About this tool

This is a guide to David Crawford’s Turnaround Measure Tracker.

The tracker is simple — but using it well takes insight. That’s where this guide comes in.

The Turnaround Measure Tracker Guide walks you step-by-step through the five principles David Crawford uses to stabilise troubled projects and deliver under pressure. It shows you how to spot the signs early, cut through noise, and build momentum week by week.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • Clear explanations of each of the five turnaround steps;
  • Real-world examples and practical conversation prompts;
  • Guidance on scoring, interpreting trends, and leading change; and
  • A framework you can apply to any project, at any scale.

It’s a hands-on companion to help you use the tracker with confidence and lead your team out of the fire and into progress.
