Why Most Alliances Fail—and How to Build One That Works
Uncovering the hidden conditions that undermine collaboration, and the mindset shifts leaders must make to move forward.
Reducing the risk of cost overruns, delays, and high-stakes project failure.
From major transit builds to multi-year energy developments, capital projects demand flawless coordination across thousands of moving parts — EPCs, subcontractors, stakeholders — all under immense pressure and with little room for error.
JMW has supported over 100 major capital projects worldwide, partnering with CEOs and project leaders to keep multi-billion-dollar initiatives on track. For more than 40 years, we’ve helped align leadership, strengthen accountability across the supply chain, and build a culture of trust and ownership that drives delivery.
The result? Projects that stay on schedule, within budget, and in scope — with clear control, smooth handovers, real-time risk visibility, and transparent reporting.
Deadlines are missed, costs are climbing, and confidence is wavering. We drive the recovery —realigning leadership and regaining control before early setbacks become full-scale delivery failures.
At project startup, hundreds of people, systems, and cultures are thrown together — often without a shared way of working. We help establish clarity, trust, and coordination so the team performs from day one.
Critical partners are behind, unresponsive, or creating downstream chaos. We bring accountability and urgency to the supply chain — cutting through noise to get progress moving again.
