Methodology for reorganisation of a business from “Zero Point”
Abstract
In order to respond to changes in oil and gas market demand, technological developments, energy transition, and the Covid-19 pandemic, oil and gas companies are radically changing their strategies and organisation models to increase efficiency and resilience. The paper introduces a new approach recently being applied by companies around the world which is to rebuild an organisation starting from zero (zero-based organisation, ZBO). This approach can make a real difference in business operation and how to work in a simpler and more streamlined, focused, flexible and efficient way, thus increasing companies’ competitiveness and sustainable development.
