California High Speed Rail

Owner: California High Speed Rail

Facilitator: Cinda Bond

Budget: $8B

Project Description

The high-speed rail system planned for California will eventually encompass more than 800 miles of rail with up to 24 stations. By 2029, the high-speed rail will run from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin in under three hours at speeds of more than 200 miles per hour. The complex $8 billion program will run through areas of the state with extremely different geographical, environmental, and economic issues, and includes the following 10 separate sections:

• San Francisco to San Jose
• San Jose to Merced
• Merced to Sacramento
• Merced to Fresno
• Fresno to Bakersfield
• Bakersfield to Palmdale
• Palmdale to Burbank
• Burbank to Los Angeles
• Los Angeles to Anaheim
• Los Angeles to San Diego

OrgMetrics is developing a tailored, executive leadership program that began with one-on-one interviews, a two-day kick-off workshop, and 2-hour bi-weekly sessions. Initial partnering participants include the California High-Speed Rail Authority and the program management team. Focused on team integration and performance, their goals include helping the organization drive decisions, priorities, and process improvements that support the implementation of the integrated organization, and to co-create solutions that lead to a high-performing team and organization.
