Your organisation may know its business. It doesn't necessarily know how to be an owner of a £100m capital project.
Principia Programme Delivery is an independent owner's team for organisations delivering capital projects between £20m and £200m - particularly those doing it for the first time, infrequently, or at unfamiliar scale.
If a project is already worrying you, here's exactly what happens next.
A confidential conversation, no obligation.
An independent fifteen-day assessment of the real position. More →
Stop, fix or accept, stated plainly - including if that means recommending against continuing.
The right capability applied, from a director to a full owner's team.
Most capital projects between £20m and £200m fail not at construction, but in the months before a contract is signed - when scope is unclear, risk sits in the wrong place, and the board no longer controls the project it commissioned. Principia exists to prevent that: a senior, accountable owner's representative, embedded from the earliest decisions through to handover.
We provide the experienced owner's organisation that companies don't have - until they need one.
A fifteen-day independent diagnostic, then a stop, fix or accept call - including, when that's the honest answer, telling you not to continue. Built on three decades of intervention work.

Five real engagements, described in full - scale, situation, outcome - without a single client named. Anonymous by design, detailed enough to be checked.
Principia is the independent practice of Allan Ross, working with a small group of associate directors assembled around each engagement, not a bench of consultants assigned to it.
Essays on the signals that precede failure, the contracts that decide outcomes, and the language that hides drift - plus the practitioner's guide, the brochure, and the forthcoming book.
If you're concerned about the position of your project, talk to us confidentially.
