When a project has failed two or three times, that’s usually when they call me.

Three ways to work together, depending on the nature of your challenge.

The problem is almost never technical

Struggling digital projects usually have everything they need on paper: budgets, resources, tools, governance committees, methodologies. And yet they don’t move forward. Or they move forward in a vacuum — teams deliver status reports, not real value.

The problem lies in the gap between what people say and what they actually experience. Status reports say “we’re on track”; the teams know it isn’t true. Committees discuss theoretical risks; the real problems remain unnamed.

What we do is close that gap. Create a space where teams move beyond jargon, posturing and abstractions to focus on what is actually at stake. When that space exists, delivery unblocks — not because a new method was added, but because the obstacles that prevented people from seeing clearly were removed.

Diagnosis

2 to 4 weeks

You sense something is blocking progress, but you can’t quite name it. Teams appear to be doing the right work; indicators aren’t alarming; and yet the project isn’t delivering what it should.

Over two to four weeks, I enter your project. I observe, I listen — not to reports, to people. I speak with teams, stakeholders, sponsors. I look for the root problem, the one hiding behind the visible symptom. The goal isn’t to validate what you already know; it’s to name what no one has named yet.

The deliverable is a clear, uncompromising diagnosis with concrete recommendations. Not a 200-page document — a situation report that tells the truth and opens a path forward.

Turnaround

3 to 6 months · embedded engagement

The diagnosis is made, the problem is named — but someone needs to take the reins. This is the most intensive engagement: I embed myself in the day-to-day of the program and take responsibility for getting delivery back on track.

In practice, this means realigning teams on what actually matters, eliminating the organizational noise that paralyzes action, restoring clarity in governance, and rebuilding trust between stakeholders. This isn’t remote advisory — it’s presence at the heart of the project, every day.

20 years in the field, programs worth 5, 10, 25 million dollars — EDF, Allianz, Airbus, ENGIE, National Bank of Canada, Desjardins. I’ve seen from the inside what makes a project fail, and what puts it back on its feet.

Delivery coaching

Ongoing support

Your project isn’t in crisis, but something isn’t right. Your project managers manage plans without truly directing delivery. Your teams execute without understanding why. Your executives make decisions based on reports that don’t reflect what’s actually happening on the ground.

Delivery coaching is ongoing support — conversations with your executives and project managers that transform how your teams work together. No theoretical training, no additional frameworks. Conversations that change the game.

The goal is to develop in your teams the ability to clearly see what is actually happening in a project, and to act accordingly — so that eventually, they no longer need me.

Let’s talk about your project

Every situation is unique. The first conversation is always free and without obligation.
