For Project Leaders & Consultants
The goal is to provide concrete advice and share experiences from delivering projects.
A little background
My name is Jim Morris.
I was born in the US, served in the US Army, and moved to Denmark in 1993. I completed a degree in IT and have spent 30+ years working on and delivering projects.
I started as a developer, moved into consulting and project management, and have also worked across most Agile roles—Scrum Master, Product Owner, Release Train Engineer, Agile Coach—before returning to “pure” project management.
From late 2023 to early 2026, I led a team of PMs in a Nordic ERP consulting company while also running smaller projects.
From about Jan 2026, I went back to focusing fully on leading ERP projects. I realized I prefer helping organizations directly over leading internal transformations.
Why Better Project Leadership exists
Around the time I turned 50, I started reflecting on what I actually knew about the job I’d been doing for years.
I began writing for myself. To structure experience. To cut through the noise. To think more clearly.
I wasn’t trying to build a framework or a methodology. I was capturing what actually works:
Concepts
Decisions
Tools
Trade-offs
That body of work is something I continue to refine.
Now, moving into my 60s, I want to share it.
That’s where Better Project Leadership comes in.
How I structure the content
To be the best project leader you can, you need a holistic view: how you develop, what you do, and how you decide & behave
Approach: Adaptability is key
Better Project Leadership (BPL) is built on four pillars:
Mastery through Progression — build expertise through fundamentals and real-world application
Respecting Foundations — use proven frameworks as a base
Staying Current — adapt to modern tools and changing environments
Mindset Resilience — lead with clarity, focus, and composure
These ensure you stay adaptable for whatever the future brings—and shape everything I provide here.
Capability: Four focus areas
To keep things practical, I write across four areas:
Business Acumen — how businesses operate and create results
Leadership — achieving outcomes through others
Personal Health — sustaining energy and performance
Skills & Tools — executing effectively
Philosophy: Dealing with complexity
Stoicism, for me, it’s a way to think and operate under pressure - and a guide to living a “good” life.
The four Stoic virtues map well to my work:
Courage — act despite uncertainty
Discipline — do what needs to be done
Justice — treat people fairly
Wisdom — focus on what matters
Free and Paid
BPL will stay generous with free content.
Short, practical insights from 30+ years of real project work. That’s the foundation.
But some want more than ideas or short information bombs.
Some of you want the “How?”—to apply it, adapt it, and make it work in your own context.
That takes more time and focus.
So I’m introducing a low-cost paid option to provide:
More in-depth articles
Practical “What, Why and How?” breakdowns
Occasional small-group live sessions
A chat to dive into your specific scenarios and share with others
Paying a nominal fee is also about commitment.
Free content is easy to consume. Paid creates intent—on both sides.
You invest a little. I invest more time going deeper and focusing on what actually helps you improve.
If you see yourself in any of this, you’ll likely get value here.
This is as much a continuation of my own journey as it is a place to share it.
Take what’s useful. Apply it. Make it your own.
