innovation. For that reason they are deeply concerned by the shortage of technical and engineering
skills observed in many countries, and it is the
justification for the various types of cooperation
initiated with universities and engineering schools
in order to fight scarcity of highly needed human
resources. However, the natural supremacy of an
«engineering culture» within energy companies
may also be a source of inefficiency; the propensity to rely on numbers fitting in models describing
the state of the world may not fit so well when
ambiguity dominates and when the future is, for
the most part, unpredictable.
... but management skills also count!
High cost overruns and delays in project implementation; the increase in the frequency of accidents; inefficient post-merger management; and
the spectacular failure of hazardous ventures are
common in the energy industry, and all signs of
weaknesses in the management system. The preeminence of technological issues should not put
out of sight the managerial challenges in a capital
intensive industry where long term complex and

risky projects are the norm. Ignoring this truth may
prove very costly.
Three main managerial challenges should be
considered:
- The need to shape the organisation to cope with
a high level of uncertainty and change. Adopting
a comprehensive view of the activity, avoiding silos, and enhancing internal communication and
cooperation are key.
- The need to develop an efficient risk management system, not just to comply with HSE regulations but rather with the ambition to enhance
risk awareness and assure that behaviours are
responsible and in line with the policy.
- The need to reflect on outsourcing strategies
and improve supply chain management.
As a leading European business school, ESCP
Europe ought to be involved in shaping the future
of the energy industry. With this in mind, we have
pioneered both an executive and postgraduate
Master in Energy Management, and launched the
Research Centre for Energy Management (RCEM)
at the London campus (rcem.eu).
●

Master in Energy Management
Main Programme Objectives:
● Understand the energy business environment and its
fundamental economic and technological concepts.
● Gain the ability to develop and implement strategies to
address major issues in energy regulation and policy.
● Develop in-depth knowledge of energy technologies,

vision of the globalised economy and of the energy industry.
Both postgraduate and executive:
An Executive programme for managers:
Designed to be compatible with a full-time job, the Executive Master in Energy Management programme
is designed for both those entering the energy industry for the first time, and those wishing to take their
current career in the sector to new levels. It consists of four two-week modules organised in London,
Berlin, Paris and Madrid, and a final one week seminar in India.
● A full-time postgraduate programme:
A one-year programme designed for junior candidates with a bachelor degree, organised in London and
Paris. The Master in Energy Management also incorporates a professional internship and master thesis.
