How Digitalization is turbo-charging KPI setting
Turning numbers on a glossy KPI dashboard into profit on your income statement. Digitalization can address many of the issues that have compromised KPI effectiveness in the past. We see a future where KPIs will be smart, backed up with changes in culture and organization to get the most out of the new information, and allowing digital technology to determine the optimum course of action.

In the past, when oil prices were higher, upstream producers were very focused on managing their assets for maximum production volume. However, in the current and forecast business environment, there is a much greater need to manage for value. Maximum value is not always maximum flow; this can sometimes lead to value destruction. So what does managing for value mean for an upstream producer?

Poorly designed and overly simplistic energy performance indicators often drive energy savings at the expense of product yield or quality. However, a well-designed energy management information system can minimize energy cost without impacting production and, in some cases, can even enhance process performance.

In the power industry, the future is meeting the present head on as a wave of digitalization crashes over industrial control systems that are, in many cases, decades old. Operational excellence for these companies increasingly depends on how efficiently their IT interacts with their OT. In large power companies, this kind of inter-departmental alignment is difficult enough. However there are also external factors that make it even harder.
