Listen "Commercial Acumen & Commercial delivery of a project."
Episode Synopsis
In Episode 83, I break down the exact 90-day plan a high-performing Solutions Director should follow the moment they join a consultancy. No fluff, no corporate theatre — just a practical, commercially sharp walkthrough of how to expose the truth in a delivery organisation, restore control, protect margin, and build a predictable engine for long-term success.I've learnt a hell of a lot in this area so I'll go through: • How to conduct a zero-BS portfolio review • Identifying the riskiest accounts before they explode • Establishing minimum viable governance without bureaucracy • Resetting client expectations and decision cadences • Fixing the root causes of margin erosion • Realigning people, skills, and capability safely • Building a scalable delivery playbook • Turning chaos into momentum — fastIf you’re a Delivery Manager, PM, Solutions Lead or aspiring executive, this episode is a masterclass in taking senior ownership and leading with clarity, discipline, and commercial integrity.Follow Mario De’Cristofano: 🔗 LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariodecristofano 🐦 Twitter/X:https://twitter.com/mariodc 📸 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mariodc ✍️ Medium: https://medium.com/@mariodecristofano 🧠 Blog:https://www.mariosblog.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
