Reset · Service 3 of 4$5,000 to $10,000+

Your project isn't dead. But it needs help.

Deadlines slipped. The team stopped communicating openly. Scope grew without anyone deciding to grow it. You're not sure if the project can be saved, but you're not ready to kill it either.

What it is

Reset is a two-phase engagement, diagnose first, then facilitate. We start with structured interviews with your sponsor and team members individually, review your project artifacts, and build an honest diagnostic of what actually went wrong and what is recoverable. Then we run a facilitated reset session that re-establishes scope, ownership, and commitments.

Who it's for
  • Founders whose project is behind and losing momentum
  • Leaders who inherited a troubled project
  • Teams where conflict or confusion has stalled delivery
  • Sponsors deciding whether to re-commit or shut it down
What you get
  • Sponsor interview (60 min)
  • Individual team member interviews (30 min each)
  • Diagnostic Report, what went wrong and what is recoverable
  • Facilitated reset session (half or full day)
  • Revised scope and RACI
  • Post-session summary, commitments and next actions
  • 2-week follow-up check-in call

Questions

Before you book.

Can our project actually be saved?
The diagnostic tells you honestly. We interview the sponsor and team individually, review artifacts, and report what went wrong and what is recoverable, before you commit to the reset.
What is the Diagnostic Report?
A written, honest account of what actually went wrong and what can be recovered, built from individual interviews and an artifact review. It is yours whether or not you proceed.
Do you offer on-site resets?
Yes, in the Phoenix metro. On-site is a flat-fee add-on: $500 for a half-day, $1,000 for a full-day.
