Focus Areas – The little things

We believe success is built from attention to what matters and failure can arise from many directions. Sometimes the ‘little’ things are the difference. We believe these focus areas can be keys to success.

Risks and Constraints

Once goals are clear, understanding and managing project risks and constraints are key to success.

Stakeholders

Success can be measured by the quality of stakeholder satisfaction. Whether corporate, technical, regulatory, investor, political, legal, public, or staff – understanding and addressing stakeholder needs is a key to success.

Critical Points

Success can often hinge on a few critical pints in a project, be them company, regulatory, or scientific of business unknowns. Understanding, prioritizing, monitoring, and responding to those points can help ensure to success.

Decision Intelligence

Information and decisions are given shape by how we interpret data. Even with well understood and quality data, bias and assumptions, even when experientially based, can adversely affect how the business context is interpreted and the quality of subsequent decisions.

Data Intelligence

Understanding your data – where it comes from, its measurement, what it tells you, what it cannot tell you – is critical to effective decision making. If data is poorly understood or misused, decisions are marred.

Sound Science

Environmental and waste projects in particular but many projects are built from an assumed understanding of underlying scientific conditions and principles. It is essential that the knowns, unknowns and assumptions are understood, tracked, and responded to.

Understand Roles - Connect to People

Stakeholder perspectives can differ from what’s expected, especially when from another culture or country. Understand roles but connect to people. Speak to & work with people not roles.

Leadership

Often mentioned. Less often delivered. We believe it is simple. Be the cohesion. Clear vision, people focused, clear and effective processes, and supported team.

More importantly, we understand the science and standards that underlie these issues. Our expertise, however, includes not just the domain of environmental issues but also the science of data and data systems. Our services include:

  • Forensics quality environmental sampling and analysis
  • Evaluation of opposition field and acquisition methods, data quality, limitations, and mis use

Whether for litigation or businesses purpose, researching and acquiring data is a critical and costly step. If not approached with discipline, the quality of the data and the resulting decisions and interpretations can be compromised. Enpros provides turnkey data packages that are:

  • Specific and customized to your interests and your needs
  • Faster paths to your analysis, insights, and decisions
  • Less prone to misinterpretation or misuse
  • Known as to their limitations and gaps
  • Organized and formatted
  • Cost effective, timely, convenient
  • Mined for insights

We maintain E&P data systems that are up to date and comprehensive but we also provide data for science and business purposes. We provide reliable data packages related to:

Poor data is often assumed to be accurate, applicable, and even complete and is then used for legal and business interpretations and decisions. In practice, when data is acquired that appears to serve an intended purpose, little if any effort is made to understand the data, where it comes from, and whether it suits the intended application. Unfortunately, inaccuracies often go unnoticed and the credibility and value of insights and decisions on which the data is based are compromised.

Enpros understands data and provide services to assess data quality, it’s fit for the intended purpose, and its limitations and potential for misuse. In summary, we provide services to:

  • Investigate and interpret the source of submitted data including (1) original measurement systems and locations and (2) data system and structures used to store and present data
  • Interpret the quality and limitations of the data
  • Understand what data is telling you and what it cannot
  • Identify areas where misinterpretation arises

For more information, request our Litigation Data Assessments Brief

Litigation often focusses on what is required, what is expected, and the way in which these were met or not met. There are challenges fully assessing these questions, however:

  • Regulation implementations often require agency interpretations and policies that change or are unwritten and that are not immediately obvious when reading a rule
  • Common knowledge and practices can be gross simplifications or completely wrong
  • Regulations can ‘adopt by reference’ technical documents, regulatory interpretations, or guidance documents that go unassimilated
  • The historical context of terms, issues, and decisions underlying a regulation are not taken into consideration
  • Nuances of key data and/or prescriptive methods in regulations can be overlooked
  • Industry standards are only known through experience

Enpros provides compliance and standards reports to help fully scope a regulatory topic, including:

  • Prescriptive requirements from regulations
  • Agency interpretations and policies that amplify requirements and methods
  • Adopted by reference’ requirements
  • Historical interpretations such as federal registrar, rule reports, etc.
  • Industry standards via clients, guidance documents, ASTMs, etc.

The quality of (i) field methods for acquisition, (ii) laboratory methods for interpretation, and (iii) data methods for organization, interpretation, and presentation greatly affect whether data is usable, defensible, and/or reliable. Enpros prepares methodology reports for a wide range of environmental and data topics so you know whether your or opposing methods are defensible or at risk.
