Alhamdulillah — we’ve successfully completed our first multi-disciplinary engagement workshop, bringing together Technical Professional SMEs from all key facilities engineering disciplines: process, instrumentation, mechanical, structural, pipeline, technical safety, front-end, cost, and reliability.
The goal? To ideate around a bold question:
How can we collectively reduce Facilities CAPEX by applying the ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) philosophy?
We explored how to embrace higher risk tolerance, strip designs down to the essentials, and holistically assess the impact of these simplifications.
💡 Reflections from the Experience
1. Team Recruitment – Building the All-Star Lineup
As the appointed team lead, one of the most exciting parts was assembling the right mix of SMEs across disciplines. It took time, but in the end, it felt like we had formed a powerhouse team. I couldn’t help but imagine myself as Nick Fury in a post-credit scene — except this was a strategic initiative, not "the Avengers" initiative. 😄
2. Challenging Norms – Redefining Boundaries
The ideation session opened up a world of possibilities. Our experts brought forward bold — even “radical” — proposals. Will they work? We’re not sure yet, but we’re excited to test them out and learn from the outcomes.
3. Small Wins, Big Impact
Some ideas may seem minor in isolation, but when combined across disciplines, they stack up to create significant collective impact. Every contribution counts.
4. Facilitation – Connecting the Dots
Ideas don’t exist in silos. Every engineering proposal affects others — often in unexpected ways. Workshops like this provide a transparent, collaborative space where SMEs can challenge and support each other toward a shared goal.
👏 Kudos to the entire team for a strong start to an exciting journey ahead. Let’s keep the momentum going!
