Carl Karshagen

Since joining QA (under the auspices of PMPL and AIKONA), Carl has supplied project and programme management support for a wide variety of clients, including Balfour Beatty, Babcock Marine, Babcock Network Engineering, Highways England, BAE Systems, Network Rail and Transport for London. He also developed project and resource scheduling procedures, bespoke risk management interventions, planning and control interventions, and bespoke e-learning modules for key clients.

Carl started his career in project management in the late 1970s within the Atomic Energy Corporation of South Africa and used this experience as the foundation for developing his own consulting and training company, Project Planning Systems, which was seen as the leading source for project management development and consultancy in South Africa.

Later, on arriving in the UK, Carl developed a project management system supported by a project office for Datalect Services Limited. He also helped develop and deliver a helpdesk facility serving a number of key clients including BSI, Fujitsu and Safeway. DSL was subsequently bought out by a consortium of Fujitsu-Siemens.
