The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of the Commercial Energy Solutions Energy Services and Programs (ES&P) organization to identify factors that could impact ES&Ps organizational effectiveness. During the course of our evaluation, we identified behaviors that had a positive impact on ES&P. These included relationships with team members and most management. However, we also identified a behavioral risk related to relationships with management in one group. In addition, we identified risks to operations that could hinder ES&P’s effectiveness. These risks were related to interactions with business partners, frequency of program changes, and resource concerns in two groups.
