It is well known that adults learn best when discussing issues or solving problems that are directly related to their daily job. The business workshop for this program was developed by IHRDC to allow participants from diverse functional and cultural backgrounds to learn about the business of the petroleum industry in the most effective, long-lasting and realistic way. It introduces the participant to the integrated
petroleum industry from exploration to refining and transportation;
from investment analysis and financing to income statements, balance
sheets and cash flow; and from strategic planning and leadership
to environmental analysis and continuous learning. |
 |
| The setting for the workshop is the Republic of Sandland, a fictitious country on the West Coast of Africa. The business game occurs during the first two weeks of the program, but additional, stimulating workshop sessions continue over the final two weeks. For this reason, participants are encouraged to enroll for the full program. This workshop always stimulates and challenges the participants, because it is designed around the highest form of learning: that which occurs when practical, realistic problems are solved through team discussion and shared insight.
