30-Day Delivery Recovery Plan
When this helps

A defined intervention, not an open-ended consulting engagement.

The scope is deliberately focused: understand the important evidence, identify the decisions that matter and leave the business with something it can act on.

  • A critical programme is missing milestones or repeatedly re-planning
  • Teams are busy but priorities and ownership remain unclear
  • Dependencies, suppliers or governance are blocking progress
  • Leadership reporting does not match delivery reality
  • The programme needs a reset without months of diagnostic work
What I look at

Enough depth to make the next decision properly.

The exact evidence varies by engagement, but the assessment typically covers the following areas.

  • Objectives, scope and critical path
  • Delivery plan and milestone credibility
  • Decision-making and governance
  • Team shape, ownership and capacity
  • Supplier and dependency management
  • Risk, escalation and executive reporting
What you receive

Useful outputs, not a slide deck that expires in a shared drive.

How it works

Fast enough to be useful. Structured enough to be trusted.
