Engagements

Engagements built for measurable impact

Every engagement begins with the problem — not a methodology, framework, or job title. We determine where execution is breaking down, match the intervention to the constraint, and measure whether it worked.

Flagship

90-Day Delivery Transformation

Execution is busy, but the results aren’t matching the effort. We identify what’s slowing work down, fix the operating constraints behind it, and work alongside your teams to improve delivery performance in 90 days.

Ideal for: Organizations facing missed commitments, slow execution, or inconsistent delivery.

Retainer

Fractional Delivery Leadership

Senior delivery leadership without adding another full-time executive. We embed alongside your leaders and teams to strengthen execution, manage cross-functional complexity, and bring operating discipline to critical initiatives.

Ideal for: Organizations that need experienced delivery leadership now, but not another permanent hire.

Diagnostic

Delivery System Diagnostic

Before you invest in another solution, find out what’s actually slowing execution down. We examine how work moves through your organization, identify the constraints, and give leadership a prioritized roadmap for what to fix first.

Ideal for: Leaders who know execution isn’t working but want evidence before committing to a larger engagement.

Embedded

Embedded Delivery Leadership

Experienced practitioners deployed where execution needs reinforcement. We match the problem with the right KAG practitioner — from program and delivery leaders to release managers, product and quality leaders, Agile coaches, Scrum Masters, and other specialized delivery roles — with KAG oversight throughout the engagement.

Ideal for: Critical programs, capability gaps, struggling initiatives, and high-stakes delivery.

Results

Predictable delivery is not a promise. It is a measurable operating outcome.

Case study 01Legal tech SaaS
33% → 80%+
Sprint delivery within 90 days

The challenge

Two delivery squads were completing approximately 33% of planned work. Competing priorities, inconsistent work readiness, and unclear ownership made execution difficult to predict.

What we changed

  • Strengthened work-readiness standards
  • Clarified cross-functional ownership
  • Exposed risks and dependencies earlier
  • Improved planning and release cadence
  • Increased leadership visibility

The outcome

Sprint delivery increased to more than 80% within 90 days — a 47+ percentage-point improvement and approximately 2.4x the original delivery rate.

Case study 02Financial services platform
30% → 70%
On-time delivery
45 → 10 days
Average cycle time

The challenge

A nationwide HSA/FSA technology organization was delivering approximately 30% of committed work on time, while average cycle time had reached approximately 45 days.

What we changed

  • Improved intake and prioritization
  • Strengthened planning readiness
  • Reduced excessive work in progress
  • Clarified blocker and dependency ownership
  • Improved leadership reporting

The outcome

On-time delivery increased to 70% while average cycle time decreased from approximately 45 days to 10 days — improving both delivery reliability and execution speed.

Case study 03Enterprise B2B commerce platform
4 product teams
3 release cycles

The challenge

Release readiness was fragmented across four product teams. Ownership was unclear, QA risks surfaced late, architecture handoffs were inconsistent, and leadership lacked a reliable view of release health.

What we changed

  • Established go/no-go and code-freeze controls
  • Created cross-team risk and dependency tracking
  • Clarified release, QA, and decision ownership
  • Coordinated defect triage and hotfix response
  • Introduced architecture-review and knowledge-transfer cadences

The outcome

Leadership gained earlier risk visibility and a more consistent view of release readiness, while teams operated with clearer ownership, escalation paths, and cross-team coordination.

Konya Advisory Group is an enterprise delivery and operational improvement consultancy helping organizations fix the systems behind missed commitments, slow execution, unclear ownership, and inconsistent delivery.

We don’t arrive with a methodology looking for somewhere to apply it. We examine how work actually moves through your organization — from strategy and prioritization through execution, release, and measurement — and identify what’s getting in the way. Then we work alongside your leaders and teams to fix it.

Better flow. Clearer ownership. Stronger execution. Measurable outcomes.

Insights on delivery, ownership, and execution

Short reads drawn from real LinkedIn posts — the same thinking, in longer form.

I love cross-functional teams.

Strong teams share knowledge across product, engineering, QA and design — so work never depends on one person.

LinkedIn

Your team may not have a productivity problem. It may be paying a coordination tax.

Duplicate updates, manual handoffs and status theater stall delivery more than individual productivity does.

I've had several shorter engagements on my résumé.

Short engagements are intentional: fix the delivery system, then leave the organization self-sufficient.

FAQ

Questions we hear most

Our engagements are designed for organizations where execution isn’t matching the strategy — missed commitments, slow delivery, competing priorities, unclear ownership, unstable releases, cross-team dependencies, or work that simply takes too long to move from decision to done.

We diagnose where the operating system is breaking down, then match the intervention to the problem — from a focused diagnostic and roadmap to fractional leadership or a hands-on transformation engagement.

We start by establishing a baseline and identifying the constraints affecting delivery — how work enters the system, how priorities are set, where decisions stall, how dependencies are managed, and where execution breaks down.

From there, we work alongside your leaders and teams to implement targeted changes, measure their impact, and adjust as needed.

The objective isn’t to install a framework. It’s to materially improve how reliably and efficiently your organization turns priorities into outcomes.

Fractional Delivery Leadership is designed for organizations that need experienced delivery leadership but don’t need — or aren’t ready to hire — another full-time executive.

We step into the operating environment, establish visibility and accountability, align leaders and teams, strengthen planning and execution rhythms, manage critical dependencies and risks, and help move high-priority work forward.

The engagement can also provide leadership coverage while you build or strengthen the permanent capability internally.

It’s the focused option for leaders who know performance needs to improve but don’t yet have enough evidence to determine why.

We examine how work moves from strategy and prioritization through execution, release, and measurement; identify the most consequential constraints; and deliver a prioritized improvement roadmap.

You leave with a clearer diagnosis of the problem, what should change first, and where additional intervention is — or isn’t — warranted.

No. We’re methodology-agnostic.

We work with the operating environment you have and use the practices that best address the problem. That may include Agile, Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, Lean, traditional program management, or a hybrid approach.

The framework is a tool. Better business execution is the objective.

Usually, no.

Our engagements are designed to strengthen the system and the people already operating within it. We work alongside executives, delivery leaders, product, engineering, project and program management, operations, and other teams to improve how work gets done.

Where a genuine capability or leadership gap exists, we can provide experienced practitioners to fill it as part of the engagement.

We primarily work with mid-market and enterprise organizations managing complex technology, transformation, product, and operational initiatives.

We’re especially useful when the problem crosses organizational boundaries — multiple teams, competing priorities, dependencies, executive stakeholders, regulatory or operational constraints, and high-value initiatives where inconsistent execution has a real business cost.

Pricing depends on the engagement, scope, complexity, duration, and level of leadership required.

Diagnostics are scoped as focused engagements. Fractional leadership is typically structured as a recurring engagement. Larger transformation work is priced around the defined scope and outcomes.

After an initial conversation, we’ll recommend the appropriate engagement and provide a clear scope, timeline, deliverables, and investment before work begins.

KAG is a consulting firm.

We are engaged to solve defined delivery and operational problems, and we scope our work around the outcome rather than simply filling a role.

When an engagement requires specialized capacity, we can bring experienced practitioners into the work. They operate as part of the KAG engagement and against the outcomes we’ve agreed to deliver.

It depends on the scope and complexity of the engagement.

KAG maintains a bench of experienced delivery, transformation, product, engineering, quality, and program practitioners, which allows us to assemble the right team around the problem rather than force every engagement into the same model.

Focused diagnostics can typically mobilize faster. Fractional leadership and larger transformation engagements may require additional scoping to determine the right mix of leadership and practitioner support.

Once we understand the problem, scope, stakeholders, and urgency, we’ll provide a clear mobilization plan and start date in the proposal.
