Make Your Own Luck

Here’s how senior consultants make their own luck when faced with a project in the red:

• They start surfacing the real problem (not the sanitized version) very quickly. They interview the people who’ve been quietly holding the project together as well as the people whose early objections were smoothed over, and uncover the dysfunction everyone else has been tip‑toeing around.

• They rebuild leadership alignment before trying to adjust the plan, because a misaligned leadership team can burn more timeline than any technical issue.

• They redraw the delivery pathway so constraints stop being surprises by mapping the real workflow, not the aspirational one, and exposing pressure points early.

• They restore confidence to the project team by making the path make sense again; nothing accelerates delivery like a team that understands the plan, the risks, and their role in fixing what’s broken.
