Choose the right perspective
Match the person's asset type and project scale to your decision, since a plant expansion, a pipeline program and a new power generation project carry different risks. For portfolio governance questions, favor someone whose role covered a whole site or region, and for delivery of one large project, favor someone who directed major projects.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you decide which capital projects get funded, and what gates does a project pass before full approval?
- 02What owner-side controls do you put on contractors to keep a large project on schedule and within budget?
- 03When a capital project starts to slip, what are the first signals you look for and how do you respond?

You pay nothing. Instant Expert sends follow-up reminders, and if the person hasn't booked or answered within 7 days, the request expires and any hold on your card is released.
