Excellence in Management & Operations

Excellence in management & operations is vital to achieving our scientific vision.
Our purpose is simple and clear: to make it easier for our scientists and engineers to
become thought leaders and deliver world-class research for our sponsors and stake-
holders. We strive to simplify the way we work, and to provide our staff members
with the safest workplace, the most modern systems and tools, and the maximum
time and resources to perform research. Our management & operations goals are:
• building greater workforce diversity

• driving innovation with new opportunities for collaboration internally and with
external partners

• becoming a world leader in scientific data management

• leveraging our leadership in data analytics to derive new insights from operational
and performance data streams to drive better decision-making

• improving the way we work by applying the scientific and technological advances we
develop for our sponsors

• modernizing PNNL’s campus

“Our 10-year campus strategy will transform PNNL and provide
a state-of-the-art foundation of facilities, infrastructure, and
instrumentation, allowing us to continue delivering world-class
innovation solutions to our sponsors and the nation.”
