ICxA

If project management were all that was required, projects would not fail. Yet 9 out of 10 projects fail to meet cost, schedule, and scope objectives. There's something else missing. What's missing is the overall authority guiding all project groups to the outcome. What's missing is Outcome Assurance with a strong Outcome Authority to protect the project outcome and ensure this is the primary focus by all groups.

It's time for a new approach to capital project delivery - a systems-approach focused on outcomes, not tasks. The commissioning folks have a systems-mindset ingrained on how they work, and are in the bests position to lead projects to successful outcomes. Learn how the ICxA is transforming project delivery with systems thinking for the built environment.

Safety is the most important part of everything we do when commissioning and starting up new facilities. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Shaun DeVille, world renowned commissioning safety expert, to understand how he balances the pressure of projects with the requirement to keep everyone safe.

Projects are simple when you break them down - a set of expectations at the beginning and an outcome at the end. The problem is that 9 times out of 10, projects fail to meet expectations - outcomes fall short at the end. What's missing is Outcome Assurance that connects the beginning to the end so outcomes meet expectations. Listen for more if you want Outcome Assurance on your projects.

Projects don’t fail at the end - they fail at the beginning. We believe Commissioning-First Leadership is required in projects more than ever. Projects need leaders that prioritize outcomes. This is the Manifesto of Commissioning-First Leadership.

The role of the Project Commissioner is fundamental for project success - right from the start of projects. Listen to learn how to plan your projects for success.

Projects succeed when they are set up with a systems based approach to completion. This doesn’t always happen, and is a unique quality of successful projects where both construction and commissioning groups work collaboratively together to optimize project completions.

It takes more than technical skills to be successful with commissioning. Early upfront planning requires skills in contracts, digitalization, strategy, project management, leadership, planning, standardization, and data management. Listen to learn more about what it takes to be successful with commissioning.

Commissioning success starts at the beginning of projects, when developing your EPC contracts. Without these 8 commissioning clauses included in contracts, it's very difficult to achieve your intended project outcomes. Listen to this episode to help define your EPC contracts.

AI is impacting all industries, and commissioning is no different. The next few years are going to be transformational, and the construction industry is unprepared. See how the landscape is changing and what you need to do to take advantage of the opportunities ahead.
