We help leaders restore predictable performance—protecting margin, improving EBITDA, and strengthening execution without disruption. We do this by installing a practical operating system: clear KPIs, disciplined review cadence, transparent accountability, and coaching that energizes people rather than applying pressure.
Ideal when:
- Margins are eroding, overhead has drifted, or EBITDA is under pressure
- Forecasts are unreliable or surprises are frequent
- Utilization, backlog conversion, or delivery discipline is uneven
- Execution depends on heroics rather than systems
- Leaders need consistent performance rhythm, reporting, and follow-through
What we deliver:
- Organization alignment on objectives and expected outcomes
- The “vital few” KPIs tied to margin, cash, utilization, delivery, and people
- Weekly + monthly performance cadence with owners, early-detection, actions, fast course-correction, and reliable forecasting
- Margin/overhead driver diagnosis and a focused improvement plan
- Clear accountability: decision rights, escalation paths, and sustained follow-through
- A practical playbook to sustain improvements
Deep dive (typical levers):
- Commercial + delivery: contract terms, financial upside, risk management, scope control, project governance, service quality, PM accountability
- Productivity: staffing plans, utilization discipline, backlog conversion, capacity planning, strategic teaming, outsourcing
- Cash: invoicing rhythm, WIP/AR hygiene, DSO reduction, forecast-to-cash cadence
- Performance system: dashboards, management reviews, forecasting rigor, decision discipline
- Safety: risk routines, safety leadership cadence, learning loops that prevent repeats
- Client relations: maintain, improve, expand relations and resolve issues
First 30 days:
- Baseline + scoreboard: KPIs, drivers, and forecast assumptions aligned
- Cadence installed: weekly ops review + monthly business review with owners and actions
- Top leaks targeted: 3–5 high-value fixes launched (margin, utilization, delivery, cash)
- Accountability clarified: roles, ownership, and escalation paths made explicit
- Early wins targeted and tracked
