The Delivery Manager Daily

Commercial Acumen & Commercial delivery of a project.


Listen Later

In Episode 83, I break down the exact 90-day plan a high-performing Solutions Director should follow the moment they join a consultancy. No fluff, no corporate theatre — just a practical, commercially sharp walkthrough of how to expose the truth in a delivery organisation, restore control, protect margin, and build a predictable engine for long-term success.


I've learnt a hell of a lot in this area so I'll go through:


• How to conduct a zero-BS portfolio review

• Identifying the riskiest accounts before they explode

• Establishing minimum viable governance without bureaucracy

• Resetting client expectations and decision cadences

• Fixing the root causes of margin erosion

• Realigning people, skills, and capability safely

• Building a scalable delivery playbook

• Turning chaos into momentum — fast


If you’re a Delivery Manager, PM, Solutions Lead or aspiring executive, this episode is a masterclass in taking senior ownership and leading with clarity, discipline, and commercial integrity.
