Digitalize to decarbonize: the digital journey to Net-Zero What new skills does the digital transformation require and what training programs are in place to develop these skills?

Julie Cranga (JC): I would put the emphasis on mindset rather than new skills. Obviously, we need technical skills for what we do, but it is equally important to develop adaptability and encourage greater collaboration, both internally and externally with partners. We also want to foster passion for continuous learning because both the Energy Transition and digital transformation are still relatively new trends and are evolving very fast. We are putting a lot of effort to transform Technip Energies into a data driven company, so with the support of the ExCom, we have launched a data acceleration plan to promote a data culture and implement best practices in term of data management. We are developing data awareness programs which will be available to all, as well as an advanced training program to build an internal pool of data science talents and foster a community of data specialists who share their knowledge across different business disciplines. Upskilling our organization also involves some external hiring, to bring in new expertise. We are looking to have a good balance of seniority and experience to encourage peer to peer coaching and apply digital skills, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to transform the way we work.

To promote a fit-for-purpose digital organization, Technip Energies has created a Digital Services Factory and a Data Office. Can you explain how they work?

JC: We need to consider the value that digital transformation can bring to the business, and this involves three approaches. The first approach is to create new business. The role of the Digital Services Factory is to develop a new offering of digital services to address client challenges such as making carbon conscious choices at the design phase, monitoring plant performance or training operators. This team is spread globally, agile, close to the business, and masters new technologies such as cloud computing, data sciences and IoT (Internet of Things); they are dedicated to address client pain points with innovative digital solutions.

The second approach is to support all parts of the business in their data-driven transformation. The role of the Data Office is to put in place a global data governance, promote a data culture and partner with the business to identify areas where we can create more value with our data and deliver data projects with all stakeholders. This includes, for example, leveraging the huge amount of past-project data to better and faster estimate the cost of future projects. There are many ways in which we can leverage data to create value for

Julie Cranga, Vice President Digital, explains our approach to develop an agile mindset, to encourage a collaborative spirit and foster passion for continuous learning.
