About Jim Ewing
As a project management trainer, Jim is highly effective at translating theory into practice. He teaches PM fundamentals, Agile and hybrid delivery models, and execution discipline in a way that resonates with practitioners at all levels. Drawing on his experience as a PMP and SAFe Scrum Master, he focuses on decision-making, stakeholder alignment, and delivery outcomes rather than rigid adherence to methodology. His training style is engaging, pragmatic, and grounded in real-world examples, helping teams immediately apply what they learn.
As an executive and portfolio management coach, Jim works comfortably with senior leaders to establish clarity around priorities, investment trade-offs, and delivery risk. He helps executives move from reactive project lists to intentional portfolios aligned with strategic objectives. His coaching emphasizes governance, transparency, and accountability—enabling leaders to ask better questions, interpret portfolio data with confidence, and make informed decisions about funding, sequencing, and capacity.
Guiding Change Through Decades of Leadership
With more than three decades of experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives, Jim has operated at the intersection of strategy, technology, and operations across highly regulated, fast-moving environments. His background spans large-scale portfolio governance, PMO and Center of Excellence design, enterprise system implementations, and organizational change management. He understands not just how projects are delivered, but why they succeed or fail inside real organizations—with competing priorities, limited resources, and imperfect information.
