Business Challenges

As Energy companies evolve, they face different issues related to Learning & Development within their organizations:

• Technical complexity
  As energy projects become more complex (sub salt drilling, coal bed methane, digital oilfields) companies are looking to ensure that the workforce is up to speed on new as well as emerging technologies and techniques.
• Knowledge transfer challenges
  Due to the "crew change" issue, large cohorts of technical experts will be retiring soon. How do organizations manage the transfer of valuable knowledge and norms to the new generation of technicians and their managers? How do younger staff "get up to speed" quickly without the spending long hours in classrooms?
• Geographically dispersed workforce
  As organizations spread their assets across geographies, both large and small companies face the issue of managing cross border learning programs. How can organizations develop and deploy training programs that can be deployed around the world, but yet are targeted to specific local nuances?
