Short, practical video sessions on owner-side capital project delivery — drawn from two decades running CAPEX portfolios inside Nestlé, AB-InBev, Tiger Brands, Unilever and RCL Foods. No theory for its own sake: the governance, controls and behaviours that decide whether a project lands on time, in full.
Each episode takes one failure pattern seen repeatedly on South African industrial projects and shows the owner-side practice that removes it.
The failure pattern is set long before site establishment. A teardown of the front-end decisions that quietly guarantee overrun — and the three gate questions that stop it.
How multinational FMCG gate models work in practice: what evidence a gate must demand, who may say no, and why 'conditional approval' is where budgets die.
Contractor programmes are commercial documents. Here's how to build an independent owner baseline and read float, lag and progress claims honestly.
Commitment vs accrual vs cash, forecast-at-completion discipline, and the one-page pack that keeps an exco aligned without hiding bad news.
Why OTIF handover starts at FEL-2: readiness criteria, vertical start-up planning, and the operator involvement that prevents a six-week ramp-up tail.
Most organisations never close the loop. A practical post-investment review that measures delivered value and feeds the next capital cycle.
If an episode described your project a little too accurately, a 30-minute scoping call will tell you whether the gap is governance, controls or contractor management.
