De-risk before you spend.
Assessment, business case, operating-model design, and mobilization that get the program funded and pointed in the right direction before the first dollar of build.
Program roadmap · 18 months
Five deliverables that get you funded and pointed right.
The work that happens before the build, where the cost of a wrong turn is a conversation instead of a change order.
See the mess before you fund the fix
An honest read of process, data, and org, so the business case rests on facts, not hope.
The number the CFO will defend
Costs, benefits, and payback math built to survive finance review, not just to kick off a project.
Phasing that matches your risk
Sequence, waves, and dependencies mapped so scope lands in an order the organization can absorb.
Scope, guardrails, and sign-off
Objectives, boundaries, and decision rights agreed before anyone argues about them later.
A team ready on day one
Roles, governance, and the standing rhythm in place so the build starts moving, not organizing.
From fuzzy idea to funded program.
A short, deliberate sequence that spends weeks to save the months a mis-scoped program burns.
Read the current state
Process, data, org, and readiness scored against where you need to be.
Cost, benefit, payback
The economics leadership can fund and finance can defend.
Operating model & roadmap
How the future runs, and the order you get there.
Charter & stand-up
Team, governance, and cadence live before the build kicks off.
Most programs fail in the plan, not the build.
I have written the business case a board approved and the assessment that killed a project before it wasted a year. The cheapest place to fix a program is before it starts.
Workday-deep and platform-agnostic. The build tools differ. The questions you answer before funding do not.
