Would you fund it
again today?
Sponsors, vendors and delivery teams each have a stake in making a program work. We bring an outside view to whether the investment still makes sense and what needs to change when performance falls short.
Which question are you facing?
Each engagement has a defined decision, a fixed fee and a named principal.
A sound investment needs
all three to hold.
The principal who scopes the work does the work.
We examine what the investment promises and what the platform and organization can deliver. A review gives you a decision record. A recovery establishes milestones, accountable owners, acceptance criteria and measures of business value.
Evidence before a plan.
We test the business case against delivery and operating evidence. Each finding includes its supporting evidence and any limits on the conclusion.
Senior people in the room.
You work directly with the principal leading the engagement. When specialist expertise is needed, we agree with you who to bring in and what they will do.
Disclosed interests.
We disclose relevant commercial interests before work starts and on page one of the findings. A Second Opinion engagement is the only paid work we do on that program. Turnaround phases are approved one at a time.
Work your team can use.
Second Opinion gives you a recommendation and supporting evidence to use with your team or any delivery firm. Turnaround establishes recovery milestones and governance your team can maintain.
