Cameron Stewart
Founder, Strategic Value Streams
Cameron has spent more than twenty years across the disciplines this field draws upon: project, programme, and agile delivery, other ways of working, and operational leadership. Value stream operating models sit right at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and operations, and that is the ground he has worked on throughout his career. He has also helped shape professional standards for the wider profession. Cameron is the author of the AgileSHIFT enterprise agility method, and has spent years as a consultant and educator preparing professionals for established certifications including PMI's PMP, PRINCE2, APM, and IPMA. He holds an MBA and is completing a Doctorate of Business Administration at the University of Exeter Business School, where his research examines strategy and how organisations create and sustain strategic advantage. Strategic Value Streams grows directly from that work: the link between strategy and the delivery of value as contexts change.
