Lessons Learned

End-State - Begin with the End in Mind

Focuses key players on future possibilities and can create pull

to completion as progress is demonstrated

Identification of interim or final end-state in the contract provides

clear direction and, more importantly, sets the stage for

innovation

You dont have to know everything to get started

The Rocky Flats end-state vision

Public agreement

on final land use is

critical to optimized

closure

Important

framework for

regulatory process

Safety - Essential to Optimized Performance

Safety and productivity go hand-in-hand

Transitioning from operations to decommissioning can be a platform for improving safety performance

Create a culture to Do it right the first time

Right means safely and compliantly

Promote top-quality supervisors who engage the workforce

Regulators/Stakeholders - Build momentum with trust

Risk in concept and reality is different for every group and

individual both fact-based and emotional

Process must begin with the end in mind

Agencies engaged in consultative process to work together to enable work

Transparency is essential

A vision statement and/or partnering can be a great place

to start

Baseline No baseline is perfect

A solid lifecycle baseline is

critical to both solid

performance and good contracts

At some point, you have to stop

planning and focus on work

Hard to get an organization

focused on doing, when the

executive talent is constantly re-

planning

Freezing the baseline, focuses

key talent on project delivery and

ensures there is no place to hide

performance issues
