The oil & gas industry has had a volatile ride for the last decade. Oil prices have been fluctuating between $30 and $130/bbl and with Shale oil appearing as a serious competitor and LNG positioning itself more as the transitionary fuel of the future. Of course we never knew what we do not know but it seems to be getting more unclear what the future holds, especially for the oil & gas industry. Uncertainty seems to rule, and turbulence of our business environment seems to be reaching a new tipping point year after year, and the end of common strategic planning is in sight.

2. Masterclass Overview
The oil & Gas industry has had a volatile ride for the last decade. Oil prices have been fluctuating between $30 and
$130/bbl and now with Shale oil appearing as a serious competitor and LNG positioning itself more as the transition fuel
of the future. Of course we never knew what we do not know but it seems to be getting more unclear what the future
holds, especially for the oil & gas industry. Uncertainty seems to rule, and turbulence of our business environment
seems to be reaching a new climax year after year, and the end of common strategic planning is in sight.
The main culprit or accelerator here is technology enabled innovation. Would you have thought that social networking
tools, developed to engage communities, such as Twitter and Facebook would have aided the overthrow of
governments? It has been said before that the Stone Age did not end due to lack of stones. One technology break-
through in battery technology or superconductivity might completely change the energy world and with it the massive
oil & gas industry and infrastructure that now fuel the world economy.
This Master Class is about crafting and executing a resilient technology strategy supported by strategic innovation. The
course introduces the concept of Scenario Planning linked to a long-term Strategic Innovation Strategy. It attempts to
cover important questions such as how to identify relevant innovation domains and how to fill these domains with
projects that allow the company to grow in an uncertain world.
The participants will learn how to make scenarios for oil & gas industry, identify plausible futures for their own company
and design pathways to travel to these futures supported by a robust innovation strategy. The course format will
include lectures interspersed with exercises where the participants make their own long-term scenarios; identify
technology domains to support these scenarios and finish with an implementation plan. Discussions and exercises will
use existing scenarios developed by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Shell and others as examples.
What this course will focus on:
Futures; uncertainty in a complex world
Scenarios; how to make them practical
Strategic Innovation; Planning and executing
What are benefits from attending this Masterclass?
Design and build long term scenarios to explore strategic expectations
To be able to define a long term innovation strategy focused on possible future needs supported by long term
business scenarios

Safeguard enterprise and growth against black swan events
Balance bottom up innovation with top down corporate strategy
Who Should Attend?
Business unit leaders and managers across the energy, oil & gas value chain, planners, strategist, analysist, change
management professionals, information and technology systems professionals, business development professionals,
economists, risk management managers and others involved in driving change and innovation in the organisation.
University level degree preferred. Familiarity with the energy business will be essential.
