Oil and Gas
As Oil and Gas technologies push industry expansion and bring new workers into the field, the success of your business depends more than ever on the strength, quality, and capability of leadership at all levels of the operation, especially your front line leaders.
In a recent large-scale global survey of CEOs and senior executives, 76 percent of those responding cited leadership development as important, yet only 7 percent thought their organization was doing this effectively! How is your organization doing?
There's a blizzard of theories, opinions, arcane thesis papers, inspirational quotations, training programs, books, frameworks, and approaches addressing leadership. What's sorely lacking are evidence-based leadership models that work.
Add to this an increasingly demanding regulatory environment along with a generation of seasoned, technical experts who are approaching retirement, and the challenges associated with your operating environment come into sharper focus: How do you do more? How do you ensure more productivity, more engagement, and more retention of your best people.
We know that the best leaders and managers demonstrate the greatest performance, engagement, and retention. And we have known for decades that these skills can be rapidly developed. Yet evidence suggests that, overall, many oil and gas organizations have done little or no long-range succession planning and have provided only limited resources to enhance the skills and performance of their management professionals.
Why don’t management and leadership development programs play a more powerful role in the oil and gas industry? The reasons behind the gap are varied, but the availability of programs that focus on the unique culture of this industry are likely part of the problem.

Management and Leadership Development
An oil and gas drilling company engaged our development team to assess the needs of its Rig Managers, Drillers, and Field Superintendents through a Strategic Training Needs Analysis. This series of interviews, organizational effectiveness data, and a focus group provided evidence based that allowed for a targeted approach to high-priority leadership development. Our drilling company–specific solution focuses on (1) the roles, responsibilities, and leadership competencies of Rig Management, (2) communication skills and the building of engaged teams, and (3) targeted coaching for performance excellence.
Partnering with a major oil company embarking on a strategic operational excellence initiative, our team conducted extensive secondary and primary research, benchmarking other major organizations in the areas of operational excellence, HSE, knowledge management, and learning networks. This 8-week Best Practices analysis was used to guide the development of strategic operational excellence initiatives at the client's organizations.
A leading oil and gas oil field services company found our leadership and HSE needs analysis provided them with the strong evidence needed to position management development as a prudent business investment. As part of this project we created Competency Model based career ladder centric Curriculum Blueprint for multiple leadership levels and positions.
