Project Turnaround

Critical help when you need it most.

How We Help

Our project turnaround plans are designed to help overcome the fundamental problems that impede project success.

No matter how carefully a project is planned and executed, there’s always a chance for failure. Organizations are often stretched thin and have less time than ever to devote to projects. Budgets can be blown with little warning, deadlines are missed more often than not, and the frustration of all involved rises when projects go off the rails.

But that doesn’t have to be the end of the story.

When projects need support to get back on track, our team is here to help. Our team brings expertise in resource allocation, risk management strategies, and budgeting to review current plans and develop a strategy to get to a successful outcome. They're insightful issue spotters, fearless problem solvers, and effective conversation starters who empathetically steer your project forward.

Step 1

Current State and Discovery

Our teams start with a detailed discovery process, interviewing all relevant stakeholders and reviewing project documentation to understand every aspect of the project, from initial planning to wherever things stand now.

Step 2

Root Cause Analysis

Understanding the root causes of why projects get derailed is critical to formulating a plan for recovery. With discovery complete, we’ll provide a comprehensive analysis, including key learnings to help bring clarity to complex, multi-faceted issues.

Step 3

Risk Assessment

Using data derived from our discovery process and root cause analysis, we’ll develop a transparent risk assessment for the future of the project. Key areas of risk can include: technology issues, overall complexity, politics, operational inefficiencies, vendor selection and management, organizational structure, timing, and financial restraints.

Step 4

Stakeholder Engagement

Effective, consistent communication fuels any project. We help you send the right messages to the right people at the right time so that every relevant party feels valued and heard. We’ll ensure your entire team, vendors, and other partners are in alignment.

Step 5

Go-forward Strategy

With clarity of risks and engagement from all involved, we’ll help reset expectations and provide clear options for moving forward. You'll see a clear path to moving the project toward completion.
