Debate series: ‘Good advice from young minds’
In November, Statoil launched the campaign “Good advice from young minds”, where the company entered into dialogue with young people about the major dilemmas that Norway and the oil and gas industry are facing.
We cannot predict the future, but we know one thing for certain: Statoil does not have all the answers. Listening to those who will help shape the future is therefore crucial to us. Through this campaign we received a lot of good advice and input, and many key topics were highlighted. Several of the topics engaging the youth of today are addressing issues and dilemmas that we as a company are faced with every single day. At the end of the day we all want the same: to help create a better world.
In our meetings with the youths we received a lot of questions: In which direction is Statoil heading? What will Statoil do to adapt to a low-carbon future? What are Statoil’s plans for renewable energy? Which role will innovation play? And what about digitalisation?
Several of these topics will be discussed during this year’s Statoil Future Energy Forum, and one of the participants from “Good advice from young minds” Murshid M. Ali will participate in a dialogue session with Stéphane Garelli, professor at IMD business school, Jannicke Nilsson, executive vice president and chief operating officer (COO) in Statoil ASA and Ragnhild Ulvik, head of the Innovation team of Statoil’s Corporate Strategy & Innovation cluster. Prior to this year’s forum a seminar will be held for students of the University of Stavanger where several of these topics will be discussed.
In the year to come we will have more dialogue sessions with young people, simply because we believe in good advice from young minds.
