Joseph Paris Jr. a renowned expert on Operational Excellence and Founder of the Operational Excellence Society, said: “People talk about ‘Operational Excellence’, but what does it really mean? The definition of Operational Excellence and how it can be used for the region’s oil, gas and petrochemical companies to drive their business performance will be addressed at the Operational Excellence Conference Middle East.”
Founded in November of 2011, the Operational Excellence Society is dedicated to those professionals devoted to the continuous and deliberate improvement of company performance and the circumstances of those who work there – to pursue ‘Operational Excellence by Design’ and not by coincidence. The group now has some 20,000 members and the mission of the Operational Excellence Society is to take the story from ‘Cyberspace’ and make it ‘Face-to-Face’ to ‘Make it Real’. To create an actual place where like-minded individuals can connect, learn, and network.
Hannah Capstick, Conference Director, The Energy Exchange, said: “Key presentations from leaders in Operational Excellence for the energy sector such as Shell and the contribution from our partners and sponsors including Operational Excellence Society, Takreer, ADMA and Honeywell are certain to add tremendous value for our regional and international delegates eager to learn more about how to improve operational efficiency to drive profits and increase margins.”
Additionally, the conference will feature experts from companies at the forefront of operational excellence such as Shell, Gasco, Statoil and Maersk Oil.
Bjarte Bogsnes, Vice President Performance Management Development, CFO PMR, Statoil, stated: “Traditional management struggles in today’s knowledge organisations operating in dynamic and unpredictable business environments. Beyond Budgeting is a proven and coherent management model for these new business realities”
