Who is Illuminira Consulting?
What began as a frustration about the project management profession being considered mainly an administrative function versus a strategic one, has evolved into a mission to revolutionize how value is achieved for countless organizations.
This perspective led to the development of innovative strategies aimed at reshaping the role of the project manager, emphasizing its strategic and cultural significance in driving organizational and Business success. Coined the “Art and Science of Project Management”, this mindset underlies all endeavours.
By challenging traditional approaches and advocating for a more holistic understanding of the players needed for tactical execution, our goal is to inspire and lead the fundamental shift in mindset across industries, paving the way for enhanced efficiency, collaboration, and ultimately, greater business impact.
