Energizing Midlevel Leaders in Dual Transformation

This case study outlines Equinor's initiative to empower midlevel leaders in the context of its dual transformation strategy. As an international energy company aiming for net zero by 2050, Equinor faces the challenge of optimizing its oil and gas portfolio while expanding into renewable energy. To address this, Equinor partnered with Harvard Business Publishing to create a targeted development program for over 800 midlevel managers and professionals. The program consists of a 10-week learning experience divided into four parts, focusing on innovation, transformation, and value creation. Participants engage in interactive sessions, group challenges, and continuous learning to apply their insights in real business scenarios. The initiative aims to foster a new mindset among leaders, enhancing their decision-making capabilities and understanding of value creation in a low-carbon future. The program's impact is measured through participant feedback and the application of learned concepts in their roles, demonstrating a commitment to Equinor's strategic goals.
