Richard Broo is a project management turnaround specialist and founder of True North PMP Consulting, with more than four decades of experience helping Fortune 500 companies and mid-market organizations recover projects that are bleeding budget, sliding on timelines, or losing leadership alignment. In this episode, Richard breaks down the invisible forces that cause most projects to fail quietly — long before anyone at the top realizes what is happening.
Topics covered in this episode:
- Why project failures almost always trace back to a specific three-way intersection of planning, execution, and people discipline
- How scope creep accumulates undetected, and what a proper scope statement must include to stop it
- Why assumptions and constraints function as “invisible assassins” that undermine even well-planned projects
- The hidden financial and emotional costs of executive sponsors who disengage mid-project
- The structured triage and root-cause corrective action process Richard uses to close critical bottlenecks within 60 days
- What small and mid-sized businesses can learn from General Electric’s project discipline model
