast-growing field. 

Current Role: Empowering the Next Generation of Data Analysts 

Today, I guide students through the Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeship, teaching sessions and supporting them as they navigate the world of data. But beyond the classroom, I noticed a gap: tech remains a male-dominated space. That realisation sparked Project Womxn a platform to amplify women’s voices in project controls and data, showcasing their skills and fostering community. 

Hobbies: Teaching, Crochet, and Food Adventures

When I’m not teaching data analytics, you’ll likely find me: 
• Tutoring GCSE/A-Level students or teaching children at Sunday school at my local church. 
• Rewatching The Office or Gilmore Girls (for the 100th time!) while learning to crochet. 
• Exploring London’s food scene and sharing my finds on Instagram. 
My passion for mentorship extends further: as a STEM Ambassador, I visit schools to inspire students especially young women to pursue tech careers. I also volunteer with Next Tech Girls as a Role Model, encouraging sixth formers to embrace data and AI with confidence. 

The Heart of It All: Project Womxn

All these experiences fuelled Project:Womxn, an initiative close to my heart. It’s more than a platform—it’s a movement to empower women in tech, challenge stereotypes, and create a space where their contributions shine. Whether through teaching, advocacy, or community building, my goal is the same: to make tech more inclusive, one step at a time.

If you're passionate about creating change in data, tech, or project delivery—and want to be part of shaping what comes next—we’d love to hear from you.

Join the Project:Womxn steering group and help us build a stronger, more inclusive future.

Microsoft Copilot’s New Capabilities: Breakthrough or Hype for Project Delivery?

Microsoft is set to roll out the next wave of Copilot updates in mid to late May, and the expectations are sky-high:

• Reasoning models
• Persistent memory
• Specialist agents
• A redesigned user experience

But will these upgrades transform the way we manage projects—or are we facing another round of enterprise AI overpromising and underdelivering?

For those just starting with Project Data Analytics (PDA), this could be the breakthrough moment. But for others, entrenched in complex delivery environments, there are tough questions to answer.

What’s Coming — and Why It Matters

Reasoning Models: From Output to Outcomes

We’re not just talking about generating text anymore. These new models could enable structured, context-aware problem solving—bringing us closer to automating key elements of assurance and delivery.

I’ve tested these capabilities in ChatGPT and Gemini, and the early signs are promising.

Persistent Memory: Beyond the Shallow Chat

The days of disconnected prompts could be behind us. Persistent memory has the potential to support longer, more contextualised workflows—vital for navigating project complexity.

Notebooks for Project Intelligence

Microsoft’s move into Notebook functionality echoes Google’s NotebookLM. If done right, it could help bring together fragmented project data, turning raw information into a reasoning-ready workspace.

Analyst & Researcher Agents: Smarter Support for Messy Data

AI agents that can cut across systems to extract insight? That’s the dream. But we’ve been here before. Can they really deliver value across siloed data, or will organisational boundaries kill the potential?

But Let’s Talk About the Risks

Data Silos and Politics: Will these agents survive cross-functional barriers?

Model Context Limitations: Will reasoning models actually perform in real-world delivery scenarios—or collapse under complexity?

Security Constraints vs. Memory Use: Persistent memory sounds powerful, but how secure is it in reality?

Readiness of Organisations: Let’s be honest—can most teams even operationalise this without solid data governance?

Where I Stand Now

Personally, I still use both platforms:

• OpenAI for flexibility, custom GPTs, and experimental speed.
• Microsoft Copilot for secure integration and governance.

Yes, Microsoft is behind on raw functionality. But the audit capabilities and enterprise-grade oversight matter in high-stakes delivery environments.

One major blocker for me has been Copilot’s small context windows. If Microsoft has genuinely fixed this, it could be a game changer.

There’s a trade-off here:

• Speed and flexibility, or
• Security and integration

Strategic, Not Experimental

Copilot is no longer just a side experiment. It’s shaping up to be a strategic AI capability for project delivery, combining orchestrated agents, structured memory, and integrated tools.

But we need to stay grounded.

This won’t work for everyone—not without strong data foundations and change-ready teams.

More Than Just a Prototype—A Winning Vision

Project:Hack 24 wasn’t just another hackathon. For Team 4C, it was a chance to prove what’s possible in just 48 hours—with the right challenge, the right people, and the right energy.

Taking on a complex brief from the Ministry of Defence and Major Projects Association, the team asked a bold question:

Can AI improve bid quality before submission?

Their answer? Assura—a smart, scalable AI Red Team assistant designed to transform how bids are reviewed. That answer didn’t just impress the judges—it won them the top prize.

But what made this project really special was the people behind it—one member of the team being Laura, an apprentice and project manager in the Civil Service, whose reflections capture the spirit of what it means to win a hackathon.

Laura’s Story: Winning, Learning, and Leading

“Hi, I’m Laura, a project manager in the Civil Service and an apprentice since March 2024. Hack 24 was my second hackathon with Projecting Success, and I can safely say it was just as exciting as my first!”

Laura chose the Assurance challenge because it felt like more than just a technical exercise—it was a real-world problem with big implications across procurement, project delivery, and supplier-client collaboration.

“There were 8 of us on the team, which is a little unusual—but I honestly think that worked to our advantage. We were able to dive quickly into product decomposition, take time to understand the root causes, and assign tasks effectively.”

That strategic coordination led to something remarkable: a functioning prototype in under 48 hours that wowed judges, challenge sponsors, and peers alike.

“I’m still blown away by what we achieved in two days. To win as well? That felt like the icing on the cake. Knowing the judges saw real potential in our work—and how it could be applied in real businesses—was so rewarding.”

And the win didn’t just end on the day.

“It’s opened doors to new opportunities. I’ve spoken with senior leaders, joined working groups, and had the chance to show how apprenticeship learning can drive real impact. It’s given me so much confidence—and I can’t wait for the next hackathon in June!”

What Did Team 4C Build? Introducing Assura

Team 4C’s winning solution, Assura, is an AI-powered bid review tool that simulates the value of Red Team Reviews—providing instant, tailored feedback to strengthen bids before submission.

Core Features of Assura:

• AI-Driven Evaluation across compliance, clarity, and content
• Custom Evaluator Personas (e.g. procurement, social value)
• Power BI Dashboards for scoring and improvement tracking
• Ethical Guardrails to prevent content generation and maintain fairness
• Workflow Integration for practical use within existing bid processes

Assura isn’t just about speed. It’s about building trust and quality into the bidding process—something every supplier, project team, and evaluator can benefit from.

Behind the Build: What Made the Win Possible

Creating Assura in 48 hours wasn’t easy. Team 4C had to overcome:

• Bias Management to ensure fair and impartial feedback
• Persona Scalability across various procurement needs
• Data Ethics & Security aligned with ISO 27001 and GDPR
• Practical Integration to ensure real-world usability

The team’s ability to break down a complex brief, rapidly prototype, and deliver a solution with both immediate and long-term value is what set them apart—and ultimately secured the win.

A couple of weeks ago, we had the privilege of hosting Andy Murray, Executive Director of the Major Projects Association, for a Projecting Success Lunch & Learn.

It was one of those rare sessions that hit on multiple levels—practical, strategic, and motivational. Here’s a reflection on the key takeaways and why this session resonated so strongly, especially with our apprentices.

“If you’re not using data, you’re winging it.”

That one line from Andy summed it up perfectly.

Whether you’re managing billion-pound portfolios or developing apprenticeship projects, the message is clear: data isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s a must-have.

Andy walked us through his journey—from engineering transatlantic fibre optic cables to revamping project methodologies at Transport for London. Across every story, the same truth emerged:

Data drives impact, but only if we choose to use it properly and actively challenge assumptions.

From “We” to “I”

One of the session’s most resonant moments came when Andy challenged us to rethink how we express personal impact.

As project professionals, we’re often conditioned to speak in team-centric language:
“We delivered this,” “Our team achieved that.”
But when it comes to personal and professional development—especially in apprenticeships—it’s crucial to embrace the “I.”

Andy shared his experience during his Chartered Director assessment, where he had to speak exclusively about his individual contributions. That mindset shift may feel uncomfortable, but it’s a powerful step forward for any career.

The Power of 1

Andy introduced a compelling idea we’ve already begun embedding in learner conversations: The Power of 1.

“If you can save 1 unit of time, reduce 1 unit of waste, or generate 1 unit of extra benefit—what would that be worth?”

Multiply that by a department, organisation, or portfolio, and you have a compelling business case.

For apprentices, it’s a crystal-clear lens for evaluating project choices, measuring value, and engaging stakeholders.
Next time you're presenting outcomes, try asking: “What’s 1% improvement worth to you?”

From Perceived Value to Measurable ROI

Andy also highlighted the importance of tracking perceived impact—not just hard ROI.

Tools like Net Promoter Scores, stakeholder feedback, and pulse surveys can be just as insightful. Small, consistent actions—like weekly check-ins or refining how insights are shared—can drive long-term value more effectively than complex reports.

Moving Forward: Action, Not Admiration

So, what next?

• For apprentices: Start tracking your impact. Journal it. Measure it. Articulate it.
• For mentors and leaders: Encourage the “I” as well as the “we.” Help learners express their individual contributions.
• For all of us: Let’s lead with data—not just on projects, but in our professional growth.

We’re incredibly grateful to Andy Murray for his time, insight, and generosity.
And yes—the singing stand-in joke has officially entered team folklore.
