Practice one

Project advisory

Independent reviews at the moments that decide a project's outcome.

Stage-gate readiness reviews

The question it answers

Is the project defined well enough to pass this gate, and what must close before it does?

When to use it

Before each major decision: concept selection, entry to detailed definition, and final investment.

What you receive

  • A readiness rating by area, with the evidence behind it
  • The gaps that must close before the gate
  • A short, prioritized action list for the project team

Project assurance

The question it answers

Do the business case, targets, team, and execution plan hold together?

When to use it

Before full funding, when a sponsor, board, or lender needs an independent view of the plan.

What you receive

  • Tests of cost and schedule targets against comparable work
  • Risk findings ranked by consequence
  • Conditions and recommendations for the decision makers

Execution health checks and recovery

The question it answers

Is the project on track, and if not, what will bring it back?

When to use it

During execution: before construction starts, at a warning sign, or when a project is already off course.

What you receive

  • An independent status assessment
  • Drivers of the gap between plan and performance
  • A recovery plan with owners and dates

Practice two

Performance and benchmarking

A clear, fair picture of where performance stands, and what drives it.

Project and portfolio benchmarking

The question it answers

How do our cost, schedule, and productivity compare with similar work, and why?

When to use it

At any stage; a portfolio of completed projects gives the strongest baseline.

What you receive

  • Normalized comparisons with a stated basis
  • Performance drivers and outliers explained
  • Targets the organization can adopt

Cost and controls reviews

The question it answers

Can the estimate, schedule, and reporting be trusted?

When to use it

Before a bid or sanction, and whenever forecasts and reality start to diverge.

What you receive

  • Estimate and contingency assessment
  • Schedule logic and progress measurement review
  • Improvements to change control and reporting

Capital system improvement

The question it answers

Why does the organization keep getting the same project outcomes?

When to use it

When results repeat across projects, or before a major capital program.

What you receive

  • A diagnosis of governance, processes, and organization
  • Root causes separated from project-specific issues
  • An improvement roadmap with accountable owners

Ways to engage

Engagements scale from one review to a full program

Single decision

Focused review

One project, one decision: a readiness review, health check, estimate review, or contract review.

Typical starting point

Diagnostic pilot

Benchmarking across completed projects to set a baseline and priorities.

Ongoing

Partnership program

Reviews at each gate, periodic benchmarking, contract support, and implementation help.
