About me
Jim specializes in high-risk operations management, high reliability, and resilience, and is the principal consultant and owner of Jamar Operations, LLC (2015-present). When not consulting, Jim is actively involved with the international communities of practice for H&OP, high reliability, and resilience. Prior to his time as a management consultant, his professional career spanned time with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) (1983-2012) and in the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine service (1974-1983). While employed with the DOE, Jim directed high-risk and multidisciplinary research operations at the Idaho National Laboratory. He also assisted the National Laboratory community with the application of the practices and principles of high reliability, H&OP, and safety culture. Early on, Jim assisted leaders at DOE’s Washington, D.C. headquarters with the development and implementation of technical requirements that spanned the operations, science, and weapons disciplines.
