Most programs in crisis did not get there overnight. The warning signs were present. What was missing was someone with the seniority, the platform knowledge, and the willingness to name what was actually happening. That is what The Cadence Partners provides.
Most firms in this situation will tell you they are flexible and collaborative. That is not what a program in crisis needs. What it needs is someone who will identify what is actually broken, across governance, design, data, and testing, before recommending a direction.
When a program has lost momentum, credibility, or both, the organizations that recover fastest are the ones that bring in an independent senior practitioner early, before the situation becomes irreversible.
The Cadence Partners enters at the senior level, conducts an honest assessment of what is actually happening, and builds a path forward that leadership can stand behind. We do not manage the optics of a failing program. We fix it. That work is led by someone who started her career inside HR, not consulting, and who has been on the receiving end of the kind of implementation that loses the confidence of the people doing the work. That perspective matters when a program is in crisis.
This service is for organizations where the normal escalation paths have already been exhausted. Where the implementation partner is managing the relationship rather than the work. Where internal leadership knows something is wrong but does not yet have the language or the data to act on it. We are not here to make incremental progress. We are here to identify what went wrong, align leadership around a plan they can stand behind, and move the program toward a go-live that people are actually confident in. That is what recovery looks like.
If any of these describes where you are right now, you are in the right place.
Every recovery engagement follows the same structured model regardless of platform, program size, or how far things have gone sideways. The phases are fixed. The timelines are realistic. The outcomes at each stage are defined before work begins.

Three things that distinguish a Cadence Partners recovery engagement from what most organizations have already tried.
“Leslie is a true professional. With exceptional communication skills, deep business understanding, and thorough knowledge of the Lawson ERP system, Leslie was truly one of our superstars. I would hire her again in a second.
“She is detail and process oriented, organized, reliable, and has excellent documentation skills. I would definitely recommend Leslie to any organization.
What distinguishes a recovery that succeeds is a structured, objective approach that identifies what is actually wrong and addresses it at the root, not one that adapts around the problem while reporting that progress is being made.
Recovery is our lead practice. We also work across HCM conversions and upgrades, ServiceNow integration, payroll transformation, and technology advisory, often following a recovery engagement once the program is back on track.
