Most recent engagement include:

• Capital Project, e.g, Reassessing conventional wisdom around energy and mineral capital projects planning and operational execution (onshore, offshore, and marginal fields), as we move into new frontiers with increasing project complexities, e.g.: ultra deepwater, heavy oil and tight oil & gas.
• Corporate/BU Strategies, e.g. Devising the next best project portfolio shape and why; and how best to sustain improved competitive growth over the near- and longer-term horizons.
• Growth Strategy, e.g. Formulating attractive adjacency strategies to help fuel non-/organic growths in downstream energy. What opportunities do I have to get more out of my existing business model trough better allocation of resources (project financing, human capital, operating investments) in energy and mineral industry.
• M&A Strategy, e.g., Implementing strategies for redeployment of excess cash to generate value-accretive through M&A Lifecycle.
• Offshore Technology, e.g., Leveraging new models of collaboration, idea sourcing, and idea generation to drive innovation and offshore technology commercialization in energy and minerals markets, particularly in the shallow water and marginal fields.
• Organization, e.g., Reengineering and developing a scalable organization that will enable the successful delivery of new growth platforms, while at the same time, preserving the strengths of the current culture.
• Operational Excellence, e.g., Building and deploying an operations excellence philosophy, operating model and supporting corporate culture. Understanding what investments (lines of business, downstream energy products, fixed assets, etc.) aren’t contributing value to the enterprise and why.
• Emerging Energy Market Economics & Competitive Environment, e.g. Determining the potentially disruptive or new sources of energy over the next several decades, and the implications to corporate strategic direction and value.
