Energy

There has never been more uncertainty and upheaval in the energy sector, driven by complex geo-political and climate factors. Oil and gas companies are responding to the energy crisis, climate change, and the green energy transition.

The level of investment and change in workforce skills required to switch to green operations is considerable. While current fossil fuel operations remain profitable, and the return on investment in renewables can be decades away, companies may find too little incentive for change – and too much risk.

But geopolitical instability continues to impact global infrastructure and supply, and the graduating workforce is not keen to work with traditional oil and gas companies. A successful strategy for the long-term will require a significant degree of transformation and adaptation.

The utilities side of the sector is facing no lesser a set of challenges, with rising operating costs forcing smaller companies out of the market, increasing regulations, and volatile energy markets. Concern is also growing over the impact of the energy crisis on consumers, including the most vulnerable in society.

Across the industry, companies are having to find new ways to improve operational efficiency, manage risks, and maintain commercial viability. Organisations are undergoing constant change to ensure they can evolve and overcome the challenges they face, including pivoting their workforce and seeking to attract new talent into skillsets and roles that didn’t even exist a mere ten years ago.

With our deep expertise in complex transformation consulting, Berkeley is uniquely positioned to help.
