Description

The business-led innovation team (Vista) within bp Trading & Shipping (T&S) business is set up with the mission to help future-proof the organization.

We set out to answer 3 questions:
- how can technologies today solve yesterday's problems faced by T&S
- how can technologies of tomorrow give us a commercial competitive edge, today
- what do we need to do/think/behave differently, in a rapidly evolving business landscape

Vista is an agile, impact-driven and solution-agnostic team within T&S, focused on analysing and leveraging innovative technologies, business models and ecosystem partnerships to address commercial opportunities.

We do this through close collaboration with our business stakeholders (front/mid/back offices included) as well as technology partners (internally and externally).

Vista maintains a solution-agnostic approach when it comes to solving a business challenge/opportunity; we are obsessed with the problem, and the holistic suitability of the solution, but not the specific technology or path to delivery (ie. via internal build or external buy).

Within Vista, the Implementation function is 1 of the 3 core pillars, it is responsible for the successful and timely delivery of innovative solutions required to solve business challenges and opportunities.

In situations when we are faced with a novel or complex idea that neither existing enterprise solutions exist nor it could be tackled with external available options, Vista will endeavour to create a rapid prototype by ourselves and hence the need for a digital product manager in-house.
