Industry experience. Shared learning. Stronger readiness practices.
Bringing the capital-project community together to learn what supports successful transitions from construction to operations.
An industry-led view of project readiness

The initiative brings together owners, contractors, engineers, commissioning professionals, operators and project advisers to share practical lessons, successful transition approaches and priorities for stronger readiness practices.
