Asia Pacific Region: Resolving Disputes Digitally (ODR Pilot Program), The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)
The Resolving Disputes Digitally project aimed to improve access to justice for Victorians with a small civil claim, focusing on supporting the most disadvantaged and vulnerable citizens in the community. By introducing an innovative hybrid management approach utilizing agile at scale, waterfall practices, human centered design, and lean six sigma, the project was able to keep diverse stakeholders involved and informed. The project demonstrated how effective project management practices can make a tangible difference to citizens by providing modern, digested, online digital resolution (ODR) services to address the needs of the community, and particularly remote communities. This project set the model for ODR design and delivery in the state of Victoria with lessons being leveraged in Australia and globally, to significantly expand access to justice for all people.
Europe, Middle East, Africa Region: The Launch of the NEW Distribution Center for NEUCA in Torún, NEUCA Group (Torún, Poland)
The most important part of this project was the coordination of many parallel tasks. The challenge was to combine construction, logistic and regulatory processes and obtain the necessary approvals. It requires the personal involvement of a person who does this and binds these processes. This is also a challenge for the project manager, who has to learn during the project many different very specialized fields from knowledge related to environmental protection to pharmaceutical law related to the marketing of medicinal products.
North America Region: Remote-Handled Low-Level Waste Disposal Project, Idaho National Laboratory (Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA)
Completion of the $77.6 million Remote-Handled Low-Level Waste (RHLLW) Disposal Project represents the successful accomplishment of a decade long effort to provide permanent, environmentally responsible RHLLW disposal capability at the Idaho National Laboratory site. The completed facility is essential to the continuing mission activities of the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy and DOE-Naval Reactors, underpinning development of carbon-free nuclear technologies and national defense. Without continued RHLLW disposal capability, critical mission activities would be significantly hindered.
