3 EDF Energy We employ nearly 14,000 people We generate around 20-25% of UK s electricity We are the country s largest producer of low carbon electricity We operate eight nuclear power stations plus wind farms, gas, and coal We plan to build four new nuclear reactors: - 2 at Hinkley Point in Somerset - 2 at Sizewell in Suffolk 3

6 NNB Knowledge Management 6

7 Nuclear New Build Projects Complex projects with a focus on nuclear safety! Covering the entire nuclear lifecycle from design, construction, commissioning, operations, and eventually decommissioning Long timescales: Construction + Operations + Decommissioning = Over 100 years of Knowledge to manage and lessons to learn 7

8 Nuclear New Build Opportunity NNB has the unique opportunity to set Knowledge Management behaviours, culture, and standards for the Hinkley Point C project from project inception instead of working to change them, such as on an operational site. 8

9 Nuclear New Build KM Strategy The NNB approach to the development of the KM Strategy can be summarised as: The NNB Knowledge Management Strategy shall utilise existing company arrangements and shall apply an integrated and systematic approach incorporating benchmarking, learning, and international best practices to ensure that knowledge is shared, captured, and stored in a retrievable and accessible format throughout the phases of the project lifecycle. 9

10 NNB KM Pilot Project Lessons Learned 10

11 NNB KM Pilot Project DA Knowledge Hub Engineers need to capture design knowledge and OPEX from the beginning Design Authority resources and infrastructure Examined twitter, google, and wikipedia type functionality Tools for Working Groups, plus Engineering Wiki function and People Pages to supplement existing company processes and procedures 11 Title of Presentation 1 January 2014 EDF Energy plc.

12 Lessons Learned from the DA Knowledge Hub Ultimately, the DA KM Hub was not rolled out for general use across the DA but there were several valuable lessons learned through development and piloting which were captured to support on-going development of the NNB KM Strategy. - Leadership - Corporate level strategy alignment - Development and planning - Communications and soft factors - IT flexibility, customization, ownership 12

13 Final Thoughts 13

14 Final Thoughts on Knowledge Management KM is an extremely diverse subject and there are many facets of the topic that need to be considered together when planning and implementing a KM strategy across an organisation. HPC is positioned to develop strong and sustainable knowledge management processes that can be an example in the industry Work with our stakeholders and supply chain to define knowledge requirements Major safety improvements and cost/time savings if knowledge is captured and codified as it is created 14
