<h1>PETER COOK, Senior Technical Advisor</h1>
<p>Mr. Cook specializes in innovative, state-of-the-art systems development
for infrastructure performance analysis and management.� Over the last
30 years, he has managed a range of international and domestic projects
in related fields. His areas of expertise include:</p>
<ul type="square">
<li>Infrastructure performance measurement (water, transportation, energy,
etc.);<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Infrastructure demand, network/systems analysis and economic modeling;
<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Information system and GIS implementation analysis, design and implementation;
<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Cost-benefit analysis; <br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Decision support systems design and implementation; and<br>
<br>
</li>
<li>Project management.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>His background in engineering, planning, systems analysis and information
systems development combined with his project management and team leadership
skills has helped guide several large and complex projects to successful
completion. He has also contributed to the research on performance measurement
for public service provision and trained national-level teams for the
analysis of infrastructure projects in developing countries.</p>
<h1>EDUCATION</h1>
<p>Mr. Cook holds a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, and a Masters in Business Administration from
Harvard University. In addition he was a Fellow in the Special Program
in Urban and Regional Science at MIT and conducted a graduate-level course
at MIT (jointly between the Civil Engineering and Urban Studies and Planning
Departments) in 1987-88.</p>
<h1>PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE</h1>
<p>While working for major international engineering/economics/planning
firms, information technology firms and the World Bank, Mr. Cook has carried
out projects and programs ranging from feasibility studies to regional
and national infrastructure planning studies, to systems analysis and
performance measurement systems, policy analysis and economic sector analyses.
He has worked in both public and private sectors in fifty-two countries
around the world, including Europe, Asia, North and South America and
Africa.</p>
<p>For PM Global Mr. Cook has managed and participated in two large decision-support
projects in the infrastructure field in the Philippines and India. These
projects have developed innovative information systems and databases for
measuring performance and looking at the cost-benefit analysis and GIS-based
user-friendly interfaces. In addition, he was Senior Technical Advisor
on a Regional Transport Corridor Study in South Asia, which evaluated
alternative corridors for trade facilitation and poverty reduction. </p>
<p>Mr. Cook's broad experience in designing and implementing complex performance
assessment and decision support systems is illustrated in the examples
below: </p>
<p><b>METROPOLITAN MANILA PUBLIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT PROJECT.</b> Mr.
Cook was project manager of a team that was organized to design and implement
a system to measure the performance of the privatized water companies
under the MWSS Regulatory office. In addition to developing a state-of-the-art
performance system, database and GIS-based data viewer, the project designed
and tested a public participation program and benchmarking system. This
was a combined research and implementation project funded by the World
Bank. Mr. Cook also managed an important technology transfer component
jointly with the University of Philippines National Engineering Center.</p>
<p><b>INDIA RAILWAYS LONG-RANGE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM PROJECT.</b> As
project manager of a team composed of several companies and consultants,
Mr. Cook helped to design and implement the first decision-support system
implemented by Indian Railways, which combined modeling of the rail system
on two levels, cost-benefit analysis, performance measurement and capacity
planning. This has given the IR the ability to plan for cost-effective
investments that respond to future demands on the railway system. This
resulted in a state-of-the-art, GIS-based system linked to a series of
analysis models that have increased the ability of the Railway Board to
carry out their functions and to present major conclusions in convincing
form to other government bodies. Mr. Cook also developed a similar system
for China Railways.</p>
<p><b>CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.</b> Working for the California
Department of Transportation (Caltrans),� Mr. Cook was project manager
of a team responsible for developing the first comprehensive Intermodal
Transportation Management System (ITMS) that will meet the performance
measurement requirements of Federal legislation. The team was entirely
responsible for the ITMS�s GIS framework and interface, as well as much
of its innovative intermodal planning and performance measurement functionality.</p>
<p>Mr. Cook has also carried out a number of small, medium and large projects
in the international sphere. These included national transportation studies,
regional transportation corridor studies, river basin development and
environmental analysis, information systems design and implementation
projects. Between 1988 and 1992, Mr. Cook worked for the World Bank as
a long-term consultant and participated in research projects on the evaluation
of performance measurement for infrastructure services, as well as project
appraisal teams in China, India and Southern Africa.</p>
