He helped restructure some of the service team's processes and re-engineered the backlog to provide the team with better, more actionable data to use to improve delivery. He also ran knowledge-sharing sessions with the whole team around definitions of ready and done. Simeon knows his stuff and is a valuable addition to any team needing strong delivery leadership."

"Simeon joined our Service Design team to support and educate the teams in the implementation and application of agile in the design development and delivery of new services aimed at Scottish businesses. Simeon challenged the teams and me (in a good way!) to think differently about our approach and to tackle the big challenges. He fully supported the approach from communications with management often not easy given the challenge of trying new ways of working in what is normally a very traditional environment. It worked!"
