If someone without industry experience wanted to help oil companies solve a massive problem like this. How could they potentially get started? I feel the only way would be to get connected with someone high up in the oil industry, and see where they need help in their offshore drilling operations.
Your question becomes “how do you propose they do it?” (whatever “it” is) And then “how does that compare to what they do now?” And then “Why is it better?” If you can answer those questions honestly and blow their doors off with value, you have something you can build a team around.
You are dead on asking the right kind of questions... AND you are dead on with your answer...
People.
This is why I talk about leadership being paramount. Don’t get me wrong, you need to know what you are talking about and have an idea of a problem that you want to solve and the opportunity in the change, but you’ll never know as much as someone that has spent time living in the industry. Don’t even concern yourself with knowing as much as that person, just find a way to work together. There are always ways to create profitable win-win relationships with others. At that point it becomes a search for key people.
