Our work / Leadership development programmes
Safety Leadership Academy (SLA) for Oil & Gas sector
Oil and gas professionals co-creating the next generation of industry safety culture.
With our learning partner SPE Society of Petroleum Engineers
The SPE CEDEP Safety Leadership Academy, endorsed by the IOGP (The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers), 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 4-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 4-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 in oil & gas industry leaders to shift paradigms and make zero accidents a reality within their organizations and beyond, for the good of society. Based on key SPE, IOGP and ERM reports, the programme will address in particular, the 5 obstacles to achieving zero harm, identified in the SPE Getting to Zero Technical Report:
- 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
Participants will gain:
- Knowledge with cutting-edge concepts to develop 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. Activities will be organized all along the learner’s journey to practice the skills and tools explored during the program.
- 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, case studies and group challenges. 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.
