Program recovery · Case study
A major bank migration brought back under control.
Resetting governance, delivery, and executive confidence after a previous vendor left a critical migration behind schedule and over budget.
The situation
What needed to change
A large-scale bank migration had fallen behind schedule and exceeded budget expectations. Senior confidence was deteriorating and the delivery organization needed facts, not another optimistic status report.
The mandate
Establish a credible fact base, protect critical delivery, reset ownership and governance, and create an executable recovery plan.
30days ahead of the reset plan
The Mojoflow moves
Senior judgment translated into an operating system.
- 01Separated facts, assumptions, commitments, and unresolved decisions
- 02Rebuilt governance around decisions, dependencies, and accountable owners
- 03Combined agile execution with milestone and risk control
- 04Created an executive cadence focused on consequences and recovery actions
What happened next
Evidence of movement.
- Programme completed 30 days ahead of the reset plan
- Delivery finished under the revised budget
- Executive confidence was restored
- The programme regained one visible source of truth
“The first value of a recovery is not a revised date. It is a decision system that leadership and delivery teams both trust.”
