📊It might just be that they're doing their job, or they're pushing back [because] they're seeing risk. So it's about reframing our thinking, understanding people's preferences and where they're coming from, and [thinking about] where we can minimise the differences. 📊Make sure that your leadership team is aligned, has a clear vision of the change, and is committed to the project. You should also have a good communication plan that conveys a consistent and transparent message to stakeholders that educates them about the project. 📊Transparent Communication: Open, honest communication about the need for change, its rationale, and potential benefits is essential. Address concerns and clarify doubts to foster understanding and buy-in.

To be honest with you guys : 1.Listen First: Understand what concerns them—accuracy, cost, or risks—and acknowledge it. - Example: I see why you’re worried about the forecast. Let me explain how we verified this data. 2.Be Clear and Relevant: Share data tied to their goals, avoiding too much technical detail. - Example: This analysis shows how we can reduce downtime by 10% next quarter. 3.Admit Uncertainty: Be honest about data limits but explain mitigation steps. - Example: There’s a margin of error, but we’ve cross-checked with past results to ensure reliability. 4.Use Real Examples: Show how similar data helped in other projects. Example: This approach cut costs by 15% in a nearby field. The key is building trust and aligning👷

To address stakeholder resistance in oil and gas data initiatives, engage early with transparent communication, emphasizing measurable benefits like efficiency and safety. Build trust by addressing data privacy concerns, using pilot projects to demonstrate value, and aligning efforts with sustainability goals. Leverage advanced technologies and implement change management frameworks to foster collaboration and adaptation while tailoring strategies to local contexts and continuously refining based on feedback.

Customize data presentations based on the stakeholder's priorities (e.g., financial outcomes for investors, environmental metrics for regulators). Frame data within a narrative that connects with the stakeholder’s concerns, making technical information relatable and impactful.

I overcome resistance by presenting accurate data clearly and demonstrating how it aligns with stakeholder goals. I remain open to dialogue, address concerns head-on, and show how proper data use drives safer, more efficient operations. Building trust through transparency is key to easing pushback. #stakeholderengagement #datamanagement #trustbuilding #oilandgas #energy #oilandgasrecruiter #accountingrecruiter #accountingandfinancerecruiter
