What's your innovation strategy for 2020?

Are we really innovating?

We are now at a stage where innovation is the core of all business opportunities. The more we step outside routine innovation models and step into more creative and collaborative approaches, that's when the magic happens. The new leaders in innovation will be those who figure out the best way to leverage a network of outsiders and turn those interactions into tangible business models.

The downstream industry is at the cusp of transformation, we need to put our heads together to think; What would the future of downstream oil and gas plants look like? Can demand planning be connected to supplier systems for real-time optimisation? Can we manufacture additive spare parts and efficiently move those spare parts through autonomous vehicles?
