DEVELOPING NICOIL'S HR AND
STRATEGIC PLAN: NICOLA
This "business game" is an integral part of the learning process. Participants, divided into teams, make real-life strategic and HR decisions that commonly confront managers in the international petroleum business today.
Teams have been retained to work with a small U.S. company of exploration specialists, Nicoil, who have made a major oil and gas discovery on a shallow offshore block licensed by the Republic of Nicola, an island republic off the West Coast of Africa. Reports state that two major discoveries were made: an oil reservoir containing an estimated 50 million barrels in-place and a deeper gas discovery containing an estimated 5 TCF in-place. The team assignment is to develop a strategic plan, which includes a comprehensive HR plan.
A consultant has provided the company with a menu of options that it could pursue to maximize the value of its discoveries. It will be up to teams to decide on Nicoil's business strategy and then prepare and implement a Workforce Success Strategy to achieve strategic and business goals.
