ICxA’s Second Global Knowledge Roundtable brings together international experts to discuss how commissioning, operational readiness, and artificial intelligence can strengthen project delivery and assure operational outcomes.

Hosted by Paul Turner with global contributors from the UAE, Brazil, New Zealand, and the United States, this episode explores practical ways to build capability, improve readiness, and support outcome-based project delivery.

In this ICxA Global Knowledge Roundtable, Paul Turner and David Tain are joined by international commissioning and assurance leaders to examine a critical project delivery gap: why “ready to start” is not the same as “ready to operate.” The discussion explores startup, transition to operations, operational readiness, commissioning discipline, and the leadership practices required to move major projects safely and confidently from construction completion into sustainable operation.

Activities and deliverables are strong on their own. But activities do not equal progress, and progress does not equal outcomes. The integration between activities is what determines if projects are successful. Listen to this interview with David Tain and Graham Temke to understand the importance of interfaces that decide your commissioning success.
