Making Projects Viable: Bridging Design, Development and Delivery

"High-performance projects often face challenges translating sustainability ambitions into viable and deliverable outcomes. Cost pressures, project timelines, operational requirements, and fragmented decision-making can create gaps between design intent and implementation reality. This session will explore how developers, owners/operators, technical teams, and financial institutions are working to better align sustainability objectives with project feasibility and delivery considerations. Rather than focusing solely on financing, the discussion will examine how early collaboration, integrated planning, and clearer communication across stakeholders can improve project outcomes and long-term asset performance. Through practical examples and cross-disciplinary perspectives, attendees will gain insight into common implementation barriers and approaches that support more effective coordination across the project lifecycle."
