The uniqueness of this program opportunity is difficult to overstate. The effort is a combination of developing a client organization at the same time as establishing programmatic functionality for the program owned by the client. Secondly, the projects within the program are being delivered by wholly separate project partners that require the structure and continuity and funding associated with the program but will have their own methods of delivery. Finally, the premise of the program is to establish an entirely new marketplace with an associated supply chain in hydrogen. The combination of all these unique factors raises the importance of the Reporting Lead role to critical.
