During this trip I visited a massive utility-scale solar project that our company was building in the middle of the Australian Outback. During this period, I learned that there are nearly one billion people in this world that don’t have access to electricity. There are better ways to power the world in a clean, sustainable manner. We must protect this precious earth that we have so that future generations can share the same benefits (or better) than those that we are privileged to experience. I also learned about throughput and how great project management and organization can lead to massive productivity improvements, optimization, and value creation. For example, with this particular project if we saved just one minute per solar panel installation, we would save 16,500 labor hours! Therefore, whether building a project or managing our lives, every minute counts and we should look for the most effective ways to do things to drive greater value.
