Powerful Connections episodes

  • 4: Planning Pt. 1
    This is an exposure to the hard stuff in project pre-development. Lloyd Girman is one of the very few people in this world that can do the necessary work to convince people they have a project. He is realistic on the order of magnitude of the effort to get any project to a point where the politics and the economics fit.

    Lloyd focuses on large scale infrastructure. He is part of Enterprise Canada. They focus on bringing the right people together for the right solutions for all. Lloyd works with many Indigenous groups in the infrastructure, energy, mining, and resource areas.

    “A project will not become a project until the politics and economics merge.” Lloyd has many guiding principles that make him effective. He is one of those quiet influencers you likely will not see but know he has been involved because of the success of the project or development. This is going to be a good one.
