The challenges of unlocking value and delivering on the promise
The unfortunate truth is the majority of capital projects do not fully unlock the value of opportunities suffering various forms of value erosion. In doing so, they fail to deliver the approved business case or the promise to their boards, shareholders and other stakeholders.
To deliver on the promise requires multiple interdependent elements:
-
Selecting the right development options
-
Designing the right business
-
Delivering the project on budget to schedule
-
Fully commissioning and ramping-up the full value chain
-
Addressing gaps in complementary assets "outside the fence"
-
Managing the government, permitting and ESG challenges through all stages, and
-
Leading inspirationally for the benefit of all
