What is it?
What is it?
A Kill Point is our structured, go/no-go checkpoint where stakeholders pause to assess progress and determine whether to move forward, pivot, or conclude a project. This deliberate moment of reflection ensures alignment with strategic goals, maximizes ROI, and prevents misdirected effort. At Einterz Consulting, Kill Point Meetings are embedded in every engagement and contract. They empower stakeholders with ongoing control and flexibility—so the final product is precisely what they want and need.
What to Expect?
What to Expect?
During a Kill Point meeting you can expect to review overall progress-to-date, status of open deliverables/scope, risks and issues as well as next steps. Our reviews will conclude in one of three ways:
Stakeholder approval to proceed as planned
Stakeholder approval to proceed with specified adjustments
Stakeholder approval to terminate the project within specific criteria
At Einterz Consulting, we know stakeholders make or break every engagement. But without clear roles, leadership reviews can quickly get messy. To keep meetings sharp, decisions focused, and delivery on track, we organize client stakeholders into three distinct groups.
Operators
Operators
Operators are the people doing the hands-on work directly impacted by the engagement. Their input is critical to success, but they are not decision-makers and do not participate in Kill Point meetings. Instead, their perspectives are expected to be gathered, synthesized, and represented by their leadership team.
Operating Committee
Operating Committee
The Operating Committee is typically composed of mid- to senior-level leaders who oversee the day-to-day execution of the engagement. They make in-the-moment decisions about delivery, priorities, and scope adjustments. At Kill Point meetings, this group provides a formal recommendation on the project’s trajectory, which the Steering Committee uses to make final decisions.
Steering Committee
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is made up of senior and executive leaders with authority over the engagement’s direction, scope, and budget. This group has the final say: to approve, adjust, or terminate the engagement. While we aim to keep membership distinct from the Operating Committee, there are instances where individuals may serve on both.
