Organizational Effectiveness – Shawnee Fossil Plant

The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of Shawnee Fossil Plant (SHF) to identify operational and cultural strengths and areas for improvement that could impact SHF’s organizational effectiveness. Our report identified strengths that positively affected the day-to-day activities of SHF personnel. These strengths related to (1) organizational alignment, (2) teamwork within working groups and with other SHF departments, (3) effective leadership, (4) positive ethical culture, and (5) resources necessary for job execution. However, we also identified a risk related to inadequate asset maintenance activities that could impact SHF’s effectiveness and its continued ability to meet its responsibilities in support of Power Operations’ mission.
