Consulting and Delivery

Risk-managed program execution by senior practitioners. Vertical depth where it matters.

Manifesto

Programs decay between the discovery deck and the production cutover. The plan gets approved, the team gets staffed, the gates get scheduled, and six months in someone realizes the assumptions changed two quarters ago. We run programs against that reality. Risk-managed delivery means the register updates weekly, the maturity baseline is reassessed quarterly, the executive dashboard reads like a living instrument rather than a deck pulled together the night before.

Agile is the floor, not the religion. We deploy Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, or whatever shape fits the cadence the work actually needs, and we change shape when the work changes. Process management is BPMN where it earns the rigor and a whiteboard sketch where it does not. Capability maturity uses CMMI v3.0 as the spine and adapts where the industry vertical demands. Risk management runs FAIR for cyber-adjacent exposures and PMI Risk Practice for delivery surface.

Five verticals where we have moved beyond surface familiarity into earned domain depth: legal, healthcare, hospitality, construction, real estate. Each has its own compliance regime, its own workflow vocabulary, its own definition of done. We engage as practitioners, not vendors. Managed service delivery follows ITIL v4 service operations; transformation engagements follow target-operating-model design with measurable capability uplift mapped from current state.

The pillars
/ 01

Agile delivery

Scrum, Kanban, SAFe at scale where it fits the cadence. Team-of-teams orchestration for multi-program portfolios. Sprint rhythm calibrated to the work, not the certification.

  • Scrum
  • Kanban
  • SAFe
  • Team-of-teams
/ 02

Process management

BPMN 2.0 modeling where it earns the rigor. Lean Six Sigma DMAIC for measurable improvement programs. Value-stream mapping with named bottleneck owners, not unowned diagrams.

  • Lean Six Sigma
  • VSM
  • RACI
/ 03

Capability maturity assessment

CMMI v3.0 as the spine. Vertical-specific overlays (HIMSS Analytics for healthcare, BIM Maturity Level 2 for construction). Quarterly reassessment with executive owners attached to each capability domain.

Engagement modes

  • 01
    Fixed-scope project

    Defined deliverable, milestone gates, change control board. Right when the outcome is known and the scope is stable.

  • 02
    Time-and-materials

    Discovery-led, iterative, scope-flexible. Right when the outcome is known but the path through is not.

  • 03
    Retainer

    Block of capacity per month across roles. Right for ongoing program support across a leadership team.

  • 04
    Managed service

    SLA-bound, multi-year, ITIL v4-modeled service operations. Right when delivery is a capability you want to procure, not build internally.

Frequently asked · consulting and delivery

Six questions buyers ask before the first call.

Each answer cites the methodology, framework, or named certification involved. Substance instead of platitudes.

What methodologies do you actually use?

Agile delivery via Scrum, Kanban, or SAFe at scale where the cadence demands it. Process management via BPMN 2.0 and Lean Six Sigma DMAIC. Capability maturity assessment per CMMI v3.0 with vertical-specific overlays (HIMSS Analytics for healthcare, BIM Maturity Level 2 for construction). Risk management via FAIR for cyber-adjacent quantification and PMI Risk Practice for delivery exposures. Managed service operations per ITIL v4. Change management per Prosci ADKAR.

Which industries do you have earned vertical expertise in?

Five verticals with named regulatory framework coverage. Legal (BSA/AML, FRCP 26-37 eDiscovery, ABA Model Rules, EDRM). Healthcare (HIPAA, HITECH, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, ONC interoperability, HITRUST CSF, HL7 FHIR R5). Hospitality (PCI-DSS v4.0, ADA Title III, FACTA, FTC Act §5). Construction (OSHA 29 CFR 1926, ANSI A10, ISO 45001, LEED, NEPA). Real estate (Fair Housing Act, RESPA, TILA, Dodd-Frank, NAR Code of Ethics, ARELLO).

What engagement models do you offer?

Four. Fixed-scope project for a defined deliverable with milestone gates and a change control board. Time-and-materials for discovery-led iterative work where the outcome is known but the path through is not. Retainer for ongoing capacity across a leadership team. Managed service for SLA-bound multi-year ITIL v4 service operations.

How do you measure capability maturity over the course of a program?

CMMI v3.0 as the spine, with vertical-specific overlays where the industry demands. The maturity baseline is established at engagement start. Quarterly reassessment against the baseline. Executive owner attached to each capability domain. The maturity record becomes one of the artifacts the steering committee reviews monthly and the audit committee receives at quarter close.

What certifications are on your bench?

PMP, PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP (Project Management Institute). CSM, PSPO (Scrum Alliance, Scrum.org). SAFe Agilist. ITIL v4 Foundation through Specialist. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Green Belt. Prosci CCMP. We staff engagements with the certification mix the program demands; no single certification is the entire qualification.

How is risk tracked during a live program?

Risk register as a living instrument, updated weekly against actual delivery telemetry. Probability x Impact scoring per PMI Risk Practice. Monthly steering committee review with executive owners attached to each open line item. Mitigation actions tracked to closure with named owners. The register is one of the artifacts the audit committee receives at period close.
