The Auditor's View: Early Project Warning Signs

The Auditor's View: Early Project Warning Signs

Ever get that sinking feeling that your project is heading off the rails, but you can't quite put your finger on why?


In this episode, we sit down with Matthew Oleniuk, former Federal Chief Audit Executive who oversaw billions in government projects. Matthew had a unique vantage point—he wasn't just managing projects, he was auditing them. This gave him an insider's view of what really separates successful initiatives from expensive disasters.


In this conversation, we explore:

  • Why project challenges are surprisingly universal across public and private sectors
  • The three critical early warning signs every PM should watch for: disengaged stakeholders, vague status updates, and exhausted teams
  • How the auditor's perspective reveals patterns that project managers miss when they're too close to the action
  • Practical strategies for nonprofits and public service organizations with limited resources


Whether you're managing a small team initiative or overseeing complex capital projects, Matthew's insights could save your next project—and your sanity.


Perfect for: Project managers, nonprofit directors, public sector leaders, and anyone who's ever wondered "how did we miss the warning signs?"
