My organisations aims and objectives

Visible to anyone in the world

How does the organisation understand its aims and objectives?

SOS see its aims and objectives as that of servicing the Renewables, Industrial and offshore energy sectors through inspection services, hydraulic, maintenance and refurbishment of equipment. It's aim is to do this through growth acquisition and grow the industrial sector and renewables over oil and gas. 


Do they miss anything important?

Yes, nowhere is the energy transition mentioned, it appears more of the same but growth to make it bigger, rather then 'what are we doing for the future?' Also Automation, Electrical Engineering is not mentioned at all and neither is innovation. I know for a fact that my department innovate and carry out R&D to satisfy new and older clients.  We must Innovate during the energy transition but this is not really mentioned. 


To what degree might your project help the organisation meet its aims and objectives?

I think, by utilising a more efficient method of innovation delivery, this can be marketed as another string in our bow as how we are progressing through a huge energy transition. Perhaps some are already asking what we are doing about this?


Who is affected by fulfilling or not fulfilling the stated aims and objectives and how can your project help in this regard?

Our clients are effected as some are likely unaware that we deliver innovation in some cases.  Clients may have a problem that requires a solution but unaware my department are able to deliver this. My team are also effected as the current method of engineering delivery is rather outdated. Our clients are also, in some cases, not getting as efficient a service as they could, and are often going elsewhere.
