Strategic Planning and Execution for Developing High Performance Teams in a Shutdown
Workshop Leaders:
Plant shutdowns and outages are considered one of the biggest risks a company faces. The challenges can be daunting, and require a major feat of planning, organization and logistics to achieve success and to get buy-in to all aspects of project execution from every stakeholder. Easy to say but difficult to deliver. Often the biggest challenge is the prevailing mindset of employees involved.
