We help oil and gas companies engineer their organization for success through our unique combination of deep industry knowledge, field-tested approaches, and proven tools and benchmarks.

Turbulence in the oil and gas industry is posing pressing questions for company leaders. How do they improve engineering productivity, manage accelerating change, determine the right size and structure for their organization, and build capabilities for success? Drawing on decades of deep industry knowledge and organizational expertise, we help clients address critical challenges like these. While working to boost their business performance, we also help them build the health of their organization to sustain long-term excellence.

How We Work

To bring clients the best and most innovative thinking, we develop distinctive perspectives on hot topics, such as:

• shaping tomorrow’s oil and gas company, including agile design, digitization, decentralization, and redefining the core
• understanding trends such as benchmarking across capital-project organizations, nonoperated governance, and board and shareholder governance
• executing mergers to maximize the value from integration management
• deploying organizational approaches to remove cost, including above-asset cost
• closing the technical-talent gap through strategic workforce planning, building local talent pools, expert career paths, and capability development

Examples of Our Work

Over the past five years, we have served two-thirds of the world’s top 20 oil and gas companies in more than 280 projects spanning organizational analytics and design, performance transformation, human capital and talent, and merger management.

Supporting an Agile Transformation

Working with a supermajor seeking to modernize its global organization to compete in increasingly volatile energy markets, we helped design a comprehensive transformation, embedding new agile processes that have cut average time to plan a well by more than 30 percent.

Delivering Competitive Advantage

We helped a fast-growing Asian independent oil company to turn project delivery into a sustainable competitive advantage by building a cross-functional organization and culture and capabilities while continuing to execute projects worth $3 billion. All projects were delivered on time and on budget, with $500 million in accrued savings.

Driving a Performance Transformation

For a national oil company suffering from massive under investment after 30 years as a monopoly, we helped retool the organization for success in a deregulated market, leading to a 24 percent rise in upstream oil production, a 4 percent gain in refining yield, a 10 percent uplift in fuel-station sales, and a 10 percent drop in distribution costs.

Featured Capabilities

We Invest Heavily in Developing Proprietary Tools, Databases, and Methods, Including:

• Our International Upstream Production Performance Benchmark includes data from 200 assets globally and provides objective comparisons of a company’s performance across multiple metrics, including production efficiency at an asset level.

• Our How We Help Clients program provides training and coaching to help clients apply best practices for themselves. For senior executives, we offer focused learning and personal development through our Change Leaders Forum, national oil company executive program, Enterprise Agility Forum, and Executive Transitions Master Class.

• Our Upstream Workforce Benchmark helps companies compare their technical and operational headcount against that of peers to inform transformation planning.

• Our Overhead Benchmarking Initiative is based on data from more than 1,000 companies and enables clients to draw comparisons across general and administrative functions.

• Our Oil and Gas Merger Management Tool Kit captures our insights from supporting the industry’s largest mergers over the past 20 years and covers integration boot camps, day-one checklists, draft integration plans, and value-capture opportunities.

Organizational Health Index

Tying Organizational Health to Performance

An organization’s health – how well it aligns around a common direction, adapts to external shifts, executes with excellence, and renews itself to sustainably achieve performance aspirations – is the best predictor of its long-term financial and operational performance. Healthy organizations are 3x more likely to outperform unhealthy ones – across industries.

However, many leaders overlook organizational health because it’s difficult to measure and improve. McKinsey helps clients define their aspirations, assess their current health, and architect and implement advancements to reach their goals. We bring 20+ years of practical and proven expertise, an analytically rigorous approach, and a holistic mindset that have helped more than 2,600 clients improve their health and performance.

Benefits

Our approach to Organizational Health helps drive long-term performance by fundamentally changing and improving how organizations are run:

Time-tested, data-driven approach

McKinsey invented the concept of organizational health and tools to measure it 20 years ago. 2,600 clients and 8M+ survey respondents later, we’re still leading, in part because we continually invest in refreshing our methodology – recently doubling down on elements of leadership, working norms, tech enablement, decision making, DE&I, and more

Deep industry expertise

We bring a deep understanding of your business and industry. Our organizational health experts work side-by-side with industry leaders to take your organization’s specific context into consideration when developing tailored health improvement journeys

Focused on sustainable performance

We help you pull practical levers that fundamentally transform how work gets done, changing mindsets and behaviors and instilling a culture of continuous improvement. This ultimately improves the employee experience, productivity, wellbeing, resilience, retention, and ultimately performance.

OHI Methodology

Determine your overall OHI score

The OHI score is a leading indicator of sustained performance, measuring organizational health relative to our global benchmark.

Tailor your cultural journey

The OHI also illuminates employees’ perceptions and the effects of on-the-ground behaviors on performance and health. This informs the steps your organization must take to reach its health goals.

Focus on sustainable performance

We ensure your organization is set up for long-term success by helping your people build the mindsets, skills, and capabilities they need to sustain all changes made to improve health.

How OHI Works

The Organizational Health Index is a leading indicator of your organization’s ability to achieve sustained improvements in performance. It measures organizational health based on our proprietary organizational health outcomes, management practices, and employee experience themes. It compares your organization to our database of 2,600 clients and 8M survey responses to accurately predict your future performance potential. Remember, companies with top quartile health deliver, on average, 3x greater total shareholder returns over time.

How the OHI is Different

The OHI goes well beyond typical satisfaction, employee experience, or cultural surveys. It measures organizational health at the macro-level, assessing the frequency and effectiveness of your organizational practices. It results in an organizational strategy that outlines the behaviors people at all levels of your organization need to adjust to meet your health and performance objectives. The results will impact your operational and financial performance (e.g., in EBITA, TSR, and revenue growth).

While the OHI is grounded in more than 20 years of research and encompasses 8M+ survey responses from 2,600+ clients, it is continually refreshed – most recently to include more around modern themes such as leadership, working norms, tech enablement, decision making, and DE&I.

Our Approach

Tailored cultural journey

While the OHI diagnostic gains its power from a standardized approach delivered across industries and geographies, the resulting strategy we co-develop with our clients to help them interpret and act upon their results is tailored every time. We work with you to architect and apply a change journey that will help your organization reach its health and performance goals.
