Daniel R. Lehman has served as Director of the Office of Project Assessment since June 1991. The majority of Mr. Lehman's 30 years of Federal Service has been served within the Office of Science (formerly Energy Research). Mr. Lehman’s key responsibilities include:
For
the past decade, Mr. Lehman has been recognized
worldwide for the development and implementation of
a long-standing project peer review and evaluation
procedure, which has consistently had a profound
impact on DOE’s large science projects being
delivered on time and on budget. Known as the
“Lehman Review”, this concept has been promoted
by the White House Office of Science and Technology
Policy as a best practice for all Federal agencies.
These reviews are conducted periodically on all
large, SC construction projects and large
experimental equipment under fabrication. In
support of the SC peer review process, Mr. Lehman
established and maintains an extensive and unique
network of world-class scientists, engineers, and
management consultants. Mr. Lehman also works
extensively with the community of SC Federal Project
Directors and Contractor Project Managers to promote
SC project management principles and to facilitate
sharing of best practices and lessons learned. Mr.
Lehman has conducted hundreds of project reviews and
provided project management support for many other
large, SC projects including the Advanced Photon
Source (APS), $800 million; the Relativistic Heavy
Ion Collider (RHIC), $600 million; the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC), $500 million; the Spallation Neutron
Source (SNS), $1.4 billion; the Superconducting
Super Collider (SSC), $11 billion; as well as non-SC
projects, such as the National Ignition Facility
(NIF), $3.4 billion. Mr. Lehman has lectured
extensively on the lessons learned from these
projects and project teams. In
February 1987, Mr. Lehman was chosen as one of the
ten members of the Superconducting Super Collider
Site Selection Task Force, serving as sub-committee
chairperson for two of the seven selection criteria.
In October 2004, Mr. Lehman served as chairperson
for the Global Science Forum International Workshop
on Management Practices for Establishing Large
International Scientific Research Projects. The
workshop was recognized as a first-of-its-kind
gathering of international project management
practitioners to share unique national best
practices. Mr. Lehman
received a 2007 Distinguished Presidential Rank
Award and a 2004 Meritorious Presidential Rank
Award. Mr.
Lehman received his B.S. in Civil Engineering with
honors from the If you would like further information about
