Energy/Oil and Gas
In today’s oil and gas sector, the easy plays are gone. National companies control most of the reserves; the cost of production continues to rise; price volatility is here to stay; and even the big integrators are pushed to consider alternative energy. If all of these factors weren’t enough, the “Great Shift Change”—triggered by Baby Boomer retirement—is teeing up the biggest challenge energy companies have ever faced.
There’s no better place to gain the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this changing environment than SMU Cox Executive Education. For more than 25 years, we’ve given aspiring executives and professionals from the world’s major petroleum-producing regions the tools they need to have an immediate and lasting impact on their companies—and their careers.
We’re offering “Developing a New Generation of Energy Leaders” for the first time in the spring of 2009. This innovative sequence pairs a new Strategic Leadership Skills program with an enhanced Strategic Financial Skills program for added convenience and affordability. Choose just one—or attend both to gain the balanced financial and leadership acumen you need to be a great leader in the energy industry of tomorrow. The sector is counting on an emerging generation of leaders. If you’re part of this new guard, these powerful programs are for you.
SMU Cox Executive Education has now expanded its network and joined forces with American Petroleum Institute (API) to deliver executive education curriculum to petroleum and natural gas industry professionals worldwide.
