Within the framework of Repsol’s 2021-2025 strategic plan, the company recently released the second phase of its digitization program. It integrates and expands the use of generative AI across businesses through a new Center of Competence to enable innovative and disruptive technologies. Simplify your daily processes by making more agile data-driven decisions.
Around the same time as this release, Repsol appointed Juan José Casado Quintero as its new Chief Digital Officer (CDO). This is another strategic move to digitally transform and accelerate the company’s strategy to become a data-driven company.
Cassado, who until recently held the role of Chief Data Officer at Repsol, now stands on a 2023-2025 framework—a roadmap focused on cutting-edge technology to meet business goals. Leading the digital program raised.
Specifically, Europe’s first competence center in the energy sector will use new AI-driven Explore application possibilities. The multi-energy company analyzes new possibilities for the development and application of transformative AI in the midst of the energy transition.
The goals they are trying to achieve with this center include: To identify and implement cases where Repsol’s business areas can create value and accelerate digital transformation through the use of new models. Empower employees to consider how these tools will create new ways of working. We then develop technical and digital solutions to realize the productivity gains that the application brings. To this end, we promote the use of large-scale language models and disruptive AI technologies that enable the generation of images, video, audio, code, and more.
new project key
Repsol is fully aware of the transformative potential and disruptive nature of these technologies, so we are discussing how best to deploy them. For this reason, a multidisciplinary working group was established in the Center of Competence, whose mission is to ensure the responsible use of AI and ensure security and regulatory compliance at all times. To do this effectively, his more than 50 experts from the company are on board, sharing their extensive experience in the energy sector and various digital technologies. This includes cybersecurity professionals, technologists, legal, audit and compliance professionals, as well as highly specialized AI talent, with a predominance of data scientists and data engineers.
Repsol is already exploring various applications of generative AI in processes that can deliver differentiated value to both organizations and their employees. For this reason, a workgroup was formed to suggest more than 250 use cases in which employees can use this technology to streamline their daily work. This includes various tasks such as facilitating access to information for decision making, managing and generating documents, creating multimedia content, developing intelligent his assistants, generating code to develop technical solutions, etc. It is included.
Second wave of digitization
For Repsol, digitalization is a key vector in strategic planning and transformational processes to meet the challenges of decarbonisation. The company first pushed its digitization program in 2018, and since then has spearheaded real-time decision-making and data analytics to improve operational safety for employees and become carbon neutral in the energy sector. We are continuing the process of working toward the realization of .
In his new role, Casado will be able to drive and facilitate digital transformation across all areas of the company. “Technology is good for business, so it must be owned by people,” he says. “Thus, the fundamental mandate of my role is to help conceive and prioritize innovative projects related to digital technology and how they can drive business and have the greatest possible impact. We must provide the most promising projects with the necessary financial and human resources.”
Equally, we are committed to building a platform that helps our staff make the development of digital products as efficient and scalable as possible. Equally important as a priority is building a fully digital organizational culture to ensure employees have the training and skills they need to meet the challenges of digital transformation.
keep on the right path
“The big personal challenge I set for myself is to make sure that the second wave of digital transformation is at least as successful as the first wave,” Casado says. Considering that the energy company has just completed his five-year digitization success period, this sets the bar high. “The first wave of digital programs has been really rewarding, both in terms of achieving the impact goals we set and in terms of the transformation itself,” he added.
Going forward, Casado will continue to uphold the transformative and driving nature of its business by continuing on the same path of success and excellence, helping it to achieve its strategic and decarbonization goals. He said it helps.
at the forefront of technology
To achieve its goals, Casado will rely on a strategic package of cutting-edge technologies. “We will continue to work on everything that has to do with automating operations and processes. This means pushing technologies such as digital twins, IoT platforms and 5G.”
The adoption of AI in all of Repsol’s businesses will likewise increase. “We believe AI will change the way we work in the next few years and we want to lead this transformation,” he added.
Casado is also determined to transform Repsol into a data-driven company, exploring the use of quantum technology and using no-code or low-code platforms to empower employees to further develop their own applications. I’m in. “We are focused on democratizing all technologies related to the data space so that everyone in the organization can make data-driven decisions and autonomously use algorithms and AI in their daily lives. place.
