Project Recovery & Turnaround

When projects fall behind or lose control, CDI Experts deploys experienced recovery teams to restore governance, reset strategy, and minimise losses.

Rapid project recovery diagnostic (stabilise first)

Identify the true drivers of slippage/overrun, validate current status, and confirm what’s recoverable versus what requires re-baselining.

Recovery planning (programme + milestones + resources)

Build an executable recovery plan with prioritised constraints, milestone logic, and practical “next 2–6 weeks” actions.

Controls reset (cost, schedule, progress, change)

Re-establish reliable forecasting, registers, reporting cadence, and decision rights so recovery work stays on track

Turnaround delivery support (PMO / project controls surge)

Embed capability and cadence—short interval control, weekly commitments, and decision escalation—to execute the plan

Risk, claims, and commercial alignment (as needed)

Align recovery actions with contract/commercial realities, documenting impacts and decisions to reduce downstream dispute risk

Planning & Controls Training

Targeted training for project teams on programming best practice, reporting standards, and effective project controls.

Set governance, reporting, meeting rhythm, and decision rights. Validate schedule/cost data so you can forecast credibly

Governance Forecasting Reporting
03

Recovery plan build

Produce a practical plan: critical path, constraints, resource strategy, and milestone commitments with clear owners.

Critical Path Resourcing Ownership
04

Execute + track

Run short-interval control with measurable commitments, risk actions, and corrective interventions.

Commitments Risk Actions Interventions
05

Rebaseline + handover

Where needed, formal rebaseline and handover of templates, cadence, and controls to sustain performance.

Credible Recovery & Governance

We restore stakeholder confidence by establishing a credible recovery plan supported by clear governance, decision rights, and accountability. This ensures everyone understands the path forward, what success looks like, and who owns each decision

Focused Control, Not More Meetings

We stop “death-by-meeting” by focusing on the few constraints that truly drive slippage. Instead of overwhelming teams with reports and forums, we prioritise what actually moves the programme.

Executable Plans & Predictable Delivery

We build short-interval, executable plans that are directly tied to milestones, resources, and real-world constraints. These plans translate strategy into action at site level.
