What is the Co‑Innovation Partnership and why is it critical for the energy transition?
Hi folks, welcome to the Energy Council Podcast Series. My name is Charlie Abrines and I've taken over from my colleague Benjamin West. Thanks for tuning in. In today's podcast, we're joined by Konsberg Digital, and we will be exploring a coinnovation partnership the Energy Council and Consberg have been conducting over the last few months. The project and its findings aim to understand how coinnovation is driving financial performance in the energy sector. Our research highlights That companies that prioritise collaboration are seeing a 3-4% increase in return on asset compared to those that aren't embracing this approach. Get ready and excited to listen to the rest of the conversation. Hi, Havard. Hi Grant.
Thanks for joining us today on the Energy Council podcast. It's great to have you both here. I'm really excited to dive into the Conspo Digital new initiative, the Co-Innovation Partnership, and explore how it's helping to address the energy trilemma by driving co-innovation across the value chain using digital technologies. Here at the Energy Council, we've been having conversations with industry leaders across. the sector to better understand how co-innovation paired with some of these digital solutions. is helping the future of the energy landscape. Over the last few months we've gathered some key insights through a survey that we've done with our network and I'm looking forward to sharing some of these findings with you both, as well as all of our listeners.
I think one of the really standout takeaways is that sixty nine percent of the leaders that we surveyed believe that collaboration with external partners is crucial. And in fact, eighty three percent of the respondents share that these partnerships with tech providers and operational suppliers are already embedded in their digital strategies. During this conversation, we're going to explore how this is transforming operational performance, as well as the challenges in moving away from legacy systems. We'll also touch on some of the data transformations and cybersecurities as top priorities, and some of the questions around areas like emissions reductions where the impact of digital tech is somewhat slightly less clear.
But before we go into any further detail, um, I'd like you both to sort of give us a little bit of an introduction. Um Havard, why don't you kick things off?
Yes, thank thank you very much, Charlie. Uh very pleased to be here. Uh definitely tackling some of the big topics today. Um my name is uh Howard Austinson. I'm EVP and chief commercial officer uh responsible for sales uh marketing partnerships and alliances that comes for digital. Uh that is uh it's a quite interesting role where I get to interact quite a bit with the market and and get the understanding of where the pain points uh exist, where the industry you know is desiring to go and and where you know digital technology plays a role. Uh I have about 18 years experience uh in industry now, always from the supplier side with with software technology uh management consulting and so on in the energy space.
So I think we've seen, you know, or I have seen over my career, uh sort of a steady uh forward motion towards digitalizing uh business processes uh in industry but I've also observed that we're now uh getting to a point with technology where we can see that if it is if this is applied in the in in the right way, if we can harness some of the power that we now have with with cloud computing, with artificial intelligence, but do it in the right way. we can actually impact performance. So we're I feel very strongly that we're getting to Um, we're getting to to a sort of that point. Um and I'm very excited to to talk about co innovation in that respect because I do very strongly believe and and we see our customers more and more talk about co-innovation in the industry that will propel this forward.
So very pleased to be here today.
Thanks so much for that intro. Um, Grant, over to you.
uh Charlie. So Grant Christie, uh I'm the VP of Business Transformation at Kongsberg.
