How To Fix Your Underutilized Team

Redraw your firm's org chart - live - with a community of consulting leaders.

You don’t fix lumpy utilization with a new project and resource management policy. You fix it by treating utilization like a system, not just a number, with Mark Orttung and Andy Lin’s ten utilization-lifting moves.

Andy Lin

Provoke CEO Andy Lin reckons the Matrix has a lot to teach us about AI: the agents look unbeatable, but the real superpower is still humanity.

Mark Orttung 06

Projectworks CEO Mark Orttung was studying AI before most firms had email - and knows exactly where it still can't be beaten by humans.

In this live 45-minute conversation we'll:

Redraw our 2026 org charts

See how Andy reshaped his, then map yours in real time. We will decide what to retain, retrain, replace with AI, or sunset. Leave with a v1 org chart, role scorecards, and a 30-60-90 plan.

Rethink our skills gaps

Mark and Andy will lay down the three human skills they're predicting will actually move margins in 2026 - and show you how to build them without adding headcount.

Reboot our teams

Get an inside look at Andy’s AI stack and the shortcuts that have helped him take the Provoke team from AI-curious to experts.
