The 2007 TIMP Round Table

The TIMP Steering Committee established as its focus for planning the 2007 Round Table sessions: “The Challenges of Implementation” of Integrity Management.  In order to establish priorities regarding the topics to be addressed, the committee carried out an on-line survey using the Survey Monkey web-based tool. About 500 people on the SGA Integrity Management Interest Group were asked to respond to the survey. Many of those got together in their companies and submitted a single response for that company. Sixty-five responses were recorded. Read the report of the survey.
