ICxA

Projects don’t fail at startup - they fail long before anyone notices. In this episode, Paul Turner, David Tain, and Alan Cajueiro expose the readiness gap no one owns - the space between “complete” and truly operational.

They unpack how ICxA Technical Committees are addressing this challenge head-on, and how to leverage this within your organization.

If completion is your definition of success, this will challenge it.

Have a look inside the work ICxA is doing for the upcoming release of the first set of global standards defining commissioning, operational readiness, and outcome assurance. Learn how your organization can benefit from the implementation of these standards within your project delivery processes to assure project outcomes.

ICxA is embarking on an ambitious roadmap to transform project delivery and completion. Listen to Paul Turner and Heinz Inabnit discuss the ICxA Advisory Council’s strategic next steps to transform the industry.

Paul Turner and David Tain dive into Operational Readiness, the critical bridge between commissioning and long-term project performance. Learn how systems thinking is reshaping project outcomes for the next decade.

ICxA founder Paul Turner talks with Darren Sangster, ICxA Advisory Council member and veteran project commissioning manager, about what today’s leaders must understand to deliver real outcomes.

They explore how commissioning-led leadership and Outcome Assurance™ are reshaping major projects - and why project success starts long before the final phase.

Most capital projects still fail, even when project managers follow PMBOK's guidance. What’s missing? In this episode, we unpack the PMBOK Missing Addendum - a framework that reveals the overlooked governance and commissioning principles behind the 10% of projects that actually succeed.

Operational Readiness is a key pillar of the Outcome Assurance Framework. Operational Readiness is the intended outcome to achieve, and without a structured process to govern outcomes, projects fail. Listen to this presentation by David Tain to learn how to apply Operational Readiness best-practices to your project.

In this episode, we welcome Tony Davies — commissioning leader, author of the Handbook for Commissioning Managers, and newest member of the ICxA Advisory Council. Tony shares stories from his decades of global project experience, explores why commissioning is leadership rather than just “testing at the end,” and explains how outcome assurance can transform project delivery.

Project Outcome Leadership — why successful projects don’t begin with schedules or contracts, but with a clear commitment to outcomes. In this episode, Paul explains how leaders can shift from managing tasks to leading results, and how the ICxA framework provides the blueprint for lasting project success.

For too long, the vital role of project commissioning has been under-recognised, under-supported, under-represented, and under-valued despite holding the keys to the success or failure of the world’s most ambitious infrastructure projects. Become part of the movement to change this.
