Brick by Brick, and Stick by Stick
What I am finding is that there are not a lot of people in oil and gas that are using Twitter. That is both a good thing and a bad thing. I assume they are using Facebook as their social network and the majority of that use would be for personal reasons. For us to use Facebook would therefore interfere with the personal nature of that medium and by using Twitter we are establishing a purpose built network for the user communities needs. Therefore your first step should be to set up a Twitter account and Follow @piobiz as the beginning of this user communities development. Then we can have a means in which we can communicate with other members of the user community and the beginnings of the collaborations can begin. Don't expect too much at first, this is just the beginning, and we have a lot of work ahead.
Our objective is to establish the capabilities necessary to provide the oil and gas producers with the means of organization for the oil and gas industry. If the bureaucracy was to fail completely in the near future. Or if they just decided they had had enough and quit. Not something to take lightly, that has happened before. Then our capabilities would be something that the industry could turn too to provide a solution the industry found itself in. And in turn would find a group of like minded people committed to providing the oil and gas producer with the most profitable means of oil and gas operations. Complete with a technological base in Oracle, and a product vision in the Preliminary Specification. This is what I think it will take in order to make the change away from the current muddling along strategy and the mindless, self-centered bureaucracy.
The need for change in the oil and gas industry has been evident for many years. And it hasn't happened. Low natural gas prices are not even seen as an issue by the bureaucracy. They certainly have no plans to deal with any of the problems that the industry is facing. And technology is used in its most basic and elementary way. I have been an outcast for over ten years now since I published the idea of using the Joint Operating Committee as the key organizational construct of the innovative producer. Plenty of time for industry to have acted positively. But they never will as it eliminates the bureaucracy as its key side effect. That and we use the Internet which also reduces the demand for the bureaucracy. Two good reasons that the bureaucrats will never fund these developments. They will either fail, as a result of their inability to deal with the speed and complexity of the business, or they will quit through attrition, retirement or greener pastures. They are more dangerous than useful at this point in time.
And that is why we need to organize ourselves now. To ensure that the industry will be able to continue to function. This all sounds quite surreal and probably a bit on the crazy side of the scale. I however would prefer we had a solution available for the marketplace to pick up when the bureaucracy does decide to take that permanent vacation.
The Preliminary Specification provides the oil and gas producer with the most profitable means of oil and gas operations. People, Ideas & Objects Revenue Model specifies the means in which investors can participate in these user defined software developments. Users are welcome to join me here.
