A Message from Ted

With over three decades of international experience across six continents in hydrocarbon and mining industries, I'm excited to introduce iAPSCC® — my retirement passion project. This initiative draws from my extensive background in maintenance and project management, where I've witnessed firsthand the critical need for professional recognition in our field.

As an accomplished author on Change Management and global workshop leader in planning, scheduling, and controls for maintenance and turnaround teams, I've seen how proper credentials can transform careers and operations. iAPSCC® builds on these lessons learned, creating a platform for professional growth and recognition that our industry has long needed.

I'm thrilled to guide this organization forward alongside our emerging Editorial Board and regional leaders. Whether you're subscribing for free or becoming a member, your participation helps build a stronger future for our profession. Join me in this transformative journey – because I know you share my passion for elevating our field to new heights!
