Execution is where things break. Adam Josephs has spent more than two decades stepping into high-stakes environments where delivery matters, post-merger integrations, AI transformations, and critical growth initiatives, and making execution predictable. Adam is the creator of Risk Up Front®, a disciplined execution framework adopted by organizations like Goldman Sachs, Lam Research, and NeoPhotonics, and now taught at Dartmouth Engineering. His work focuses on engineering clarity, surfacing risk early, and installing operating rhythms that help teams move faster without burning out. In this episode, we’ll explore why most execution failures are avoidable, how leaders miss risk signals until it’s too late, and what consulting firm owners can learn from enterprise-grade execution systems to improve delivery, credibility, and growth. **********************************************************Proposed Interview Structure: 1. What originally pulled you into consulting and execution work, especially in high-stakes environments? 2. What is the core execution problem you see leaders struggling with today, and why does it matter so much to you? 3. Who do you primarily work with now, and who inside the organization usually becomes your main sponsor or decision maker? 4. How do clients typically find you today, and what has worked best for building credibility at the level you operate? Current Acquisition Channels: Referral Sub Question: What’s your view on podcasting as a marketing tool for consultants and advisors working with senior leaders? 5. Your work often involves long sales cycles and high trust, how do you help prospects move from interest to commitment? 6. Once a client starts working with you, how do you ensure they keep coming back, and how do you intentionally build long-term advisory relationships rather than one-off projects? 7. Where do you find yourself most stuck right now in your own consulting business, if at all? 8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunities, and risks, in your work around execution, operating models, and Risk Up Front® over the next few years?*********************************************************************Know more about Adam JosephsWebsite Link: http://www.celerityconsulting.com/Connect with Adam Josephs on LinkedInLinkedIn link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamjosephs/Apply to be a guest on Consulting Leaders:https://ghapodcast.com/application-to-be-a-guest-on-consulting-leaders/
