Immediate Control & Crisis Recovery
THE CROWN PROTOCOL
Level 1: Interim Management
When mission-critical transformations are under scrutiny, politically blocked, or quietly failing—speed and clarity matter more than methodology.
I step in directly to stabilise high-stakes projects where failure is not an option.
I carry responsibility, restore executive governance, and re-establish decision authority before cost, trust, or credibility are lost.
This is intervention — not advice.
WHEN TO ENGAGE
→ Project crisis requiring immediate stabilisation and recovery
→ Interim project leadership for critical transformations (6-18 months)
→ High-risk programmes in regulated environments (NATO, AQAP, GxP)
→ Complex stakeholder situations requiring executive-level intervention
The Crown Protocol
My approach to crisis stabilisation:1. Define the Decision
Establish what must be decided, by who, by when—so work can actually move forward
2. Make the Work Visible
Surface real status, dependencies, and risks immediately—no false "green" status
3. Force the Trade-Off
Cut through competing priorities and political deadlock—stakeholders must choose
4. Hold the Line
Restore boundaries and decision authority with stakeholders—clarity without drama
5. Run the Room
Lead executive governance with calm, clear control—even under intense pressure
Same principles that guide my coaching and workshops — applied at crisis speed with direct authority.
EXPERIENCE
• 25+ years managing complex transformations
• €750k+ project recoveries across engineering, pharma, defence
• NATO/AQAP-compliant environments
• International matrix organisations and cross-border programmes
• C-suite stakeholder management under political pressure
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Once stability is restored, I often transition to coaching the project lead to ensure they can sustain independence and prevent future crises.
