Fractional Program Leadership & Recovery: When PowerPoint Says Green but Reality Doesn’t

Projects don’t fail overnight. They fail slowly, then all at once.

From the outside, everything looks fine: slides are polished, milestones are ticked off, and budget burn is "under control." But inside the team, delivery feels slow. Disconnected. Risky. No one says it out loud, but everyone senses it: something's off.

That's when clients call us.

At Baltimore Advisory, we specialise in fractional program leadership and recovery for high-stakes, high-visibility initiatives. We come in quietly, assess quickly, and bring calm to the chaos.

What We Do

We partner with organisations who are:

• Running mission-critical delivery streams with mounting complexity

• Under pressure to hit regulatory, commercial, or executive deadlines

• Facing cross-functional friction, delays, or unclear accountability

• Experiencing "green on paper, red in practice" syndrome

Our Approach

We don't throw bodies at the problem or reorg the org chart. We:

• Clarify ownership and decision pathways

• Surface silent risks and delivery friction

• Rebuild delivery rhythm and team trust

• Restore confidence with executives and stakeholders

Fractional means flexible: we embed just enough leadership to stabilise and strengthen the path forward, without bloating the team or slowing things down.

Signs You Might Need a Fractional Leader

• Projects are technically on track, but no one believes the dates

• Your team is managing up, not forward

• Updates are tidy, but your delivery lead is exhausted

• Risks only surface in corridor conversations

If you’ve got a $5m+ initiative that needs a steady hand, clear eyes, and crisp execution, we should talk.
