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.

Who We Help
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.
What We Offer
Two services. One principle:
We only make money when you make money. Every engagement is structured around your outcomes, not our billable hours.
Project Management
We get your slipping projects back on track. We diagnose why they're failing, redesign the delivery approach, and drive execution until they're done. Not another methodology — a delivery partner who owns the outcome.
Pricing Model
Milestone pricing — pay when projects are delivered
- Delivery blocker analysis and root cause diagnosis
- Project recovery plan — realistic milestones, not wishful thinking
- Delivery ownership — we drive execution, not just advise
- Risk management and escalation frameworks
- Weekly status reporting to leadership
- Project delivered on time and on budget
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
