Project Recovery

At Athena P3M, we specialise in rapid, effective project recovery for high-stakes initiatives facing delays, cost overruns, or loss of confidence.

Our expert-led approach diagnoses root causes, stabilises delivery, and implements targeted recovery strategies, restoring momentum, rebuilding trust, and maximising the probability of project success. With robust governance, clear communication, and proven intervention frameworks, we ensure critical outcomes are achieved, even in the most challenging environments

Root Cause Diagnostics

We conduct thorough assessments to identify the fundamental issues hindering project progress. Our diagnostic process examines delivery performance, team dynamics, risk factors, and governance gaps, providing a clear, evidence-based picture of what must change for recovery.

Rebuilding Stakeholder Confidence

We engage stakeholders at all levels, addressing concerns, communicating progress transparently, and rebuilding trust in the project’s trajectory. Our proactive approach fosters alignment, support, and renewed momentum among sponsors, teams, and partners.

Benefits Preservations & Re-baselining

We reassess deliverables, deadlines, and resource plans, working to preserve core business value and strategic benefits. Where needed, we help re-baseline project scope and performance objectives to ensure realistic, achievable outcomes.

Rapid Stabilisation & Interim Control

Our team swiftly implements stabilising measures, re-establishing project controls, revising schedules, and clarifying priorities. We work alongside your teams to contain risks, stop further slippage, and generate early ‘quick wins’ to restore delivery confidence.

Recovery Roadmap & Action Plans

We develop structured recovery roadmaps with clear milestones, responsible owners, and measurable targets. Our action plans detail immediate corrective actions and medium-term improvement steps, ensuring sustained project health beyond initial intervention.

Lessons Learned & Sustained Improvement

Post-recovery, we facilitate lessons learned reviews and knowledge transfer. Our commitment is to leave your organisation more resilient, with improved capability to anticipate, prevent, and address future project challenges.
