Bryan Guess

Bryan Guess spent over a decade as a commercial building consultant, but along the way he noticed something surprising. The biggest failures he was called in to fix usually weren’t technical problems at all. They were business problems wearing a technical disguise. Unclear decision-making, misaligned stakeholders, and solutions that made sense on paper but not in the real world.

What started in construction turned out to be universal. Bryan saw the same failure patterns show up in software, manufacturing, and complex operational projects of all kinds.

Now, through his firm Bartizan, Bryan helps organizations prevent costly failures, rescue at-risk initiatives, and design processes that actually support business goals. Whether it’s crisis management, risk assessment, or fixing broken execution, his work is about solving the right problem before it’s too late.

If you’ve ever watched a “well-planned” project go sideways, this conversation will feel very familiar.
