We are already approaching the final quarter of the “year of the lockdown”. While some developments are a cause of optimism and life is at least partly resuming, it is clear that we will remain in a “new normal”. One of the most marked trends is the expansion in working from home and replacing face to face with online meetings. To help with this, the experts from McKinsey & Company are inviting us to a one hour interactive webinar that will help us recognize our energetic and emotional states, address them effectively, and develop habits to increase happiness and resilience for ourselves and our teams.

Through this webinar, attendees will go through the different processes involved in strategic planning including the elements of organizational SWOT, business scenario and options development, elaboration of strategic options and communication to stakeholders.

As a result of the pandemic, many companies globally have moved to remote work as part of their new normal operating model. The webinar will explore the impact on different industries and the associated shifts in the operating model.

This webinar gives an overview of how to steer a course around organisational barriers to engage actively in the political sphere in an ethical and systematic way. It enables managers to develop the mind-set and skill- set of the politically savvy in order to have more impact on issues of importance.

These are unprecedented times, not just because the whole world is working from home, but because of the volatility this has brought to the oil and gas industry. And as much as we can keep saying we are fine, the circumstances are different for everyone, and there are impacts to both our personal and professional lives. But even though some days everything feels a bit hopeless, we are resilient. As individuals, and as an industry.
