Through this partnership, we’ll be working more closely together to:
• Collaborate on consulting projects
• Support student development

This marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration that we’re looking forward to developing further in the coming months.

We’re excited about what this means for both our team and the students at Lancaster University.

We’re excited to introduce Gabriel, who has joined us as an intern from 180 Degrees Consulting Lancaster at Lancaster University .

180 Degrees Consulting is a student-led consultancy where students work on real-world projects alongside their studies, gaining hands-on experience in consulting and business problem-solving.

Since joining us, Gabriel has been getting involved across a range of projects, working closely with the team and gaining first-hand insight into how we operate.

When asked about his experience so far, Gabriel said:

“My experience at North Star has been amazing. Whether it’s the deep analytical work, or playing with the office dogs, every morning I wake up looking forward to heading to the office. The team here all come from unique backgrounds that inform their perspectives. Darren’s anecdotes, whether it’s to do with his deep operational experience or his wide-ranging personal life, have been incredibly insightful and will no-doubt stick with me for years to come. Whether it’s the teamwork, the dogs, or the great conversations, North Star Projects is a consultancy like no other. I’m incredibly appreciative for the experience here.”

“North Star Projects definitely lives up to its reputation of getting stuff done. The team takes an incredibly deep, client-centric, practical approach to taking on client projects. North Star isn’t a typical consultancy; it’s a consultancy with an unmatched combination of operational expertise, a great team, and a real passion in providing value for clients.”

We’re really looking forward to seeing what he continues to achieve during his time with us.

We’re incredibly proud to share that North Star Projects has been named finalists for the BIBAs 2026 Micro Business Award 🌟

Looking back on the journey, it’s hard not to feel emotional about how far we’ve come.

North Star originally started as just two people with a vision, a lot of determination, and a genuine belief that businesses deserved better support when it came to delivering change and improving how they operate.

Fast forward to today, and while we’re still a very small team of five, what we’re capable of delivering now is night and day compared to those early days.

We work with organisations on complex transformation, operational improvement and project delivery challenges that you’d typically expect much larger consultancies to handle - and we do it with a team of people who genuinely care about the work and the people behind it.

That’s always been the most important thing to us.
Not just delivering projects, Not just ticking boxes, But creating real impact for the businesses we support.

Our values have stayed the same throughout the journey:
People matter
Collaboration is key
Support is what counts
Equality matters

And while we’re proud of the work we do today, we’re equally proud of how we’ve grown - steadily, honestly, and surrounded by people who believed in us from day one.

To every client, partner, supporter and member of the team who’s been part of the journey so far, thank you. We genuinely wouldn’t be here without you.

And congratulations to all the other finalists too. We’re proud to be in such great company. 🦄

Strong delivery isn’t just about plans.

It’s about how well risks and dependencies are managed along the way.

In one programme, mapping interdependencies
(such as stock take schedules and people availability)
helped teams avoid clashes and delays early on.

Introducing RAID logs created a shared space
to track risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies in real time.

The result was a more aligned and confident delivery environment.

There’s a helpful example of this approach here:

Meet the wolf of our team.

Every strong delivery team needs something at its core — alignment, trust, and a shared sense of direction.

For us, that’s where the wolf comes in.

Wolves don’t work alone.
They move as a pack.
They look out for each other.
And they succeed because they stay connected.

That’s how we at Northstar approach: collaborative delivery and stakeholder management.

We co-create with our clients, not around them.
We stay aligned from the first conversation through to delivery.
And we work as one team — focused, supportive, and moving forward together.

Because the best outcomes don’t come from individuals working in isolation.
They come from collective effort, clear leadership, and shared purpose.

That’s the power of the pack.

Clarity brings confidence.

When teams understand:
• What depends on them
• What they depend on
• And where the risks sit

Work starts to feel more manageable.

A PMO helps create that shared clarity.
Through mapped dependencies and simple structures like RAID logs, everyone has a clearer picture of the path ahead.

In many ways, it reflects how a wolf pack operates.
Aligned.
Aware of each other.
Moving with purpose.

Strong delivery is rarely about individuals working in isolation.
It’s about collaboration, trust, and staying connected throughout.

That’s where real progress happens.

As programmes grow, so do the connections between them.

One timeline affects another.
One team’s availability shape another’s progress.

Without a clear view of these dependencies,
projects can feel harder than they need to be.

A PMO helps map these interdependencies clearly,
so teams can plan with confidence and avoid unnecessary delays.

Alongside this, structured RAID logs keep risks and dependencies visible across the programme.

A simple but powerful combination.

You can see how this was applied here:

Risk management works best when it’s part of everyday conversations.

Not something saved for a report.

A PMO helps make that happen.

By introducing simple tools like RAID logs,
teams can keep risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies visible and current.

It’s not about adding complexity.
It’s about creating awareness.

In many ways, it’s like how a snake sheds its skin.
Adapting.
Letting go of what no longer serves.
Making space for what’s next.

Organisations go through that same process during change.
And with the right support, it becomes something manageable… not something to fear.

That awareness is often what keeps projects on track.

In many programmes, the challenge isn’t effort.

It’s visibility.

Understanding how one activity impacts another.
Who is relying on who.
And where risks are quietly sitting.

Through a structured PMO approach,
dependencies can be mapped clearly (for example, stock take vs. people availability),
and RAID logs introduced to keep risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies visible.

It creates a calmer, more controlled environment for delivery.

This case study shows how that can work in practice:

Projects rarely slow down all at once.

It’s usually small things.
A dependency not quite aligned.
A risk that wasn’t visible early enough.

Over time, those small things start to build.

A well-supported PMO helps bring clarity to this.
Mapping dependencies across teams.
Highlighting risks early.
Keeping everything connected.

Simple structure.
But a big difference in how confidently projects move forward.
