Work With Skip
Keynotes, advisory and board service from Skip York
Skip brings thirty years of long-horizon decisions into the room — as a keynote speaker, as an advisor through DSC Advising, and as a candidate for board service.
Keynotes
Skip speaks to leadership teams, industry conferences and investor audiences — recently the Energy Intelligence Forum in London, EarthX, the Argus Americas Crude Summit, the CFCA Summit and the University of Wyoming's Distinguished Speaker Series. His talks are built on the ideas in Skip's book on bridging strategy and execution and on the energy outlook he follows every day.
Strategy beyond the quarter
The three-legged stool, the D-Day test and the discipline of no — for leadership teams that want strategy to change daily decisions.
An energy outlook for uncertain times
Oil, refining and geopolitics, and what they mean for long-horizon investment.
Making strategy everyone's job
Strategic literacy from the boardroom to the front line.
Advisory through DSC Advising
DSC Advising helps organizations turn strategy into plans they can execute. Skip works with leadership teams on three things: market dynamics — analyzing market changes and what they mean for outcomes; business strategy — strategies that lead to implementable plans and lasting competitive advantage; and mentorship — tools and guidance for leaders and businesses that want to grow. He runs the firm himself and brings in deep subject-matter experts when an engagement calls for them.
Board service
Boards of capital-intensive organizations oversee decisions that outlast every director's term. Skip set the strategic path for BHP's exit from petroleum and has advised energy companies through several market cycles. He is open to board roles where long-horizon strategy and energy-market judgment matter.
