Quick Facts

  • Leadership became more active however did not embrace the organisational learning culture & values
  • Client & contractor relations improved temporarily but reverted back over time (passive/aggressive routines unbroken)
  • An asset & rig wide culture seeking continuous improvement was not consistently demonstrated
  • The client did not sustain CI practice – high apathy now reported in terms of seeking effectiveness and efficiency
