Project Management

Your projects keep slipping. That stops now.

For founders and operations leaders whose critical projects are behind schedule, over budget, or both. We diagnose why, get them back on track, and build the discipline to stop it happening again. Fixed scope. Named consultant.

What sets us apart

Project delivery guaranteed — or we don't charge
Root cause diagnosis — not just a new project plan
Delivery discipline embedded — not just consultants

Project delivery guaranteed — or we don't charge

Not all consultancies fit everyone.

We work best with leaders who know their projects are slipping — and know they need external help to get them back.

Primary Client

The Founder Watching a Critical Project Slip

Founder / CEO · Any size

You've got a project that's been "nearly done" for months. It keeps slipping — the deadline moves, the budget stretches, and every week there's a new reason. It might be a product launch, a system implementation, an expansion — something critical to the business. Meanwhile you're spending time firefighting instead of running the business.

  • "It's been 'nearly done' for 3 months. I don't know what's actually wrong."
  • "Every week there's a new excuse — people, budget, scope creep."
  • "I need someone who can just get this done."

Also a Good Fit

The Operations Leader Drowning in Overruns

COO / Operations Director

You manage a portfolio of projects and they're all struggling. You've tried project management methodologies, you've brought in PMOs, you've threatened consequences — but the projects keep slipping. You need someone who can diagnose the real root cause and fix the system, not just patch the symptoms.

  • "We've tried everything — Agile, Waterfall, Scrum — nothing works."
  • "The PMs are good people but the organisation keeps derailing them."
  • "Every project is an emergency — I can't prioritise because they're all slipping."

Strategic Accounts

The Board Watching a Critical Project Fail

Board Member / Investor

You've backed a company where a critical project is failing — a product launch, a system implementation, a key hire — and management is either too close to it or too invested in it to see the solution. You need someone who can diagnose fast, deliver fast, and tell you honestly where things stand.

  • "A critical project is at risk and management keeps saying 'it's fine'."
  • "We need an honest external assessment of where we actually are."
  • "We need someone who can actually fix it — not another report."

The Typical Consultant

Produces a project report. Hands it over. Disappears.

Most project management consultants audit your project, produce a report, and hand over recommendations. You then have to implement them — without the consultant who wrote them.

PBA Ventures

We take ownership of the project. We deliver it. Then we teach your team.

We don't disappear after the diagnostic. We take operational ownership of getting the project back on track — and we embed the discipline in your team so it doesn't happen again.

Two services. One principle:

We only make money when you make money. Every engagement is structured around your outcomes, not our billable hours.

Business Strategy & Operational Excellence

Companies at an inflection point. Growth stalled, unit economics unclear, or pivoting your business model? We bring the same structured thinking to your commercial strategy.

Pricing Model

Fixed project fee — or ongoing monthly retainer

  • Business Model Canvas (Osterwalder framework)
  • Strategic Growth Diagnostic — top 3 bottlenecks
  • Unit economics analysis
  • 60-day post-delivery accountability review

The same skills — other sectors

Every engagement starts with a conversation. We find out if we're the right fit — and we'll tell you if we're not.
