The work other approaches
have struggled with.
Program recovery, procurement governance and enterprise technology delivery for media, higher education, government and research organisations. The principal leads every engagement - senior delivery on the work, not a graduate swapped in after the proposal - with specialist practitioners engaged per assignment under one contract.
What we do
Senior delivery expertise
across the full lifecycle.
Seven capabilities, ordered the way an investment moves. Engage one to fix a specific problem or several to lift delivery confidence across a portfolio. The Director leads each as principal and brings in team practitioners where the scope needs them.
02 / Sourcing
Procurement & RFP advisory
RFP design, evaluation governance, vendor selection and contract handover. Procure the right outcome, not the lowest price or the loudest pitch.
Learn more →03 / Delivery
Program delivery
Platform migrations, CMS and CRM replacements, security uplift and the integration work underneath. One accountable senior lead from mobilisation to cutover.
Learn more →04 / Governance
PMO stand-up & uplift
Establish or remediate the PMO complex delivery needs: artefact set, cadence, reporting line and the discipline that makes governance real instead of theatrical.
Learn more →05 / Assurance
Steering committee governance
Steering packs, decision papers and reporting cadence that put decisions before status and surface escalations before they become surprises.
Learn more →06 / Independence
Delivery assurance
Independent health checks, gate reviews and red-team analysis - a second pair of senior eyes on your most consequential programs, before the board asks for one.
Learn more →07 / Recovery
Project recovery
A sixty-day protocol that diagnoses what is broken - scope, schedule, governance or capability - and ends with permanent leadership back at the wheel.

Field notes from
the delivery floor.
Practical writing for the people doing the work - the patterns, artefacts and decisions that hold up under board scrutiny. Three are below; the rest are in the articles index.
Governance
How to Govern AI Output in Project Delivery.
AI can now draft most delivery artefacts faster than the team can review them. That makes governance the constraint, not generation. A practical pattern for putting AI output under the same discipline as any other delivery product - baselines, gates, evidence trails and a human consent step.
Governance
How to Build a Steering Committee Report.
A practical guide to writing steering committee reports that give decision-makers accurate information in a format they can act on. Covers structure, RAG ratings, risk registers and escalations.
Recovery
How to Reset Stakeholder Confidence in a Technology Program.
A practical guide to rebuilding executive and steering committee confidence after a technology program has lost credibility. Covers honest assessment, communication strategy and the governance changes that make a reset stick.

The program
that defined a decade.
A major Australian research university's WCMS recovery, taken on after confidence had drained away and delivered anyway. Seven more engagements are documented in the case study library.
"Politically charged. Forecast at three years. Organised resistance from architecture, security, development and the business simultaneously. Delivered in twelve months - for under half the forecast program cost, with every previously resistant group standing behind the outcome."
