Value proposition for our client organisations and their people
Safety is the number one priority for all organisations across the energy industry and companies recognise the critical role their operations and maintenance leaders play in creating a systematic, disciplined and a process driven culture across their sites that delivers safety performance and business outcomes. Energy companies recognise the need to build a sense of pride and community across their operations workforce and our programme is intended to engage, develop and empower their operational leaders to be world class operational leaders.

- Learn from leading industry figures, academics and peers from across the industry – Bringing together groups of leaders who learn from one another as they go through a journey together
- Improve through practice – Creating industry best practice ways of operating and giving their leaders the opportunity to put learning’s into practice
- Develop personal performance – Contributing towards the long-term performance of the business and developing their capability
Common challenges we are addressing

Our programmes are designed for those who lead in high hazardous environments from Oil and Gas (Production, Refining, Manufacturing and Transport), Wind, Carbon Capture Storage, Solar and Shipping.
We have bought together the latest industry thinking at three distinct levels of leadership: Front level leaders, Mid level leaders and Senior Operations Leaders.

The programme is focused around bringing leaders togetherat each of these levels to go through a blended journey where they will develop through a range of formal and informal learning formats including self-paced remote learning, connecting via virtual classes, carrying out on the job assignments, reflecting on experiences in peer to peer coaching circles and coming together for workshop events. The programmes run for between 6– 12 months, primarily virtually but the groups will come together for two face to face events during this period.
All programmes are supported by our team of operational coaches and facilitators who bring a unique mix of deep operations, professional development coaching and facilitation experience.
