Navigating the Complexities of Construction in the Oil and Gas Industry: My Journey

In the dynamic world of oil and gas, the construction sector is crucial for developing and maintaining both upstream and downstream projects. With over 19 years of experience in domestic and international construction, including significant roles in Malaysia, Vietnam, South Korea, and Iraq, my career has been defined by a blend of technical expertise, strategic management, and adaptive problem-solving.

Belajar Bisnes: Empowering Employees

Memberi kepercayaan kepada pekerja dalam membuat keputusan sendiri dan pantas berkenaan perkhidmatan pelanggan boleh meningkatkan prestasi perniagaan jika dibuat dengan tertib. Dalam erti kata lain: Empowerment.  ------------------------ To become a customer-focused organization, you need to give more power to the employees who know them best—your frontline staff. In our years advising companies on how to do this, my coauthor, Noel Tichy, and I have identified five ways to break down those barriers and unleash the creative talent of your frontline workers. First, change the organizational context. Move from a top-down organization to one that empowers frontline employees. One CEO of a quick-service restaurant initiated a $10 policy, empowering any employee to spend that much to fix a customer problem. Second, get rid of unnecessary work. We use a tool from General Electric asking people to identify unnecessary reports, approvals, meetings, measurements, and policies that g...

Kisah menarik, iktibar buat yang berniaga. ---------- In the world I live in today, I feel very strongly that culture is more powerful than strategy. As we head towards recovery, far too many organizations are obsessed with strategy. But when I say culture, I mean “the way we get things done around here.” A couple weeks ago, I traveled to LA to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. And you know, the best hotels in the world, what they do brilliantly is they make the check-in process just disappear. So I'm coming in with my bags, I'm really tired, and I've got a board rehearsal in two hours. All that was on my mind is, “We're rehearsing in two hours.” Somehow, the doorman takes my bags and probably sees the luggage tag. And before I know it, I get to the desk, and—“Just sign here. Welcome back to [the] Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Mr. Carayol.” Well, it stunned me, because I've never stayed at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. So I said, “I'm very sorry. I've never ...
