THEPOWEROFALL-TIDIGITAL LITERACYPROGRAMS
"The Digital Army encourages all employees to actively join and participate in its initiatives, emphasizing the importance of collective growth and contribution. "
In TI, our commitment to fostering innovation and building a digitally empowered workforce and community, is exemplified through some major flagship initiatives: the Bonny Digital Literacy Initiative (BDLI), the Digital Army, the Digital Competency Development Program and the Hackathon. These programs are designed to enhance skills, promote collaboration, and drive progress, ensuring that NLNG remains a leader in digital transformation and innovation.
DIGITAL ARMY
Let’s start with the Digital Army program. Launched in the third quarter of 2021, the NLNG Digital Army is an inclusive initiative designed to engage all employees in advancing the company’s Digital Transformation Agenda. This program is structured into smaller clusters, known as Communities of Practice (CoPs), which provides a platform for members to explore specific areas of interest such as Agile practices, design thinking, data analytics, and the Island Coding Club (ICC).
The Communities of Practice span various competencies, including Scrum Masters, Data Engineers, Data Scientists, UI/UX Specialists, Developers, Business Value Experts, Product Managers, Project Managers, and Digital Leaders. By aligning employees with their areas of interest, the Digital Army fosters a culture of continuous learning and self-development, contributing to sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation within the organization.
One of the standout features of the Digital Army is its ranking award ceremony, which is powered by a point-scoring system and portal. Members are ranked based on their digital achievements, with top performers celebrated and awarded periodically. This system not only motivates participation, but also reinforces a culture of excellence and recognition.
The Digital Army encourages all employees to actively join and participate in its initiatives, emphasizing the importance of collective growth and contribution. Together, these efforts are helping to enhance NLNG’s digital culture index.
Currently, the digital army has 853 active members and they are subdivided into the different Community of Practice (CoP). Here is a breakdown of some members in the CoPs. Agile CoP-173 members, Analytics CoP-215 and ICC CoP -164 members
Agile CoP-173 members, Analytics CoP-215 and ICC CoP -164 members
THEDIGITALCOMPETENCY DEVELOPMENTPROGRAM
NLNG, through the TI department launched the Digital Competency Development Program in the second quarter of 2022 It is a bold initiative to ensure our employees are not only prepared, but thrive in this environment, as we recognize that our rapidly evolving digital world, demands a workforce equipped with the skills to drive innovation and navigate new technologies The journey began with clear objectives: enhance digital skills, improve technology adoption, foster cultural transformation, and align career development with our organizational ambitions. With this vision in mind, we set out to create a comprehensive approach that includes everything from competency assessments to certifications, on-the-job mentorship, and continuous learning through our Digital Army initiative.
So far, we’ve made remarkable progress by exceeding our user registration target with 3,000+ employee sign up, surpassing the 2,000 target we set out to achieve Corporate digital competencies are now clearly defined across all job profiles, and 75% of employees have already either started or completed the Digital Literacy Program We were able to have personnel complete a total of 13,994 courses out of the 17,377 digital courses started, as of our last report from November 2024 This generated us a value from cost avoidance of about $251,892 as a return equivalent to the cost per user licenses
As we look ahead, the journey is far from over We aim to close any remaining gaps, train our Graduate Trainees in advanced digital skills and refine our reporting to better showcase the value of this program to the business
"the Hackathon plays a critical role in integrating winning solutions into NLNG’s strategic roadmap"
HACKATHON
One of the key initiatives that embodies our vision is the Hackathon, a Digital Innovation competition designed to encourage employees to explore novel ideas, push boundaries, and develop innovative solutions to drive progress within the organization.
The Hackathon which kicked off in the last quarter of 2022, focuses on specific business areas from the NLNG Roadmap, with leadership identifying processes that can be improved through technology However, employees are also encouraged to identify high-value improvements within other areas Teams of employees come together to collaborate intensively, submitting their solutions for screening The most promising ideas are shortlisted based on infrastructure availability and their potential business value, ensuring alignment with strategic goals.
From these submissions, the top five initiatives are selected and provided with the necessary support to tackle technological challenges. With the backing of available resources and infrastructure, these teams work to refine their solutions, which are then presented during the competitive stage of the Hackathon At the conclusion of the event, the top three teams are recognized, with the winner receiving special acknowledgment
for their exceptional skills and innovative contributions, which are then implemented into the system after the Hackathon is concluded Beyond the recognition of talent, the Hackathon plays a critical role in integrating winning solutions into NLNG’s strategic roadmap, ensuring that the innovations born from the event lead to real-world improvements By celebrating talent and creativity, the Hackathon strengthens our culture of collaboration and positions the organization to thrive in the rapidly evolving digital world.
In addition to fostering professional growth and development, the Hackathon serves as a platform for employees to showcase their technical expertise and problem-solving abilities The event encourages employees to think outside the box, collaborate across disciplines, and push the limits of what’s possible, ultimately driving forward the success of NLNG’s digital transformation journey.
The Hackathon has already produced three seasons.
