4yAll entrepreneurs should be be able to "accept failure as part of the learning process" and push on through to try something new. Very easy to say but hard to implement in reality, especially in traditional companies. This mindset change takes time !!
Great insights! Digital Transformation is all about competitive advantage and IT and Application transformation are key to move the needle and disrupt before being disrupted! Really good
Data - Information - Knowledge
6yCraig, some wise learning that other O&G leaders need to digest and put into action. Many fail to disrupt their own business and operations, spending more time on the optics and not the results. Two thumbs up!
