Welcome to OopsIsTheWord! I'm David Harding, a seasoned project and programme manager with over a decade of leadership experience spanning various sectors, including local government, the military, education, and policing. I'm proud to hold the prestigious Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Fellow status, a recognition of my commitment to excellence in management.

I've dedicated my career to the art and science of effective management and leadership. Whether it's orchestrating complex projects, guiding transformative change initiatives, or honing leadership skills in challenging environments, I've been there, done that, and thrived in the process.

At this stage in my career it feels like the perfect time to begin sharing the knowledge I’ve accumulated, in order to help both newcomers and seasoned professionals alike navigate the ever-evolving landscape of organisational excellence.

So here at the OopsIsTheWord website I'll be sharing in-depth insights, practical tips, and thought-provoking discussions on management, leadership, and emerging business trends. Whether you're a budding manager looking for guidance or a seasoned pro seeking fresh perspectives, you've come to the right place.

Check out the blog for informative articles, with new articles published weekly. You can follow me on LinkedIn for daily short posts, and subscribe to the OopsIsTheWord YouTube channel in anticipation for weekly videos that I’ll be uploading later in 2024.
