The organizational structure, management processes and culture of IO should be project oriented and should include a robust risk-assessment process. • Cost containment policies and measures should be at the core of the structure, processes and culture of IO. Every measure for cost containment shall be taken during the finalisation of the designs, and at the control of the design changes. • Specific management processes should be in place to overcome the challenges derived from the peculiar governance structure of the project as defined by the ITER Agreement. • IO should be a professional organisation focused on project management to complete the construction of the machine. To that end, IO should be able to effectively bring into line the activities implemented by the DAs.
