Topic: Resilience and sustainability in the Energy Industry.

Abstract:

With the world changing following the COVID storm and rapid adaption of many industries it’s imperative to address the viability of existing systems, processes and their effectiveness. Doing our best is not enough as we need to judge our performance by outcomes and results. Linking all of this to resilience and sustainability is key. This presentation will address the challenges we are presently facing around the word, beyond safety. It’s not about surviving or existing but excelling.

Ayssar will touch on:

  • Concept of resilience and sustainability in the oil & gas industry
  • Relationship between resilience and safety
  • Resilience - internal and external complexities and changes

We need to have systems more adaptive to environmental changes and less susceptible to internal failures. From a leadership perspective, we look for Determination, Motivation and Willpower. From a management perspective we need to plan and design for interventions that facilitate the emergence of resilience.
