Our Project Audit will Eliminate
Your Blind Spots
THE TRUE NORTH GUARANTEE
We will reduce cost, cycle time, risk or waste by a minimum of 10%.
It’s definitely worth a conversation.
Let’s be honest…
Most companies don’t bother to audit their project management process. They patch up symptoms here and there, but never get to the root of the problem. The result? Wasted resources, missed deadlines, cost overruns, and projects that fail to meet their objectives. It can feel like a never-ending nightmare.
How confident are you that your current Project Management Process is actually working?
- Are your projects consistently delivered on-time and on-budget?
- Do your customers rave about the value you create, or just accept the outcome?
- And most importantly, are you happy with how things are running?
If you hesitated to answer any of those questions, it’s time for a reality check. Enter True North PMP Consulting…
For just $5,000, our no-nonsense Project Management Process Audit will expose exactly why your projects are going sideways. We’ll dig deep into every phase—initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing—to uncover the root causes dragging your projects down.
- Pinpoint why projects go over-budget or past deadline (it’s not just bad luck)
- Discover hidden process flaws causing failure and frustration
- Learn how to stop repeating the same mistakes and start delivering real results
- Boost productivity and reclaim control of your projects
The Best Part of The Project Management Audit?
When you sign a contract for our services, the $5,000 fee for the Project Management Audit is taken off the total price of further services. That means it’s basically free!
Here’s the deal…
Every project you run is like a mystery novel, full of hidden traps that could derail your project. What if you had a partner on your side, one who doesn’t just point out the problems but rolls up their sleeves and solves them with you?
That’s who True North PMP Consulting is. The project management process audit experts you never knew you needed. We don’t just find ways to slash costs, shrink cycle times, and kick risk to the curb. We actually help you do it. Think of us as your project’s personal trainers, whipping your process into shape with smart, measurable, and downright doable solutions that boost efficiency, improve customer satisfaction, and grow your bottom line.

CHALLENGE:
Promoted to President/CEO to save an employee-owned company near bankruptcy. Despite a strong product line, the company lacked leadership and financial resources to reinvest.
ACTION:
Reviewed finances and found high operational costs, excessive headcount, poor production and quality, declining sales, and aging assets. Proposed reducing headcount, fixing manufacturing issues, improving sales margins, dissolving the ESOP, and selling the company to attract capital.
RESULT:
Led a successful 363 Bankruptcy restructuring, dissolved the ESOP, cut headcount by 49%, reduced costs by $4M annually, and boosted profitability through renegotiated sales. Sold the company for $22M (vs. $12M asset value), saved employee pensions, paid all debts, and enabled a $15M investment for modernization by the new owner.
Challenge:
Low client satisfaction with the company performance due to lack of communication, as well as consistent late shipments of orders.
Actions Taken:
- Hired a new Customer Service Manager and three CSRs to strengthen the team.
- Expanded CSR roles: CSRs now process orders and proactively update clients on order status via email and phone.
- Assigned account responsibility: Each CSR manages specific small to medium accounts for customer service and inside sales.
- Instituted daily cross-functional meetings with managers and schedulers to monitor and address shipment schedules, reducing late deliveries.
- Established shared accountability: Customer Service, Plant, and Logistics Managers are jointly responsible for on-time shipments, with monthly performance reviews.
Result:
Reduced customer complaints related to lack of communication regarding order entry and order status by an average of 75%. On-time Shipment rating (metric) increased from 73% to 96%.
Initiatives saved company $1.1 Million over a 3.5 year period.

Rich has always been an innovator in Project Management disciplines. He is not afraid to ask the hard questions that result in genuine value for his customers. I believe his focus on the hard facts will deliver cost reductions to his True North customers.

Dr. Ray Glaser
I have known Rich professionally for almost thirty years. In that time, I have seen him bring order out of chaos in several complex business situations. Project management skills and the ability to effectively apply them in practice were the keys to success. He knows the subject matter, can apply it effectively, and can translate that into an organization.
Jennifer Smith
Rich gives a great prep course for the PMP. The practice exams and prep materials are exactly what I was looking for to help me prepare for the PMP Exam.

Ryan Gibson
True North stepped in to help our organization about a year ago. They brought a new level of discipline and accountability to our Project Management discipline that we were greatly lacking. We successfully led us through several strategic projects that have “launched” and are having a very positive impact on our business. I would strongly Rich and the True North team.
Stephen Brooks
It was a pleasure to work with True North. The True North team is outstanding and professional. They helped raise the bar within the AMI team and drove results.
Adam Wood
The True North team did a great job bringing the necessary structure to our project. Always prepared and knowing when to apply the right tools. Rich and team took the time to learn the details of the business while always having the big picture in mind.
Raju Patil
Richard is an excellent coach and a mentor. His vast knowledge of our industry and project management background is very helpful in guiding us through this complex system. Our small team was able to achieve many of our goals due to Richards guidance.
Richard helped us avoid a lot of pitfalls a startup would generally have because of his years of knowledge being in the same position we are in now. Not only has he helped us streamline our processes which is helping our projects run more smoothly, he’s always there to support us each step of the way and provides valuable insights that are priceless.
Tadahiro Komura
True North has been consulting and supporting our company, Teijin Kasei America, for 6 1/2 months. One of the most impressive points was that their approach is very “realistic and efficient”, in other words, a “down-to-earth” type of approach.
The approach of typical consulting companies was too theoretical for us. The True North PMP network of connections in chemical and material industries is fantastic. We strongly recommend True North PMP Consulting. If your company is struggling with some projects like we were, contact them soon!
Beth Graves
True North helped our team get honest about our existing NPD process. They did not impose their ideas on our system. Instead, they allowed us to come to those realizations on our own. Since our project, we have continued to build upon our work together and I will definitely keep them in mind for future opportunities.
