​What you need to know: Is digitisation in Energy really a coming ‘thing’ or is it simply another overhyped trend?  Will it make your life easier, increase the profits of your firm and speed up decision making?  Or is it a simple route to job cuts and automation?

Who is going to tell you: London Business School hosted four industry specialists to help us understand this development that promises (or threatens) to revolutionise our industry.  We structured this event in a classic ‘helicopter’ fashion, going big picture to detailed. Participants included:

​

Julian Birkinshaw, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School will introduce some trends in industrial digitisation

​

Adrian Del Maestro, Director of Global Research with Strategy& will discuss how digitisation is changing energy

​

Francisco Ortigosa, Director Geoscience Technology at Repsol will talk about digitisation in upstream

​

Arno van den Haak, Head WorldWide Business Dev. Oil & Gas at Amazon Web Services will provide specific examples of the challenges and opportunities for digitisation in oil and gas 

​

The event focused on helping members of the Alumni Energy Club of London Business School understand the impact of digitisation on oil and gas. We hope that this event was interesting to anyone that wants to understand the opportunities and threats this fast evolving phenomenon could, and will, have on their careers.
