The SPE IOGP CEDEP Safety Leadership Academy (SLA) for Oil & Gas sector

Oil and gas professionals co-creating the next generation of industry safety culture.
With our partners SPE Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), and the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP).

The SPE IOGP CEDEP Safety Leadership Academy is a professionally accredited training programme dedicated to the needs of the oil and gas industry. 

We have devised a three-phase approach: 

  • Phase 1 of the programme is an immersive 3-day residential session.
  • Phase 2 is a 3-month duration intersession for participants to apply the learnings in their work environment.
  • Phase 3 is a second immersive 3-day residential session to complete the programme. 

In this in-depth highly interactive programme, participants prepare for the challenges emerging in an industry experiencing significant changes and in a world, that is becoming more and more uncertain and complex. They explore cutting edge leadership concepts and safety management practices to build a new mindset and culture needed in the journey to get to zero accidents.

Main Objectives

Develop leadership capabilities for oil & gas industry leaders to shift paradigms and make zero accidents a reality within their organizations and beyond. 

Based on key SPE, IOGP technical reports, the ERM safety survey and the CEDEP leadership expertise, the programme will address in particular the 5 obstacles to achieving zero harm:

  • Ineffective leadership development
  • Insufficient alignment and application of human factors
  • Misalignment and confusion on the expectation of zero harm
  • Inaccurate identification and management of risk
  • Market pressure
  1.  

Participants will gain:

  • Cutting-edge knowledge to develop leadership skills that will influence behaviours and transform the safety culture of the workplace
  • Practical tools for leaders to convert the mindset shift into clearly defined and efficient actions, with continuous activities and application throughout the learning journey and beyond. 
  • Personal transformation in the ability to lead and build safe performance conditions for your people and your businesses

Learning Journey

Community building is a key feature of the programme and will start prior to Phase 1 residential session. 

In a peer group learning environment, our faculty of thought leaders will facilitate a series of workshops that will include talks, practical activities to use tools and techniques, as well as real-world strategic challenges, a methodology developed at CEDEP. Experiential learning will also lead the participants outside of the classroom and their comfort zone for an immersive experience to increase self-awareness and fundamental change. Your own reality and operational challenges will form the key material for your learning journey.
