The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of the Lagoon Creek Combined Cycle (LCCC) Plant to identify factors that could impact LCCC’s organizational effectiveness. During the course of our evaluation, we identified behaviors that had a positive impact on LCCC including positive relationships between team members and most management. However, we also identified a behavioral risk related to communication with first-line management. In addition, we identified an operational risk related to training that could hinder LCCC’s effectiveness. According to the LCCC manager-integrated combined cycle and combustion turbine site, actions are being taken to address these training concerns.

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.
