Ori|ginal Work

Services built for practitioners
and the organizations that need them.

Every engagement is tailored to your actual context — not a pre-packaged program pressed into a shape that doesn't fit.

Individual

1:1 PM Coaching

For PMs who are doing good work but feel stuck — not promoted, not heard, not given the strategic room they've earned. We work on the gap between where you are and where your role actually allows you to operate.

This isn't soft-skills coaching. It's positioning work. We start with your stakeholder map, the decisions you're being left out of, and the communication patterns that may be holding your influence back.

  • 6 or 12-session coaching arcs
  • Stakeholder influence mapping
  • Executive communication frameworks
  • Career positioning and promotion strategy
  • Between-session accountability check-ins
Organizational

PMO Design & Build

Whether you're standing up a PMO for the first time or restructuring one that's lost credibility, we bring the governance architecture and cultural intelligence to build something that actually gets used.

The trap most PMO builds fall into is prioritizing process over adoption. We design for both.

  • PMO charter and governance framework
  • Tooling selection and configuration
  • Intake, prioritization, and portfolio review cadences
  • Stakeholder alignment and executive reporting design
  • Handoff and knowledge transfer documentation
Team

Agile Transformation

Most agile transformations fail not because the framework was wrong, but because the adoption ignored the culture it landed in. We start by diagnosing why previous attempts didn't take before prescribing anything new.

The result is an agile practice shaped to your team's actual working style.

  • Agile readiness and culture diagnostic
  • Methodology selection and customization
  • Facilitated team ceremonies and rituals
  • Coach-the-coach enablement for team leads
  • Retrospective cadence and continuous improvement design
Crisis

Project Recovery

When a project has gone sideways — timeline fiction, scope collapse, executive trust eroding — the instinct is to fix delivery. We also ask: what value can still be extracted, and how do we reframe this honestly to leadership?

Recovery isn't just about getting green again.

  • Rapid project diagnostic and risk inventory
  • RACI restructure and accountability reset
  • Executive rebaseline narrative and communications
  • Scope and timeline recovery planning
  • Post-recovery retrospective and lessons architecture
Workshop

Team Workshops

Facilitated, hands-on sessions designed around specific team friction points — not generic PM training. Each workshop is scoped and delivered based on a pre-work diagnostic with team leads.

Common engagements include stakeholder influence, risk reframing, and executive communication.

  • Pre-workshop team diagnostic and scoping
  • Half-day or full-day facilitation
  • Custom workshop materials and frameworks
  • Post-workshop implementation guide
  • Optional follow-up session at 30 or 60 days
Executive

Portfolio Strategy

For senior leaders who need their portfolio to actually reflect the organization's strategic priorities. We build the framing, prioritization logic, and review architecture.

Most valuable when there's a mismatch between what the portfolio says and what leadership actually cares about.

  • Portfolio audit and strategic alignment review
  • Prioritization framework design
  • Executive portfolio reporting structure
  • Resource allocation and capacity modeling
  • Portfolio governance and review cadence

Engagements are scoped, not slotted.

Pricing is determined after a discovery conversation — because the right engagement for a solo PM navigating a promotion looks very different from standing up your first PMO. Let's talk first.
