Project Momentum Advisory exists to close the gap between strategic intent and operational reality — through training, advisory, and coaching grounded in real delivery experience, not theory.
Project Momentum Advisory is an independent training and advisory practice serving project leaders, PMOs, and executive sponsors across government, energy, and infrastructure sectors. We combine PMI-aligned methodology with two decades of hands-on delivery — so what we teach has already been tested under pressure.
We work at the intersection of capability building and organisational change — helping project leaders develop the judgment to navigate ambiguity, and helping executives build the governance structures that let good judgment scale. Our engagements span certification training, PMO design, project recovery, and executive communication coaching, delivered in-person, virtually, or in blended formats.
Four principles shape every engagement, from a single training program to a multi-month advisory retainer.
Dr. Radhia Benalia founded her advisory practice on a simple but hard-won insight: project failure is rarely a technical problem — it's a governance problem. After two decades working inside some of the world's most complex project environments, advising Fortune 500 companies, international energy operators, government ministries, and public institutions across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, one pattern kept surfacing. The greatest risks don't come from technical complexity. They come from how decisions are made, how oversight is calibrated to uncertainty, and how leaders are equipped to sponsor change.
That observation is the foundation of her practice. She helps organizations move beyond process for its own sake, toward better decision-making at every level of project and program leadership — from the boardroom to the PMO.
Her approach draws on a rare combination of field depth and academic rigor: leading governance and risk transformation on multi-billion-dollar portfolios in the energy sector, paired with a PhD in Strategy, Programme, and Project Management and years spent designing executive curricula at institutions including SKEMA Business School and the American University of Beirut.
Over her career, she has partnered with organizations including Holcim, Dell-EMC, TotalEnergies, ConocoPhillips, BP, Equinor, Ericsson, the British Embassy in Tunis, and United Nations agencies — across sectors, cultures, and continents. She brings that global range, and fluency in three languages, to every engagement.
Dr. Benalia built her practice on the belief that complex projects don't just need better processes — they need better decisions, and the governance, sponsorship, and risk discipline to support them.
