Paul Turner is the founder and president of the Institute of Commissioning and Assurance (ICxA), the global professional association dedicated to transforming how capital projects succeed. Paul’s journey began on large-scale energy and industrial projects where he witnessed the same painful pattern repeat itself: projects would spend years in design and construction, only to miss their deadlines, blow through budgets, and fall short of their promised outcomes. He realized the issue wasn’t effort - it was alignment. Small misaligned decisions, compounded over time, left projects vulnerable to failure. Determined to change this, Paul pioneered the concept of Outcome Assurance™ - a framework that ensures every project decision stays aligned with the outcome from day one. Through ICxA, he has created global standards, certification programs, and a growing movement of leaders committed to accountability, operational readiness, and delivering results that last. Today, Paul writes, speaks, and teaches worldwide about outcome-first leadership, equipping project managers, executives, and governments with practical tools to prevent wasted billions and deliver real value. His passion is not just about finishing projects - it’s about finishing them in a way that truly delivers on the promise made at the start. When he isn’t advancing ICxA’s mission, Paul enjoys hockey, water sports, and family movie nights watching Back to the Future - a reminder that while you can’t rewrite the past, you can lead the future of every project.
