Delivering change with the people that matter – your teams

Many oil services companies that once focused on the North Sea are now global. The change has brought unfamiliar challenges, like the need to co-ordinate worldwide operations and deliver a consistent way of working to global clients. Some companies are also striving to integrate acquisitions.

Capgemini’s approach

Capgemini’s approach is collaborative to a level that sometimes surprises our clients.

Front-line consulting

Capgemini’s consultants focus on delivering change with the people that matter – your front-line workers such as engineering teams, vessel dispatchers and rig supply vessel crews. The front-line approach builds employee buy-in from the outset, reducing resistance to change and dramatically improving the sustainability of solutions.

Hothousing

Hothousing is a method used to identify inefficiency in processes, test improvements, measure outcomes and prepare the solutions for mass roll-out, using process improvement techniques related to Lean and SixSigma. It up-skills the workforce to do the work themselves, without the need for a heavy consulting presence.

Capgemini’s practical, innovative methods go straight to the areas where performance improvements might be required. For example:

  • Strategic aims not being met: We work with you to redesign business processes according to best practice, and align them across the supply chain. With a clear business strategy, resources are allocated in line with true business priorities. You can break down barriers between functional and geographic silos.
  • Difficulty meeting service commitments economically : Better operations and project management get service levels back on track. Clarity about your capability to deliver resources and materials ensures you don’t overpromise. Governance and delivery risk management are vital too.
  • Poor staff retention: We help your leaders and senior managers strengthen their leadership and communication skills. Better people management improves retention; knowledge management safeguards projects if key people do leave.
  • Poor visibility of contract portfolio profitability: Dashboard type tools allow monitoring and management of performance against business strategy via KPIs. Performance against asset, process and function level strategies can be measured too.
