Evidence-Based Project Diagnostics

Your project is
in trouble.
We tell you why.

ODM Project Advisory delivers forensic health assessments for complex, at-risk programmes — so leadership gets the clarity to act before failure becomes inevitable.

The Problem

Most projects fail
silently.

"We knew something was wrong. We just didn't know what — or how to prove it to the board."

This is the moment ODM is built for. We enter where ambiguity is highest and give leadership the structured evidence they need to intervene with confidence.

What We Do

Three services.
One framework.

Structured project intelligence for organisations that can't afford guesswork on high-stakes programmes.

Project Delivery
Health Check
A forensic diagnostic of your project's current health across eight dimensions. Delivered in 72 hours. Actionable from day one.
02 ·
Recovery Control
Sprint
Intensive 4–8 week embedded advisory to stabilise an at-risk programme, re-establish controls, and restore stakeholder confidence.
03 ·
PMO Assurance
Partnership
Ongoing advisory to raise your PMO's diagnostic maturity — building the internal capability to catch problems before they escalate.

Who It's For

Built for leaders
who need answers.

Programme Director
Your programme is complex, politically charged, and you need independent evidence before the next steering committee.
COO / CIO
A major transformation is underway and you're not confident the delivery data you're seeing reflects reality on the ground.
PMO Lead
You need a credible, structured baseline to prioritise recovery effort — and a framework that stakeholders will trust.
Transformation Lead
You're mid-programme, delivery confidence is dropping, and the board is asking hard questions you don't yet have answers to.
Non-Executive / Sponsor
You're accountable for outcomes but removed from day-to-day delivery. You need an independent view before committing further investment.
Head of Portfolio
Multiple programmes, competing priorities, and inconsistent quality gates. You need a repeatable diagnostic standard across your portfolio.
What We Review

Eight dimensions.
Zero assumptions.

Every Health Check is scored against the Project Health Index — a proprietary 8-dimension framework built from real-world delivery forensics.

01
Governance & Oversight
Decision rights, escalation paths, RAID log effectiveness, meeting cadence and accountability structures.
02
Scope Integrity
Requirements traceability, change log completeness, scope creep signals and definition clarity.
03
Schedule & Milestones
Baseline vs. actual tracking, dependency mapping, critical path visibility, and forecasting rigour.
04
Financial Control
Budget vs. actuals, EAC confidence, benefit tracking, and financial reporting integrity.
05
Risk & Issue Management
Risk register quality, issue resolution velocity, mitigation ownership and escalation behaviour.
06
Stakeholder Alignment
Engagement mapping, communication plan execution, sponsor visibility and conflict signals.
07
Change Control
Change request process maturity, approval cycle times, impact assessment consistency.
08
Delivery Cadence
Team velocity patterns, delivery rhythm consistency, retrospective evidence, and quality signals.
What Clients Receive

Board-ready outputs.
From day one.

📊
PHI Diagnostic Report
A structured, evidence-backed written assessment covering all eight PHI dimensions — with citations, contradiction flags, and risk signals. Suitable for board and steering committee use.
📈
Interactive Health Dashboard
A visual, interactive representation of your PHI scores with dimension breakdowns, trend context, and heat-mapped priority areas. Share directly with leadership.
🔎
Contradiction & Risk Signal Log
A forensic record of contradictions between project documents — where status reports conflict with artefacts, and where risk signals are present but undeclared.
🗺
Prioritised Remediation Roadmap
A sequenced, actionable plan mapping the highest-priority interventions to PHI dimensions — with effort estimates and dependency guidance.
📌
Evidence Traceability Matrix
Every score substantiated with document references and evidence markers — so leadership can interrogate the findings with full transparency.

Why ODM / Why PHI

Not consultancy theatre.
Structured evidence.

Built by practitioners, not theorists
The PHI framework was developed from real programme delivery experience across regulated industries — healthcare, legal, EdTech, and digital transformation.
Evidence-first, opinion-second
Every score is grounded in document evidence. We don't offer impressions — we offer substantiated findings with traceable citations.
Fast enough to matter
72-hour turnaround means you have the diagnostic in your hands before the next steering committee — not after the next escalation.
Independent and conflict-free
No implementation team. No upsell agenda. Our only interest is giving you an honest picture of your programme's health.

The Project Health Index

The PHI is ODM's proprietary diagnostic framework — a structured, weighted scoring model that evaluates project health across eight delivery dimensions. Unlike RAG ratings or subjective audits, the PHI produces a reproducible, evidence-backed score that leadership can act on.

It was designed to be legible to executive stakeholders and rigorous enough to withstand scrutiny in escalation environments.
