Prove value fast on a live project (6–10 weeks).
We work inside your existing governance and controls. We remove what’s slowing the job down — then use AI where it genuinely helps: faster closure, earlier warnings, fewer late changes hitting site.
One workflow. Real users. Clear measures. No theatre.
How the pilots work
• Start with the bottleneck (today or next)
• Overlay, don’t replace (use what you already run)
• Measure it (cycle time, backlog burn-down, fewer surprises)
• Leave something behind (a working operating rhythm)
Fast-Cycle Baseline (2–3 weeks)
A quick, practical baseline of what’s stuck on this project and which pilot will move the needle fastest.
What it is
- Focused review using real logs/packs/workflows
What you get
- Top 3 friction points
- Decision backlog
- Critical interfaces/dependencies
- Controls gaps
- Recommended pilot + measures
Decision & Change Loop Reset
Cut rework by getting decisions made while they still matter.
WHAT IT DOES: Resets path for approvals.
MEASURES: Decision cycle time.
BEST FOR: Change churn.
Controls-to-Action Early Warning
Turn reporting into a weekly exception list that actually drives action.
WHAT IT DOES: Filters performance data.
MEASURES: Variance reduction.
BEST FOR: Month-end surprises.
Interface & Dependency Burn-down
Stop work falling between teams and contracts.
WHAT IT DOES: Clears queries between silos.
MEASURES: RFI closure rate.
BEST FOR: Query storms.
System Readiness & Handover Proof
Bring forward start-up by proving readiness with evidence, not hope.
WHAT IT DOES: Automates evidence packs.
MEASURES: Turnover lead time.
BEST FOR: Late punch discovery.
Workshops that remove the chronic friction (fast)
These are short, high-impact working sessions to fix the basics that make projects slow: unclear ownership, stuck decisions, interface churn, assurance traffic jams, weak closure discipline, and late readiness discovery.
Decision & Change Loop Reset
Purpose: Stop late decisions turning into late changes and rework.
When to use: Decision backlog, change churn, escalations, late design movement.
- Decision rights map
- Decision backlog
- Escalation rules
- Weekly closure rhythm
Outcome: Faster decisions, fewer late changes hitting site.
Controls-to-Action Early Warning
Purpose: Turn reporting into a weekly exception list with owners and fix-by dates.
When to use: 'Numbers nobody trusts', surprises at month-end, lots of commentary.
- Exception list template
- Ownership rules
- Escalation triggers
- Closure cadence
Outcome: Fewer surprises, faster recovery, clear accountability.
Owner–EPC Interface Backlog
Purpose: Stop work falling between teams and contracts.
- Interface ownership map
- Interface backlog
- Dependency burn-down
- Closure rules
Outcome: Fewer interface delays, faster query closure, cleaner handoffs.
Assurance That Keeps Up
Purpose: Keep standards strong while removing approval traffic jams.
- Must-review vs exception rules
- Simplified approval paths
- 'Good enough' criteria
Outcome: Faster approvals, less churn, fewer rework loops.
Constraints & Workface Reliability
Purpose: Make workfaces reliably ready so construction doesn’t stop/start/redo.
- Definition of ready
- Constraint backlog
- Burn-down rhythm
Outcome: Fewer stoppages, better productivity, more predictable progress.
System Readiness Proof
Purpose: Pull start-up forward by proving readiness with evidence, not hope.
- Acceptance criteria per system
- Evidence checklist
- Readiness owners
Outcome: Fewer late surprises, earlier start-up confidence.
Workshops are often the fastest way to stabilise a project before running a 6–10 week pilot.
Follow-on engagement options (after a pilot proves value)
Option A — Embedded Delivery Advisory
Daily Rate | Full-time or Part-time
Description: When you want this to move fast, I embed with the project leadership team and work real problems.
How it works: On site or hybrid; built into your normal rhythm; hands-on closure support.
Daily consulting rate, typically 3–5 days/week, starting 8–12 weeks.
Option B — Delivery Leadership Advisory
Retainer model for continuity
Description: Keeps it from dying during handover and supports scale across workstreams or portfolio.
Includes: Monthly steering; working sessions; define ‘what good looks like’; remove blockers.
