Change Management
Our Focus We focus on Business Results through the three critical building blocks of any DOF technology insertion: "People, Processes, and Technology." Holland & Davis provides the complete package of change services that must accompany a DOF technology insertion.
Our Value Proposition?
We ensure that your business case is achieved, that implementation and business results happen on time, and that the overall spend/budget for the business side of implementation is met.
What's the Opportunity? The Digital Oilfield Formula for Success is known and can be applied to every DOF application. Leveraging rapidly-advancing digital technology promises to revolutionize parts of the work in the oil patch if, and only if, it is successfully implemented!
More and better data, real-time decision-making capability, remote manipulation and "smart assets" portend gains in performance, productivity and profits. Digital Oilfield initiatives are gearing up, but there may be a problem...
What's the Problem?
The Digital Oilfield Formula for Success requires a full suite of Business Success Practices to ensure business results ... on target, on time, and on budget.
The Problem? Frequently those required business practices are weak - or totally missing - from DOF projects! Even the best DOF technology is useless if it isn’t fully utilized on a day-to-day basis by the operational and business sides of the organization.
The unfortunate history of big systems implementations (including DOF) is plagued with a dramatically unbalanced application of time, work and resources … with the technical configuration of the software getting “generally adequate support” while the preparation of the business organization has been “terribly under-worker, under-resourced and late.”

Technical AND Business Successes Holland & Davis (HDI) works with clients to ensure that their Digital Oilfield (DOF) initiatives become both Technical and Business Successes. Holland & Davis specializes in providing the Business Solution Services needed to fully exploit new technology. Technology projects working in relative isolation can't produce the desired results!
What's the Solution? ...the DOF Success Formula
The Solution is driven by the “DOF Success Formula.” We use the term “formula” to signify that there are a concrete set of actions that must be taken, in a particular sequence, without omission, in order to achieve success. How could there be a formula, you ask? After more that three decades of implementing big computer systems, enough research and experimentation has been conducted to precisely identify a success formula.
(Technical Effectiveness) x (Business Readiness) = Business Success
In other words, the DOF technical project/initiative must be surrounded by business success practices that "clear the way," keep managers aligned and committed, and "get the business ready" to exploit the new technical solution. Those Business Success Practices are shown in the diagram and list below.

· Executive Advocacy – Almost everyone knows by now that “executive commitment” is needed for implementation success. While “commitment” is necessary, it is far from “enough.” Holland & Davis has developed and tested tight and precise “prescriptions” for executive behavior, for all “C-level execs (CEO, COO, CFO, CTO, and CIO). Holland & Davis has the senior, credible people who can influence executive behavior, while providing the executive advocacy required for DOF success.
Who is on our
Service Team?
HDI is fortunate to have more than a dozen senior consultants (with more than 20 years business experience) on our consulting team. Their expertise and maturity can bring business results to your DOF initiatives.
What tools and products do we offer? Thanks to a lot of research, experimentation, and the generosity of our clients, we have accumulated a full range of tools and templates for the Business Practice Solutions needed for DOF business success. Our tools are simple and practical, but battle proven. We can customize a tool set for you and even training you to use them.
What do we know about the subject? Apparently the editorial boards of the industry's top journals think we know a lot. More than a dozen of our articles on implementing digital oilfield/technology projects have been published in the past three years.
Who have we worked for? Our first published article about Technical and Business success was published right after our first implementation innovation ... in 1974. We have been providing Business Service Solutions ever since!
What might you do next? Bottom line: Life is too short to have your good technical work thwarted and frustrated by people problems, organizational politics, and inadequate management practices. We can help ease the frustration and move your technical initiatives ahead. Call Mike Campbell at 713.800.3663 for specific information on our services.
