£119 Digital Download

You've just landed in a new delivery role. Now what?

The first few weeks are critical. Teams are watching. Sponsors expect impact. But the delivery system is unclear, reporting is inconsistent, and you're still figuring out where the real problems are.

Most contractors spend the first month just learning the landscape. By the time they understand what needs fixing, momentum is already lost.

A structured 90-day approach to landing well and delivering results

The Delivery Field Guide gives you a proven framework for stepping into complex, unclear, or stretched environments.

Six two-week sprints:

  • Weeks 1-2: Understand & Observe - Build a factual baseline

  • Weeks 3-4: Diagnose & Prioritise - Validate findings and agree priorities

  • Weeks 5-6: Deliver Quick Wins - Show visible progress

  • Weeks 7-8: Extend Improvements - Strengthen ownership and routines

  • Weeks 9-10: Assess & Plan - Measure progress and shape next quarter

  • Weeks 11-12: Embed & Handover - Ensure momentum continues

Three assessment lenses that structure every step:

  • Purpose - Clarity and alignment on outcomes

  • Execution - Flow, decision-making, and coordination

  • Quality - Confidence, assurance, and sustainable delivery

Complete artefact guidance - 19 tools explained (discovery plans, health scans, quick wins trackers, improvement backlogs)

Scenario-specific guidance for immature environments, over-governed enterprises, and failing programmes

Built for senior delivery professionals who need to land fast

This guide is for contractors, interim delivery leads, and transformation officers stepping into delivery environments that are unclear, immature, or under strain.

You'll get the most value if you need to diagnose problems quickly, show visible progress in weeks (not months), and want a structured but flexible approach that adapts to the environment.
