Practical ways oversight professionals can surface uncomfortable truths earlier and intervene before failures escalate.

Description

Most projects watch the dashboard, not the road. Leaders and oversight functions rely on familiar metrics and reassuring “green” indicators – even as meaningful warning signs emerge outside the reporting frame. Dashboards capture activity, not vulnerability, and they routinely filter out the uncomfortable signals decision-makers most need to see.

This session examines how early signs of project failure are missed, diluted, or misinterpreted long before timelines slip or issues become visible. Drawing on real-world oversight experience, Matthew shows why the conditions that matter most rarely appear in slide decks, how routine reporting creates blind spots and false assurance, and where accountability quietly erodes when no one is looking.

Speaker(s) Information

Matthew Oleniuk is a former senior executive with more than 15 years of experience providing oversight of large, complex projects. He has seen firsthand how serious issues remain invisible to decision-makers – and how fragmented accountability and team dynamics can quietly push initiatives toward failure.

Through his work at The Risk Insider, Matthew helps leaders and oversight professionals recognize early warning signs others miss, challenge reassuring narratives, and surface uncomfortable truths before problems escalate into visible breakdowns.
