Service · Program and Delivery Management
From plan to delivery.
I step into the late project or the complex programme, put plan, risks and suppliers back in order, and stay until delivery is done. From strategy decided to strategy executed.
01
When you need it
- A project is late, over budget or stalledDates keep slipping, costs keep rising and nobody has the full picture. You need someone to take it over and say where things really stand.
- Several linked projects and dependencies out of controlSignificant budgets, many functions involved, decisions in one project blocking the others. You need a programme view, not a sum of projects.
- Several suppliers and nobody directing themEach delivers their own part, but the whole doesn't hold together. You need someone to coordinate, hold everyone to their commitments and keep suppliers and internal teams aligned.
- The strategy is set, but execution won't startLeadership knows where it's heading, but activity gets lost among conflicting priorities. You need to turn strategy into objectives, a roadmap and clear ownership.
02
What I do
- Situation analysisI talk to the people, read plans and numbers, and pinpoint the bottlenecks. Within days you have an honest picture of where you stand and what's needed.
- Plan and governanceI rebuild a credible plan, with clear responsibilities, control routines and decision criteria. The team knows what to do and who decides what.
- Leading executionI coordinate teams and suppliers, keep dependencies and risks in check, and remove obstacles. Where needed, I get into the technical detail, because I've written software.
- Reporting for senior managementSimple, shared numbers: progress, costs, risks, decisions to be made. Whoever runs the company sees the real state of play without wading through a hundred slides.
- Strategy and roadmapI turn leadership's goals into a handful of measurable results and a quarterly roadmap the team can actually follow.
- HandoverI leave processes, tools and people ready to carry on without me. The aim is to stop being needed.
03
What you get
- A credible plan, with dates and responsibilities that hold up in practice.
- Risks and dependencies on the table before they turn into delays.
- Suppliers and internal teams pulling in the same direction.
- Decisions made when they're needed, with clear data to hand.
- Releases on the agreed dates, and a leadership team that knows where things stand.

How we work
I join your organisation as a Fractional or Temporary Manager for as long as it takes: a few weeks to get a project back on track, several years to lead a programme. The work follows the four phases of my method and, where needed, I bring in senior consultants from my network.

FAQ
What's the difference between project, delivery and program management?
A project manager leads a single project. A delivery manager is accountable for delivering what was promised to the client, working with teams and suppliers. A program manager coordinates several linked projects to achieve a business result. I can take on all three roles, depending on what your situation needs.
Do you step in on projects that are already under way and in trouble?
Yes, it's the most common case. I start with a quick analysis of the situation, then rebuild plan, governance and priorities without stopping the work in progress.
How long does an engagement last?
It depends on the objective. A clean-up can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months; leading a complex programme can run over several years. We agree duration and commitment at the start and review them regularly.
Do you work on site or remotely?
Both. I work between Rome, Milan and Pescara, on site when needed and remotely for the rest, across Italy and Europe.
