When multi-million-pound initiatives begin to drift, surface-level status reports rarely reveal the actual root causes. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience directing complex £40m–£50m portfolios across financial services and the public sector, I conduct deep-dive project and programme health checks that pierce through corporate optimism. I look beyond basic timelines to critically evaluate the true health of your delivery - assessing whether your governance, scope, and team capabilities are genuinely positioned to succeed or quietly steering toward failure.

An effective health check requires an entirely objective, independent eye that is prepared to challenge the status quo. I provide robust, Director-level delivery assurance and PMO design reviews that evaluate your initiatives against industry best practices and strict regulatory standards. By thoroughly examining risk management frameworks, resource capacity, and financial controls, I give Boards and Executive Committees an unfiltered, transparent view of their portfolio exposure, ensuring compliance and safeguarding vital corporate capital.

A diagnostic is only as valuable as the recovery path it creates. I don’t just hand over a list of observations; I deliver a pragmatic, prioritised turnaround roadmap designed to stabilise failing initiatives and protect your strategic investments. Whether it requires re-engineering your change governance, resetting benefits realisation metrics, or realigning delivery squads, I ensure your high-stakes programmes are rapidly recovered and ruthlessly focused on delivering tangible business outcomes.
