Senior leadership where it matters most
We do not try to be everything to everyone. We focus on five situations where an experienced executive makes the biggest difference, and where the cost of getting it wrong is highest.
Client Relationship Recovery
When a key client relationship is on the line
Escalations are reaching the board, the client is talking about re-tendering and both sides have stopped trusting the reports. We put an experienced executive between the parties who resets the relationship, fixes the governance and turns a defensive account into a constructive partnership again.
Sounds familiar?
- Escalations reach executive or board level on a regular basis
- The client is threatening to exit, re-tender or withhold payments
- Service credits, penalties or disputes are piling up
- Satisfaction scores are falling and nobody can explain why
- Governance meetings have turned into blame sessions
- Your account team has lost credibility with the client
Troubled Project & Programme Recovery
When a critical programme is drifting off course
Milestones slip, budgets overrun and status reports stay green while the team knows it is red. We bring in a seasoned programme leader who establishes the facts quickly, makes the hard calls and leads the recovery hands-on, until the programme can stand on its own again.
Sounds familiar?
- Milestones keep moving and the end date is no longer credible
- Costs are overrunning without a clear view of the final bill
- Reporting is "green on the outside, red on the inside"
- Scope is unclear or keeps changing
- Suppliers, business and IT are pointing at each other
- The team is exhausted and key people are leaving
Troubled Contracts & Renegotiation
When a contract no longer reflects reality
Large service, outsourcing and technology contracts rarely survive contact with reality unchanged. When margins erode, change requests turn into disputes or a termination is on the horizon, we lead the commercial recovery: we establish your position, build the negotiation strategy and sit at the table on your behalf.
Sounds familiar?
- The contract no longer matches what is actually being delivered
- Margins are eroding or costs are far above the business case
- Change requests and claims have turned into disputes
- Penalties, service credits or termination notices are in play
- A change of control, merger or divestiture affects key contracts
- An outsourcing or supplier relationship needs an orderly exit
Restructuring, M&A & Divestitures
When the organisation itself is changing shape
Restructurings, mergers, acquisitions and divestitures create leadership gaps exactly when execution matters most. We provide interim executives who take ownership of the change: from integration and separation management to running a business unit or function through the transition.
Sounds familiar?
- A deal is signed and someone needs to own integration or separation
- A carve-out depends on transitional service agreements (TSAs)
- A restructuring plan exists, but execution is stalling
- A key executive has left at a critical moment
- Synergies or cost savings are not materialising
- Day 1 readiness is at risk
Fractional Leadership for Startups & Scale-ups
When your company is growing faster than its leadership
Scale-ups often need executive experience before they can justify, or find, a full-time hire. Our fractional executives join your leadership team for one to three days a week and bring the structure, discipline and credibility needed to land larger clients, satisfy investors and scale without breaking.
Sounds familiar?
- Founders are stretched and decisions are bottlenecked
- Growth is outpacing processes, delivery and controls
- Enterprise clients demand maturity in delivery, security and contracts
- You are preparing for a funding round or due diligence
- Your first large contracts carry risks you have not faced before
- You need senior leadership, but not (yet) full-time
