Energy leaders are navigating a new reality where geopolitics, AI, and operations are tightly intertwined. A column in World Oil published today by Herman Nieuwoudt, President, IFS Energy & Resources, explores how this convergence is reshaping decision-making across the oil and gas industry. From supply disruptions to shifting capital flows and the widening gap between AI ambition and execution, the article highlights why resilience now depends on speed, clarity, and operational insight. 🧠 As Herman writes: “The hard part is the last mile - putting AI into the hands of the thousands of people who maintain equipment, schedule work and make operational decisions every day.” Read the full column here: https://ifs.link/PZuRW3 #EnergyLeadership #IndustrialAI #OperationalExcellence

Most people think about football clubs like Chelsea Football Club in terms of matchdays and players. Few think about the logistics operation running behind every single one of them. Kit, medical supplies, equipment, global travel - all moving constantly, all involving trade-offs around cost, speed and carbon. And right now, for most organizations, that data sits scattered across spreadsheets, portals and inboxes. That's the problem IFS.ai for Logistics is built to solve. And in our latest video, Sarah Chiplin and Vaibhav (Vaibs) Kumar walks through exactly what that looks like - using Chelsea as the example. The technology isn't unique to football. It's the same approach used by manufacturers, aerospace firms and logistics operators running some of the world's most complex supply chains. The video explains the rest. #IFSChelseaFC #IndustrialAI
