Leadership, Change and Culture
Organizations today face rapid change—technological disruption, market volatility, evolving ESG expectations. Technical proficiency alone no longer suffices. Thriving requires empowered leaders, aligned teams, and cultures that adapt and innovate. By strategically investing in leadership and culture, you’ll boost performance, accelerate transformation, and retain top talent.

Our expertise: Human-focused advisory grounded in industry insight.
At BBA, leadership isn’t just cognitive—it’s lived. You don’t learn to ride a bike by reading a manual, and you don’t develop leadership by memorizing theories. Real growth happens when leaders experience new skills, build “muscle memory,” and put them into practice.
BBA’s Leadership, Change and Culture advisory services integrate Refinery Leadership’s legacy—20 years of building leadership cultures in global organizations—with BBA’s depth in energy and natural resources. Our solutions are practical, tailored, and designed to elevate both people and projects.
