DRIVING EXCELLENCE THROUGH THE SPIRIT OF INNOVATION
IN PETRONAS, we challenge every individual to be innovative within their respective spheres of influence.
As we pursue the search for hydrocarbon resources and ways to deliver value, we continue to be challenged in achieving business efficiency and operational excellence. These efforts require skills and competencies which include ingenuity, creativity and resourcefulness to navigate the tough environments we are thrust into to maintain operational excellence, remain profitable and more importantly, be sustainable.
As such, PETRONAS encourages innovation in core areas of work, and provides many opportunities to inculcate an inventive mindset through various internal and external platforms across the Company. These platforms are primarily PETRONAS’ learning institutions such as Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP), INSTEP Integrated Oil and Gas Training Centre, Malaysian Maritime Academy (ALAM) and PETRONAS Leadership Centre (PLC).
For in-depth core work areas, we leverage on our Upstream Centre of Excellence and state-of-the-art laboratory at PETRONAS Research Sdn Bhd; pioneering Fluid Technology Solutions used by the leading F1 team; our technology partnerships with global leading edge companies such as GE, Schlumberger and Halliburton; PETRONAS’ hands-on bold ventures into deep-water, Enhanced Oil Recovery, High Pressure High Temperature; and unchartered unconventionals such as the first-of-its-kind Floating LNG facilities, shale and coal-seam-gas.
Innovation also transcends other aspects of our business such as in finance and contract solutions (where Risk Service Contracts were introduced as an enhancement from the conventional Production Sharing Contracts; dual and triple Front End Engineering Design (FEED) competitions), integrated business operations and human resource management.
INNOVATIVE TALENT MANAGEMENT
At PETRONAS, we believe in nurturing our talents and stretching their abilities, to create leaders who are competent and ready to take on challenges faced.
The company offers an Employment Value Proposition (EVP) that enables our people to experience the fundamental principles of Trust, Grow and Reward, and they are empowered to motivate their respective teams similarly. The EVP complements our Shared Values of Loyalty, Integrity, Professionalism and Cohesiveness, which are the core tenets of our people.
Our people are developed on their functional capability through an Accelerated Development Programme where the targeted timeframe to reach autonomy is between five to seven years. Benefits from the programme have been proven based on exposure, experience and knowledge gained, and recognised through awards for innovation granted by external bodies.
The Employee Performance Management (EPM) is a key driver that rewards individuals based on performance, which includes innovation, leadership and contributions to people development.
The spirit of innovation has formed part of PETRONAS’ clarion call since its inception and is reflected in the corporate positioning of reimagining energy™ of always pushing boundaries and doing things differently.
