2. Benefit from a return on
investment in training
Management education is an investment for both the
individual and the employer. By fully understanding
what they need, our goal is to ensure that both see a
return from the investment in time and money in our
courses. The business will see improved performance
and effective use of resources; the individual will
benefit from enhanced career prospects and personal
development.
Our Approach
The firm was set up in 2012 by Angus Warren, an
industry veteran whose career includes 15 years at BP,
expanding in 2014 with additional directors bringing
a wealth of experience and expertise to clients.
We are based in the UK, but run courses worldwide,
particularly in emerging markets. Hundreds of
executives and managers have been on our courses –
many now being in senior positions in NOCs,
Ministries and IOCs.
We know that every firm has different needs; and each
individual has different ways of learning. Therefore we
take time to understand what those different
requirements are, and customize our courses as much
as possible. And during the programme itself, we
believe it is important delegates learn from each
other, so our courses are highly interactive.
INTRODUCTION
Success in the international energy business depends on a thorough understanding of the
industry’s complexities. Technical expertise is not enough; it is essential to fully
understand the geopolitics, the technology, the finance, and the many different
stakeholders as well as knowing how to get the best out of a team.
At Warren Business Consulting we deliver Energy courses all over the world, helping
NOCs and IOCs develop local talent. Here is a brief introduction to what we offer.
What clients say about
our courses:
“It will definitely have a huge impact
on my work. I will be much more
confident in my understanding of the
business.”
“This course has drastically sharpened
my knowledge and skills for enhanced
performance of my job tasks.”
“Given me a ‘helicopter view’ on oil
and gas industry. Will help my work,
career and personal life decisions.”
“Major impact. Real life applications
for our research, interviews, book
content and even how we manage our
company.”
“It has provided an excellent ‘all-
round’ understanding of the industry
and more in depth knowledge of work
specific issues.”
“Hands down, the “3 Day MBA in Oil
& Gas” is the quickest, most effective
way to understand the E&P business
model. I wish I had taken this course
at the beginning of my career.”
