The Stage Manager — When Success Is Decided Behind the Scenes
When chaos reigns on the opera stage, no coincidence is needed—instead, a powerful stage manager (the German Inspizient): the invisible yet essential force that holds everything together.
Projects work much the same way. Missed cues, inflated expectations, and communication slip-ups can bring down even the most brilliant production.
“The Stage Manager” serves as a guide for effective turnaround management. A looming catastrophe can be transformed into a successful performance through clear analysis, proven standards, and the right processes.
Success is no product of chance—it results from perfect direction in the background.
The performance is still ongoing, and the next act could change everything. Stay on the ball, because the stage manager still holds the baton in hand!
