ABSTRACT
A profound change of culture is necessary for all parties in the offshore related industry if the costs of the UKCS are to be controlled. Change on the scale that is needed will require the development of a high degree of trust and confidence between all parties … We must move away from adversarial contractual relationships and nurture changes in attitude wherein people learn to work together in a common direction and purpose. (DTI Report of the Working Group on UKCS Competitiveness, 1993a: 3.1)
