Most projects do not fail at kickoff. They struggle before kickoff ever happens. The transition from sales to delivery is often informal. A quick call, a forwarded SOW, and a few assumptions carried forward without validation. The delivery team is Read More …
Many project kickoff meetings begin with a simple objective: get everyone on the same page. In practice, that is often more difficult than it sounds. By the time a project reaches kickoff, information is scattered across multiple sources: The project Read More …
Many projects do not start with a structured intake process. They often begin with an email, a message from sales, a request from leadership, or a forwarded SOW with a brief description of what needs to be done. This leads Read More …

Over the next several weeks, I will be shifting focus to practical applications of AI across pre-sales, delivery, and PMO leadership. This series will focus on real world use, not theory, hype, or generic prompts. The goal is to explore Read More …
