(2a) Community of Mentoring

In multigenerational industries, institutionalizing learnings and developing the next-up technology leaders and experts are key to continued corporate stability and growth. Succession planning and mentoring are needed across all career stages for employees to reach their full value delivery capability, regardless of whether the path pursued is technical or managerial. Likewise, leveraging one’s own capabilities to the fullest requires leveraging those capabilities through others, making steady development of mentoring competency a priority during all career stages. This presentation will cover Bill Docter’s career track at ExxonMobil, how mentoring has been integrated throughout his career, and driving group mentoring culture as a senior technical lead in process control and optimization.
