Assessment & Diagnosis
Every recovery begins with an honest assessment. We conduct a rapid, structured review of your programme's health — examining governance, delivery capability, vendor performance, budget position, and stakeholder alignment. We identify the root causes of underperformance, not just the symptoms. This diagnostic phase gives us the clarity to build a credible recovery plan that your Board and sponsors can trust.
Rapid Stabilisation
Speed matters when a programme is in distress. We move quickly to establish immediate control — restructuring delivery teams, resetting milestones, and putting the right governance in place from day one. We have recovered programmes worth £29m+, rebuilt consultant delivery models to maintain 85% utilisation, and restored executive confidence within weeks of engagement. Stabilisation is about creating the platform from which delivery can accelerate.
Governance Rebuild
Programmes fail without robust governance. We rebuild programme governance frameworks from the ground up — establishing clear decision rights, escalation paths, and reporting cadences. We create and chair Demand Forums to prioritise and accelerate business change, embed lean practices to improve resource allocation and delivery speed, and report regularly to Boards and executive sponsors to drive transparency and strategic alignment.
Risk Mitigation & Budget Control
Failing programmes burn cash. We take full accountability for multi-million-pound delivery budgets, implementing rigorous financial controls and risk management processes. Our track record includes recovering control of budgets that had overrun significantly, maintaining consultant utilisation targets, and delivering measurable cost reductions — including cutting administrative costs by 14% and increasing deal value by 23% through operational restructuring.
The right recovery approach makes the difference between programme failure and lasting success.
We do not simply patch problems — we address root causes, rebuild delivery capability, and put programmes on a sustainable footing. Our recovery engagements are structured to deliver quick wins that restore confidence while building the governance and delivery engine for long-term success.
Whether your programme is a multi-country ERP implementation, a digital transformation spanning thousands of users, or a complex operational restructuring, we have the experience and the approach to turn it around.
If your programme needs urgent attention, let's talk.
Stakeholder & Sponsor Management
Recovering a programme means recovering trust. We work directly with CxOs, Boards, and executive sponsors to rebuild confidence in programme delivery. We translate complex technical challenges into clear commercial language, drive transparency through structured reporting, and ensure that every stakeholder — from the boardroom to the front line — is aligned on priorities, progress, and outcomes.
