A personal note from Clem Bowman: The above "dry" information seems to be a requirement in any factual bio. But my association with some remarkable people over the past 50 years has defined two intersecting career paths, Energy and ProGrid:
Energy

Building on Experiences with Esso, Syncrude, AOSTRA, ARC and CAE, a pathway has been defined to make Canada a Sustainable Environmentally Sound Energy Superpower.

Below are a few short videos which may challenge you to help make this a reality.
ProGrid

An Evaluation Methodology developed by Canadian research managers. The underlying two-dimensional concept arose in the AOSTRA years, and has evolved as an important decision-making management tool that explores the importance of Intangibles.

Below are a few short videos explaining the power and universality of this tool.
