Organizational Effectiveness – Lagoon Creek Combustion Turbine Plant

Report Information

Date Issued
Report Number
2021-17257
Report Type
Inspection / Evaluation
Description
The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of the Lagoon Creek Combustion Turbine (LCCT) Plant to identify factors that could impact LCCT’s organizational effectiveness. During the course of our evaluation, we identified behaviors that had a positive impact on LCCT; however, we also identified some behavioral risks associated with team conflicts. In addition, we identified risks to operations that, if unaddressed, could hinder LCCT’s effectiveness. These were related to (1) perceptions of not having parts needed to perform job responsibilities and a lack of money for projects or equipment repairs and (2) training.
