NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AlixPartners, the global business-advisory firm, today announced that Dennis Cassidy, co-leader of firm's global Oil, Gas and Chemicals Practice, will be speaking at the International Quality & Productivity Center's (IQPC) "Operational Excellence in Oil and Gas Summit" on Nov. 5 in Houston.
Cassidy's presentation, which begins at 9:20 a.m., will address the topic, "How productive is your capital? Achieving the returns you deserve from your projects and capital investments," and it will include recent research from AlixPartners investigating why many companies in the industry have been experiencing declines in ROCE (return on capital employed), and what they might do about it.
Audience members will also have an opportunity to participate directly by taking part in a pre-event survey on the topic of capital-productivity performance, and then benchmark their results with those presented.
The Summit, now in its fifth year, routinely attracts senior executives from companies such as Shell Oil, BP, Baker Hughes, Hess, ConocoPhillips, Marathon Oil and more.
