Execution that closes. Reliability that sticks.
For refineries, petrochemicals, power, and asset-intensive operators running major programs under risk and time pressure.
I drive execution, engagement, and clarity by installing lightweight operating cadences that force decisions, close actions with evidence, and build frontline ownership when time, risk, and attention are constrained.
Trusted by GMs and sponsors for decision-grade packs that move executive teams and boards to action.

Three Flagship Offers
I lead execution through three core engagements
They can be deployed standalone, or combined as an integrated operating cadence.
Industrial Program Governance-in-a-Box
Reduce chaos, clarify decision rights, and accelerate delivery by installing a minimum-viable operating cadence.
Typical: 1-2 day Sprint, 4-6 week Pilot, or Retainer
Primary buyer: GM, Program Director, PMO Lead
Best when: Plans exist but decisions stall, scope creeps, or forums multiply.
Decision packs
- 1-page Charter + Decision Rights
- Cadence map (minimum decision forums)
- Single integrated risk & actions log (one source of truth)
- Weekly 2-pager + monthly decision pack
- Decision log to prevent re-litigation
Risk & Opportunity Cadence Pack
Turn frontline insight into prioritized actions that close, with clear ownership, barrier thinking, and a leadership cadence that prevents drift.
Typical: 2-day Sprint, 6-week Pilot, or Retainer
Primary buyer: Operations Director, Reliability Manager, Risk Lead
Best when: Risk registers exist but actions don't close; threats linger, opportunities drift.
Decision packs
- Bow-tie risk record template
- Opportunity record template
- Funnel & triage rules
- Scoring anchors + dashboard skeleton
- Weekly / biweekly / monthly cadence agendas
Engage for Excellence (E4X) Execution Toolkit
Create adoption, frontline ownership, and sustained execution by turning trust-building behaviours into simple weekly routines.
Typical: 10-day Diagnostic, 6-week Sprint, or Retainer
Primary buyer: GM, Operations Manager, Site Leader
Best when: Plans are sound but frontline execution stalls; adoption is the constraint.
Decision packs
- 10-12 question pulse + interview guide
- Weekly 20-30 min huddle format
- Leader 1:1 template + manager prompts
- 6-week sprint plan + facilitation decks
- Scorecard + dashboard skeleton
Board-Grade Quality
Decision-grade packs, not deck theatre
Single source of truth. Clear decision asks. Evidence-based closure. Just the information boards and ExCo need to act.
Typically issued within 24 hours after each forum.
"Within six weeks, our steering committee finally had the clarity to make decisions that had been stuck for months. The operating rhythm now runs itself."
GM, Major Capital Program
Executive & Board Support
When executives and boards need decision-grade clarity fast
Select engagements for sponsors, GMs, and board committees requiring rapid, high-stakes delivery.
Technical & operational due diligence
Board/investor-grade risk and value narrative
Organization design & function resets
Accountabilities, interfaces, governance
Interim program leadership
High-stakes delivery and reliability turnarounds
If you're unsure which path fits, start with a 20-min Diagnostic Call.
How I Work
A systematic approach to execution
Diagnose (10 days)
Rapid diagnostic + interviews + baseline measures. I identify where execution gets stuck and define a 90-day plan.
Outputs: baseline, bottlenecks, top risks, and a 90-day plan.
Install cadence (4-6 weeks)
I run the minimum viable operating system: tight forums, single source of truth, decision-grade packs, and closure rules.
Outputs: forums, single log, decision packs, cadence rules, metrics.
Transfer & scale
I embed capability so your team runs it without me: internal facilitators, simplified dashboards, and replication across units.
Outputs: trained facilitators, templates, dashboards, and a replication plan.

I'm Gregor Jenzer, a strategic advisor and transformation leader with 25+ years across oil & gas, petrochemicals, and asset-intensive operations.

Through Jenzer Advisory, I drive execution, engagement, and clarity by installing practical operating cadences that convert plans into performance. I lead the work and, when needed, bring in a small network of specialists. Decision packs for executive teams and boards are an artifact of that process.
Currently supporting a national energy company in the Gulf.
