Theme
- The Theme for this Workshop is "Data Management In Support of the Digital Transformation." This is described as: Data is power, and to stay relevant and competitive, organisations must embrace the inescapable digital transformation urgently, or so it seems. In our industry, significant projects towards that transformation have been initiated in recent years. As they start to yield outcomes, there is a growing realisation that the value of these outcomes depends critically on the reliability of the data used. Data is not the assured asset that it is generally believed to be, and it is Data Management (DM) that defines what can be learned from the data and to what degree of confidence. Hence good Data Management is becoming a strategic element of corporate governance. The elevation of DM evokes many questions… What have we learned? Where should we concentrate our limited resources? How is petroleum data best managed, and by whom? How can data management best support the digital transformation? Conversely, how is the digital transformation impacting established data management practices and how should these evolve? What new skills do data managers and others require to leverage the transformation? And not least, what are the risks? Whether an organisation is data-informed or data-driven, such questions are taking a new prominence and urgency. During this workshop, we will reflect on these challenges and learn from one another through a combination of presentations and interactive discussions.
