1. Choosing the project: •

Intelligence about national and local conditions. Are the project’s assumptions correct? Are there factors that are not taken into account? What factors have affected similar projects in the past, or projects in the same region in the past?

•

Intelligence about the potential participants

•

Promoters. Who are their constituencies? What affiliated interests may be used to support the project, or hinder it? What is their track record?

•

Developers and builders. How are they financed? What are their resources? What is their track record? What additional resources will be required?

•

Users and offtakers

•

Competing parties. Where does your competitive advantage lie? How can you competitively# position your firm?

•

Intelligence about other stakeholders. Who has a stake in the outcome of a project local communities,# local and national political or interest groups, labor unions, other governmental agencies? What position are they likely to take with respect to the project? What influence are they likely to have on the outcome of the project?

!

2. Developing the project •

Integrating the intelligence into the design of the project. What additional parties would help with the development of the project? What stakeholder concerns need to be addressed in the design?

•

Using the intelligence for risk management planning. Given the local factors, the strengths and weaknesses of the promoters and developers, the interests and relative influence of stakeholders, what sort of negative situations might develop? What can be planned and prepared in advance to control those situations before they develop into crises? What can be planned and implemented to deal with a crisis to avoid or minimize damage?

10/11

Agenda

!

3. Executing the project •

Using intelligence to manage personnel. How will the project ensure duty of care for personnel in transit and in hostile environments? How will personnel be screened and vetted?

•

Using intelligence to respond to a crisis. What resources are available to effectively respond to unexpected events? How can a project stay abreast of developing political, social and security situations?

•

Using intelligence to maintain governance. How can the project stay on top of regulatory compliance requirements and international standards? What is necessary to ensure that a project is not complicit with human rights abuses, corruption or social controversy?
