Why Most Strategic Initiatives Fail
Despite massive investments in tools and training, most organizations still struggle with consistent project delivery:
✦ 50-70% of change in never reach completion
✦ Poor requirements definition causes half of all project failures
✦ Inadequate risk management contributes to 17% of project derailments
✦ Communication breakdowns account for 14% of failed initiatives
The Real Cost
Leaders end up firefighting instead of driving growth. Strategic focus is lost, stakeholder confidence erodes with every missed milestone, and teams grow frustrated when processes don’t support success.
What's at Stake
Organizations that can’t execute efficiently fall behind more agile competitors, waste resources, and miss critical market opportunities.

Proven Results Across Industries
With over 120 years of combined experience, we’ve helped companies like Estee Lauder, Qualitor Inc., Church & Dwight, GSK, and Lubrizol build scalable systems for project success across automotive, consumer goods, healthcare, and chemical industries
New Oaks identified critical workstreams and built scalable, repeatable steps that we use to manage work and complete key tasks. Without your involvement in planning and process definition and Gabrielle’s “on the floor” leadership and continuous improvement focus we would not have been successful throughout the recent peak shipping season. Without exaggeration, you and the team built the systems that we use today to manage work and ensure that key tasks are managed and completed on a daily, weekly, and even monthly cadence. Your ability to teach, measure, and define process was felt across the facility and your focus on always pushing beyond the status quo remains with the team today. Despite the heavy volumes of the past two months, they have continued to surface new ideas and solutions, both big and small, to drive efficiency and quality.
Jon Ragan
Through his collaborative and thoughtful style, Billy, our New Oaks consultant, shared his extensive experience and skills to build capabilities in our growing project management team. New Oaks worked alongside us as hands-on partners and team members. The New Oaks team created and conducted a series of twelve CPG-focused project management training modules, establishing base skills and common practices across our team. I have received consistent feedback from my team members that their skills have been improved and their contributions as project managers have been enhanced as a direct result of New Oaks’ training and coaching. New Oaks has been a wonderful partner and delivered tremendous value to our organization.
Brad Resch
As Opte was a new brand, new technology and new (global) supply chain, Billy’s role was highly complex and required integration of teams, partners and relationships across the world. Billy established strong capabilities and systems to keep the complexity under control and provided reliable and clear updates on progress to leadership.

I’ve had the great pleasure to work with New Oaks Consulting on multiple cross-border new product introductions. From programs in the US, Spain, Hong Kong and China, New Oaks brought strategic, program management and supply chain expertise to often complex programs. They were well prepared, detailed and focused on helping both internal and external teams execute against program objectives. New Oaks brings tremendous value to both small and large companies.

New Oaks was quickly able to grasp the heart behind our company, help us to see clearly who we are, what our real goals are, what was keeping us from those goals and helped us to develop processes that allow us to see the path through the weeds.

I have enjoyed the last several years getting to know Daryl - he has that rare ability to develop the macro and never miss a detail in the micro. Well beyond that he is pure in heart, doing the right thing for the right reasons. Very glad to count him as a friend.
