Battelle - Creating Science Through Projects

There is always room to improve, even at the cutting edge.

At the forefront of innovation since 1929, Battelle collaborates with OPM Experts LLC to transcend the boundaries of science and technology. Our partnership has catalyzed groundbreaking projects like the Human Genome Project, showcasing unparalleled expertise in life sciences and engineering. By integrating comprehensive assessments from OPM Experts LLC, Battelle enhances its strategic implementation capabilities, ensuring the successful realization of visionary projects. This collaboration not only solidifies Battelle's position as a leader in scientific advancement but also highlights the strategic insight and transformative impact provided by OPM Experts LLC, making it the partner of choice for organizations aiming at historic achievements.

Challenge

Battelle Memorial Institute brings together unmatched experience in life sciences, device engineering, analytics and more to deliver projects that translate today’s discoveries into tomorrow’s must-have inventions. They also manage on behalf of the United States Department of Energy the following national laboratories:

• Brookhaven National Laboratory (through Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC – a collaboration between Battelle and Stony Brook University)

• Idaho National Laboratory (through the Battelle Energy Alliance – a collaboration between Battelle, BWX Technologies, Inc., Washington Group International, Electric Power Research Institute and an alliance of universities)

• Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (through Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC – a collaboration between Battelle, BWX Technologies, Inc., Washington Group International, the University of California, Bechtel National, and The Texas A&M University System)

• National Renewable Energy Laboratory (in partnership with MRIGlobal as part of the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC)

• Oak Ridge National Laboratory (through UT-Battelle, LLC – a collaboration between Battelle and the University of Tennessee)

• Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Additionally, on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security:

• National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center

Battelle is constantly aspiring to meet ever greater scientific challenges on behalf of America. To that end, they hired OPM Experts LLC to assess their ability to implement their strategies through projects.

Solution

We performed an assessment that included stakeholders across the vertical management hierarchy and across functions horizontally. We recommended ways for Battelle to take its capabilities to the next level and developed a plan for them to do so.

Results

As a result of our assessment, executives learned exactly what their capabilities were. Battelle gained confidence in project teams they were proposing to take on unprecedented challenges. They went on to complete a number of historic projects, including the Human Genome Project, ExactID® (investigative genetics exploiting massively parallel sequencing technologies), NEON (the National Ecological Observatory Network), the Contaminated Site Identification and Remediation Project, the BrainGate Neural Interface System (brain-computer interface), and many more.
