Read MoreI really enjoyed this course, as a mid-level producer I have practical experience but I'm always looking to expand my toolbox with proven methods that are also communicable to others. This is a great subject because it's easy to grasp, but Liam explains very well how it's all about the execution and following through with decisions. This was very valuable and I'm sure to use this in my future work! (Disclosure: I received this course for free in exchange for giving my feedback on an earlier version)

I am Liam Wickham, founder of Game Production Academy and author of Risk Management for Video Game Professionals (CRC Press, 2026).

My roles have included Development Support Manager, Head of Operations, General Manager, Development Director, Senior Executive Producer, Chief of Staff, VP of Production and Chief Development Officer. I have worked with studios and organisations including Sony PlayStation, Sumo Digital, Wargaming and others, as well as programme and transformation work in other sectors including AstraZeneca, BT and the UK Foreign Office.
