The problem with the company is that Schlumberger has never developed anything from scratch, instead relying on buying in technology or companies then singularly failing to evolve the technology or even beginning understand it and then dumping key staff who had the experience. From what I hear in the UK their foray into rechargeable cells is a classic example and Elon Musk they ain't.
Their 'managers' and I use that term loosely, are jack5hit scared of doing anything in case they lose their PIPs or even their jobs, so there is little forward thinking, positive feedback implementation or innovation there. Any firm that has to get an outside company to poll their staff about the 'Schlumberger Family' has made a very unwise choice in supervisors or managers as does a company which keeps creating buzz words and hiring staff to make sure the charts from these buzzwords are filled in.
Your highly paid managers should be already organising things so you do not need "transformation", 'blue shift', 5S, and all the rest of the modern c-ap. You should be expecting managers to be employed to do this especially at the ridiculous salaries/compensation they get.
I would bet that Schlumbergers'charge into the digital era ( 4/5 years too late as the ship has already left port) will be a disaster of Titanic proportions. The computer system they currently have are not up to much and are over-complicated.
