Advisory · Programs
Get the program back on a plan that holds.
Independent advice for program and acquisition leaders. Governance, recovery, integration, and acquisition planning, shaped so the plan survives contact with the schedule.
Program scope
What decides whether the program lands.
Governance
Who decides what, how often, and on what evidence.
Schedule and budget
Where the plan and the money have drifted apart.
Risk
Which risks are being tracked, and which are being ignored.
Integration
How two teams, systems, or organizations become one.
Reporting
The few measures leadership needs to see, kept current.
Acquisition scope
What has to be true before it goes out.
Requirements
What the program actually needs, written so vendors can bid on it.
Market research
Who can deliver, and on what terms.
Acquisition strategy
The vehicle, the contract type, and the evaluation approach.
Vendor oversight
How delivery is measured once the award is made.
Risk register model
How risk is captured and rated.
-
Captured
Each risk is written against the specific decision.
-
Rated
Likelihood and impact are assessed, not just listed.
-
Tied to the decision
Every risk states what it would change if it lands.
Deliverables
What you receive.
- A program assessment with a recovery plan.
- A governance model and a decision log.
- An acquisition strategy and requirements review.
- A rated risk register tied to the decision.
Conflict and confidentiality posture
Independence is established up front.
Conflict checks
Conflicts are checked before any engagement begins.
NDA available
An NDA is available before detailed material is shared.
Personal-capacity independence
Karaya Group operates in a personal capacity, independent of any vendor or bidder.
Approved or anonymized examples
Decision shapes, never named clients.
- A program where reporting, not delivery, was hiding the slip.
- An integration of two organizations behind one operating model.
- A requirement rewritten before solicitation so it could be bid.
These are anonymized shapes of decisions. No client, program, or figure on this page is a specific engagement.
Questions
Common questions.
- Do you take on program management roles?
- No. Karaya advises the people who run the program. It does not sit in the role, and it does not supply staff.
- Can you work on an active procurement?
- Only where no conflict exists. Karaya will not advise a buyer and a bidder on the same procurement, and conflicts are checked before any detail is shared.
- How is confidential material handled?
- A first message should carry no confidential detail. An NDA is available before deeper material is shared, and access is scoped to the brief.
Start with the brief
Bring the program decision to an independent view.
Tell Karaya where the program stands and what has to change. Keep confidential detail out of a first message.
Or email contact@karaya.group.
