Directors Profile
Nick Curnick-Orrin
BA (Hons) FIITT
Nick Curnick-Orrin is the lead trainer and managing director of
Optimise Consultancy Ltd.
Originally trained as a designer Nick moved into I.T. after
graduating, working in the area of technical support. He started
delivering I.T. training in 1991 and set up Optimise Consultancy Ltd
in 1994, delivering I.T. training and consultancy to medium and
large organisations throughout the UK.
Nick has considerable expertise in a wide range of software,
specialising in Microsoft
products, and in particular Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Project.
In the last 5 years he has developed his skills in the area of
project management, delivering training and consultancy to a number
of prestigious clients such as Spirit Group and West Midlands Fire &
Rescue Service.
Nick prides himself in not only having a full understanding of the
product but of the process as well. He says…
“I feel that the key attribute for this kind of work is the ability
to communicate. It's no good knowing your stuff inside out if you
cannot explain it in accessible terms”
In the last few years Nick has followed his interest in project and
time management and developed training courses that teach the theory
and practical application of project planning away from the PC.
These courses teach delegates to apply tried and tested project
planning methodologies to whatever project or activity they are
working on, giving them skills and strategies to help ensure that
their project comes in on time and with a successful outcome.
