The Upstream business allegedly faces a demographic crisis potentially leading to a crippling skills shortage. Yet little is done to drive up productivity and efficiency in the resources upon whom we all depend. In this presentation, we will examine the current challenges in team working dynamics and then outline our thinking as to how the industry can adopt new approaches that will:
- Build effective team relationships
- Free up employee time for useful work (or play)
- Capture hidden knowledge and information
- Apply consistent, robust and flexible processes
- Use contemporary consumer publishing techniques
