Jr Hart Co

You're three weeks past the deadline you stopped mentioning out loud. The steering committee meeting got "rescheduled" again. Somebody asked for a status update and got a slide that said "on track" for the fourth straight month. Nobody's lying to you. They're just not the one who's supposed to decide whether to kill it, and everyone's hoping someone else does first. Or you're not there yet. You already suspect it, before the board does, before the write-down. That's the cheaper call, and most people wait too long to make it. Most initiatives don't fail from bad strategy. They fail from a decision that never gets made. Responsibility diffuses. Risk piles up and nobody owns it. The org stays busy. Nothing resolves. That's when we get the call. We're not advisory. We don't hand you a deck and leave the decision with whoever's avoiding it. We take it. We find who owns the call, force the decision that's been dodged for a year, expose the failure points before anyone signs another check, and run execution ourselves until it's resolved. Then we leave. No seat to keep warm, no phase two to sell you. What this prevents: signing the wrong system. Spending millions before the failure shows up on a P&L. Blaming execution for a decision that was wrong before anyone touched a keyboard. Restarting from zero after go-live. Most failures are locked in early, while everyone's still calling it strategy. Track record: a six-year custom-software disaster killed and replaced at a fixed cost. Ten acquisitions folded into one operating model in 14 months. Vendor spend cut from $11M to under $5M, and it stayed cut. 1B-plus monthly transactions at uptime.$100M in annual savings. ROIC up over 100%. The industry changes. The pattern doesn't. Something locked in early, or about to be? That's the call. https://calendly.com/jrhartco/20-minute-call
