A leadership perspective from David Frigstad, Chairman & CEO, Frost & Sullivan.

Every leadership team has a strategy. Most have identified the right growth opportunities. Many have invested heavily in technology, AI, innovation, and transformation. Yet nearly 70% of strategic transformations fail to create lasting business value.

Why?

Because the real challenge is no longer strategy, it is implementation.

Oil & Gas (O&G) Industry
Rethinking Growth in the Oil & Gas Industry: Strategic Imperatives for 2026 and Beyond

Growth in the oil and gas industry has long been driven by production expansion, resource access, and operational scale.
