When a contract, facility, or site changes hands or starts slipping, we step in and keep it moving.
When it runs without us, we hand it back.
Why You Are Here.
The work has slowed down, and everybody has a different reason why.
- The program manager left right before the option year.
- Projects are sitting in the approval chain with nobody behind them.
- The builders are walking off a site your new team doesn’t know yet.
- The people who know how it really runs are about to retire.
- The procedures say one thing, and the shift does another.
- Your site overseas is somewhere nobody senior will go, and all you have is the reports.
- Rates came back after you cut the people who ran pricing and dispatch.
- A cure notice, a failed audit, or a bad rating just landed, and the clock started.
Bring someone from the outside who actually does the work and doesn’t run up hours.
We like to call that interim or fractional leadership.
You’re not the first. Here’s what it took last time.
A federal contract, three leaders in, with the rating and the option year on the line.
By the time I was sent in, three people had already tried to run this contract. HR was heavily involved, the site openings had been missed, and the rating and the option year were on the line.
Everybody had their own explanation. So I went to the ground floor and asked the people doing the work what they were going through: about 100 on my first day and 140 by the time I was done.
Their answers drove everything after it: new site practices worked through the approval chain, everyone mapped to every post on visible dashboards, about 600 paid hours a week gone with every post still covered, and supervisors trained and mentored to run it after me.
They asked me to stay. I handed it back to the site’s program manager.
