Learning & Improvement

Houston Forum November 2017

Andre Dingee ADE Group

Learning and Improvement was covered first, and Andrew chose to speak a lot about human behavior in this regard. Several case studies were presented both on how humans retain information and what is the most effective way of communicating (the debrief). He made comparisons to how aviation 30 years ago was in close to the same spot that O&G is now when it comes to effectively transferring intraorganizational learnings. The O&G current state is really built upon building knowledge of individuals through experience, but even when that experience is shared, often times it’s in an impersonal manner to which others cannot relate. Two challenges I took away here were to make our learnings personal and relatable, and to better standardize how learnings are incorporated into standard work.
