About the Book
The Future Belongs to the Digital Engineer By Dutch Holland and Jim Crompton “The Digital Engineer will be a person with knowledge and skill in the use of engineering and digital technology to enable major process improvements and performance increases in both physical and business operations.” New engineers today enter the workforce with high digital literacy, in addition to their qualifications in traditional disciplines. The challenge is to turn new professionals into Digital Engineers … who bring value to the business. “Jim Crompton, with his coauthor Dutch Holland, has clearly shown us how to bring historically-disconnected skills, organizations and technologies together to drive competitive advantage. This book needs to be on every upstream business person’s digital bookshelf.” Peter J. Robertson, former Vice Chairman of the Board, Chevron Corporation
About the Author
Dutch Holland, PhD & Jim Crompton, MS ENG are highly regarded as “thought leaders” and as consultants who will tell it like it is. The authors’ collaboration combines management consulting experience in upstream with oil & gas domain expertise into important insights about creation of business value from digital technology. Jim and Dutch are both convinced that the Digital Engineer concept must be made a reality or the Big Crew Change will likely result in both “outdated roles” and replacements that may “fit the roles but not the digital future of the upstream business.”
