The first paid step

The Execution Review

An independent, executive-level read on the initiative you can't afford to be wrong about.

When a go-live, integration, or migration is carrying more risk than the status reports admit, the first thing you need is not more effort — it is the truth. The Execution Review is a fixed-fee, independent assessment: I establish the initiative's actual condition, identify the risks and decisions most likely to decide the outcome, and hand you a prioritized 30-day stabilization plan you can act on the day of the readout. It is a read and a plan, not a takeover — and the readout is yours to run with anyone you choose, including not me.

Who it's for

Health system CEOs, COOs & CIOs carrying a high-stakes go-live or migration

Boards & executive sponsors who need an independent read they can trust

Private-equity platforms & MSOs mid-acquisition or mid-integration

Rural, community & critical-access systems without a bench to spare

Leaders who just inherited a program they didn't start

When to call

An implementation or go-live is drifting — the date is slipping and nobody will say so

A critical program has no single accountable owner

A stay-or-switch decision is looming and every opinion in the room has a stake

An acquisition or affiliation is mid-integration and Day 1 confidence is soft

A vendor is running a build you need to trust — and verify

How it runs

01

Working session

Thirty minutes, confidential, no cost. We scope what's at stake, and you get the fixed fee and the plan before you commit to anything.

02

Evidence & interviews

Six to eight interviews with the sponsor and the people doing the work, plus the program plan, governance, risk and readiness evidence, and vendor commitments.

03

The read

An independent red / yellow / green assessment: critical path, dependencies, priority risks, unresolved decisions, and who actually owns what.

04

The readout

An executive session with the findings, a prioritized 30-day stabilization plan, and a straight recommendation for what comes next.

Typically 7–10 business days from kickoff to readout.

What you get

  • Independent red / yellow / green execution assessment
  • Critical-path and dependency findings
  • Priority risks and the decisions nobody has made yet
  • Ownership and decision-rights findings
  • A prioritized 30-day stabilization plan
  • Executive readout, presented in person
  • A straight recommendation: continue, targeted remediation, a recovery blueprint, or embedded leadership

Bounded by design

  • Fixed fee, quoted in the working session — no surprises, no meter running
  • Bounded to roughly a week — this is a read and a plan, not a residency
  • Not program ownership, technical design, a rebuilt project plan, or ongoing vendor management
  • No guaranteed recovery — what you're buying is the truth and a plan you can act on
  • The readout stands on its own. Whatever it recommends, you're free to run it with anyone you choose — including not me.

What I need from you

An executive sponsor who wants the honest answer

Six to eight interviews, 30–45 minutes each

Access to the program plan, status reporting, risk logs, readiness evidence, and vendor commitments

No PHI required

After the readout

After the readout, most clients do one of four things: run the 30-day plan with their own team, bring me in for targeted remediation, commission a full recovery blueprint, or move to embedded or interim leadership. All four are fine outcomes. The Review is complete either way.

Thirty minutes tells us both whether the Review fits. The fee and the plan come before any commitment.
