About

Undertaking any nuclear project is daunting. The integration of safety, stakeholder concerns, long-term schedules, billion dollar budgets and significant uncertainties is endemic to such work. Safety must come first and all other things must be secondary.

Defining “success” is strategically the most significant outcome. Often the pressures of the moment detract from clearly understanding what must be accomplished. Identifying the major risk and opportunity events, then having a strategy to either mitigate bad outcomes or to exploit good outcomes – these are essential elements of strategic planning and analysis.

I’ve been privileged to work in over 45 countries so far, supporting governments and major corporations in undertaking very long-term initiatives. The nuclear aspect of the work adds challenges and rewards.
