TELLING OUR STORY 07< Back to contents
STORY BUILDING
When we need to communicate about recruitment, development, opportunities, values or behaviours we do this by sharing stories of our people – it is therefore important to ensure we select the most appropriate storytellers to demonstrate key messages through their own personal experiences.
STORY BUILDINGEach story should be built around the following.
Are you looking to recruit externally or engage employees internally with a value/ behaviour or process?
Who is your audience?
Each story should support one of our Values – our promise has been developed in line with our Values and behaviours so use the messaging matrix to help you align your story.
Which of our Values does the story illustrate?
Be clear which element of the promise you want to highlight or engage employees with.
What element of the promise do you want to communicate?
Based on what you want to communicate, select either a team/group or individual who would best help demonstrate your key messages. E.g. Are looking to engage employees on an individual level with the PMR or are you looking to promote Collaboration within a project?
Who is the storyteller?
It is important to make the story personal. This is also an important factor when choosing who to approach to tell their story. Sharing personal experiences will help to demonstrate the personality of Subsea 7 and provide an insight to the people who make us who we are.
What is personal about the story?
Considering the Function of the storyteller will also help support your key messages and help to engage your target audiences. For internal communications – developing stories to cover as many Functions as possible will help connect people with our promise.
What Function does this relate to?
Communicating what we do is as important as communicating who we are. Incorporating details about our capabilities or one of our key differentiators (Assets, People, Local Content and Technology) will provide a context to position ourselves as a leading strategic partner and employer of choice within our market.
How does the story demonstrate our capabilities and position Subsea 7 as an employer of choice?
TELLING OUR STORY 08< Back to contents
SOURCING STORIES
When looking to develop a story, approach storytellers who you feel would best support your objectives.
You then have two main ways which you can source content for the story:
Use the Story Builder template, to provide you with a framework to ask the storyteller questions which will ensure you get the right level of details from them to write a strong story. This is the recommended approach.
Ask your storyteller(s) to complete the Story Builder template directly and send this back to you. You should then be able to build the answers together to create a story.

People are central to our success and are a key feature in our communications. These are the people whose stories we’re telling so, where possible, use real people shot in a warm, natural, reportage style.
Use real situations and capture interesting, engaging moments at work.
Options:
Use full/half page image of the storyteller as the main background image. This can either be of the storyteller on their own but ideally within the context of their story e.g. in a work/learning/behaviour related activity. If you choose this option please
ensure there is ample space on the left hand side of the image to allow for the story text to be applied.
Include a small image of the storyteller in a panel on top of a full page/half page image when the background image does not or cannot include them directly in it.
PHOTOGRAPHY – STORyTEllERS
Always include a caption of the person in the image using the following naming convention – first name, job title, location.

If the story relates to one of our key differentiators especially any of our assets or technology then try to source or create a dynamic image to provide maximum impact to your communications.
Use unexpected viewpoints and interesting perspectives to create drama. Sharp focus and shallow depth of field will allow room for your story text to be applied.

TYPOGRAPHY
The Subsea 7 logo should be the only logo to appear on any materials.
You can chose to apply a headline within a lozenge or directly onto a full/half page image depending on the composition.
Headlines within a red/blue lozenge are reversed out in white.
All headings should be in Helvetica Bold, upper and lower case, ranged left with no punctuation. Ideally 24pt on 28pt but some flexibility is allowed. The 2nd part of the headline is in Helvetica light and should be 2pt smaller than the first part. Space between the two headline parts should be 25% (so for a 24pt headline, add 6pt space after).
When being 7 is part of the headline, the white logo should be used and it should be the same size as the text it sits with.
Sub headings should be in Helvetica Bold, 14pt on 18pt and in colour. Use 100% yellow on dark backgrounds and Subsea 7 dark blue on light backgrounds.
Body copy should be a minimum of 9/12pt and regular in weight.
Use white on dark backgrounds and black on light backgrounds.
Add 6pt space between paragraphs. Copy should be airy and not too long. Our story average word count is 120 words. Please make sure it is clearly visible. Consider another background image, retouch the one you have or use a ghost lozenge if legibility is a problem.
Where appropriate, ‘That’s being 7’ concludes the copy on a line of its own. This is in text only. The web address/contact details should follow in Helvetica Bold. For recruitment adverts, there is a Subsea 7 statement which should be included .

Careers take you further at Subsea 7. Especially if your dedication matches your talent. And I should know.

Do things the right way and you can move in any direction. And go as far as you want to. In a fast-changing business and project environment like this one, there’s never a dull moment.

The man chosen as the inaugural recipient of the award, Seven Discovery saturation diver Alex Georgiou, has big shoes to fill but is ready for the challenge. Alex has been working with the company since 2008, initially as an air diver and then as a saturation diver since 2011. He is under no illusions about what the award means.
“Kenny was a larger than life character and I will step up to do him proud,”
he said. “I fully intend to leave a positive mark on the industry and our business over this next year.
I’m also looking forward to the opportunities and knowledge
I’ll gain through this extra involvement too. I am
keen to learn as much as
possible from all aspects of the business as it is my intention to further my career and be a valuable asset to the company.”
Group Operations Director Bob Bryce has championed the award and believes Alex has all the right qualities to carry Kenny’s legacy forward: “He came through the pack as someone who, whilst still relatively inexperienced, has all the right qualities and critically the correct attitude - he’s as keen as mustard”.
“This isn’t just about picking up a trophy. The challenge that comes with the honour is to make a lasting impression on the diving community within our business during the year ‘in post’. ultimately what I’d really like to see is a log of Alex’s actions and achievements, which he can present to next year’s successful candidate and challenge him to carry on the legacy.”

The Subsea 7 diving community decided to honour the memory of a much-missed colleague with a special award recognising up-and-coming industry talent.
The commissioning of the Kenny Ebbrell Memorial Trophy was universally acknowledged across the company as a fitting way to remember a man whose commitment to the job, infectious enthusiasm and strong leadership was legendary in the offshore world.
The original trophy is on permanent display on the Seven Discovery, with a replica created and handed over annually
to the young diver in the company who best displays the values Kenny held dear: initiative, enthusiasm, energy, commitment and teamwork – values which are very closely aligned to those adopted by Subsea 7.
Group Projects and Operations VP Andy Woolgar was instrumental in the creation of this fitting memory. Andy addressed the congregation at Kenny’s funeral, following his colleague’s tragic death in a paragliding accident at the age of just 52. He told those who had come to celebrate a life lived to the full: “Kenny loved his job and was delighted to take on the role of Offshore Manager onboard the
Seven Discovery. “Kenny’s leadership and guidance to all was immediately noticeable. Subsea 7 had great plans for Kenny and highly valued his particular capability of fostering and encouraging safe and efficient best practice in diving, starting from the very first day a new diver enters our industry and the water to the day he becomes a manager in his own right.”
Referring directly to the award, he added: “Kenny’s legacy to the diving industry will never be forgotten and his shining light and enthusiasm will forever have a home in our fleet.”
When Kenny ebbrell, Seven Discovery diving offshore Manager, passed away in november last year his loss was felt across the company.

Subsea 7 has officially opened its new Global Pipeline Welding Development Centre (GPWDC) in Glasgow, uK, the culmination of a £10 million investment programme to integrate state-of-the-art welding development, inspection and research and development activities.
The Centre is managed by Subsea 7’s specialist in-house Pipeline Production Group (PPG), and develops automatic welding control programmes for a wide range of pipeline sizes, materials and types to ensure that key parameters are maintained to repeatable, computer-controlled standards.
The new technologies developed at the Centre deliver significant improvements in welding performance to support clients in meeting the challenges of operating in deeper water and harsher environments.
The new Centre features a unique simulated welding production line, where pipeline strings can be rotated, aligned and welded under controlled conditions. This allows for realistic pre-production trials and the effective transfer of automatic welding technologies to Subsea 7’s pipeline spoolbases worldwide.
The simulated production line and 14 individual welding bays are also used for training automatic pipeline welders and inspectors, as well as qualifying welding procedures and client demonstrations.
Alex Georgiou is the inaugural recipient of
the Kenny Ebbrell Memorial Trophy.
“Possessing integrated in-house pipeline production and welding development capabilities gives Subsea 7 a unique competitive advantage in our market,” says PPG Managing Director Paul Alexander.
“Innovative pipeline technologies like high strength steel pipes, mechanically lined pipe and Electrical Trace Heated Pipe-in-Pipe are game-changers for our clients, but they bring their own distinctive welding challenges. The work being carried out here enables Subsea 7 to effectively deploy these market-leading technologies on a global basis.”

THE wiND Of CHaNgE exciting developments in Subsea7’s recent growth
include the establishment of a renewables division,
and this year’s consolidation of the renewables
business into Seaway Heavy Lifting. Bob dunsmore,
SVP renewable energy, SHL, shares an update on the
recent developments.

In early 2013, we further advanced our capabilities in this market by consolidating Subsea 7’s renewables teams in Aberdeen, Glasgow and Suresnes, Paris, into Seaway Heavy Lifting (SHL), our 50%-owned joint venture company.
“SHL already has a strong market position in the transportation and installation of foundations and platforms for offshore wind farms, and the addition of the Subsea 7 capabilities makes the JV a very strong player in this market,” says Bob Dunsmore, SVP Renewable Energy, SHL.
“This move has been welcomed by clients in the offshore wind sector as they can see how the combined strengths of
oFFSHore reneWABLeS
SHL and Subsea 7 will deliver their future projects.”
During 2013, SHL will work on a number of offshore wind farm projects including the installation of 80 monopile foundations for the RWE Gwynt y mor project off the coast of Wales and the installation of tripod structures for Trianel on the Borkum West project in Germany. This has also been a successful period for new contract awards to SHL, including one for the installation of a 14,000 tonne HVDC transformer topsides for Siemens on the Sylwin project using a floatover installation method.
“Since the announcement of the consolidation of the businesses in January this year, there has been a great
deal of activity to define the organisation of the new SHL,” says Bob.
“The last four months have been a busy period as we define how we will operate in the future. I am pleased to say that the cooperation from the teams in the various locations has been excellent and there is a great deal of excitement on where we can take the company in the future.
“One of our main focus areas in 2013 is to tender for large integrated offshore wind projects that have previously been outside the capability of SHL. We are setting up the core team to do this in the Subsea 7 Aberdeen office, and also have a team in the Subsea 7 Suresnes office to pursue some specific opportunities for the French market.
“This is an example of how the Subsea 7 expertise in large projects is brought into SHL to complement our existing capabilities.”
SHL operates two crane vessels, including the new-build 5,000t lift DP3 heavy lift vessel the Oleg Strashnov (2011), and has become a key market player in transportation and installation services for the offshore wind markets in the uK and Germany.
Adding Subsea 7’s capabilities in project management, procurement, cable-lay and turbine installation offers outstanding potential for company growth in the European offshore wind market, which is already worth an estimated $1.5 billion
per year and is predicted to exceed the North Sea Subsea umbilicals, Risers and Flowlines (SuRF) sector in value by 2017/18.
We anticipate that our operations will grow in all of our locations including the uK, France, Germany and the Netherlands.
The growth in this market will create career development opportunities in our renewables teams for our people, for both project and ad-hoc secondment to SHL.
The European offshore wind market is predicted to exceed the North Sea SuRF sector in value by 2017/18. This growth will create career development opportunities in our renewables teams for our people.

Senior Accountant Henry Nebenu considers his move to Subsea 7 the best he has ever made. “Since I joined the company in April 2011, I’ve found this to be the most exciting and challenging experience in my career so far.”
Henry attributes much of his success at Subsea 7 to the Values that have become embedded within our culture: “One of the things I’ve seen here is that people and our core Values - safety, integrity, innovation, performance and collaboration - are key to the success of Subsea 7.”
Our Values also support our own professional success, as Henry’s story shows: “Being here has helped me discover a part of me I’ve never really harnessed. I discovered a whole new me, and this has helped me to look into the future with great enthusiasm.”
On joining the company, Henry was first tasked with supporting our global integration team in the implementation of SAP. He recalls: “I joined a global team of very dedicated and professional people. I remember the first time I met with the integration team, in the middle of the workshop I asked myself: what are they talking about? They were going on and on about SAP and what the tool can do for us but I wasn’t following. I didn’t understand a thing!
“With the support of my colleagues, I did catch up and began making my own contribution to the project, which went live in January 2012.”
From there, Henry has continued to meet many welcome professional challenges. Today, he has a dual role that involves supporting our Finance team in Nigeria and working as an accountant with Nigerstar 7, a joint venture between Subsea 7 and Jagal Group.
Reflecting on his experience of Subsea 7 to date, Henry confirms: “I consider myself fortunate and proud to be part of a great company with limitless potential in the industry. That’s Being 7.”
Part of the Being 7 promise is a commitment to shared success: collectively as a business and professionally as individuals.
This commitment is endorsed by Sales & Marketing Director Monica Bjorkmann “By choosing a career in Subsea 7 you can move in any direction. You can go as far as you want to; it’s all about dedication and effort.”
Following her degree in Economics, Monica joined Subsea 7 as a Cost Controller. She charts her subsequent progression with the company: “I went on to become a Management Accountant and Project Controller and, after a while, I moved from Projects Business Manager to Supply Chain Manager.”
Monica and her family then made the decision to relocate to Australia where she took on the role of Deputy Project Manager. They returned to Norway after a couple of years, where Monica has recently assumed the post of Sales & Marketing Director.
Monica recognises that Subsea 7’s environment and culture are conducive to creating new and exciting opportunities for our people to continually progress and take on new challenges: “In a fast-changing business and project environment, there’s never a dull moment.”
Keen to share the benefit of her experience with her colleagues, Monica advises us to: “Be humble and have respect. Dare to be visible in the organisation and grab the opportunities you’re given. It might be challenging, yet so rewarding both on a professional as well as personal level. It is a lot of fun! That’s Being 7.”
See pages 28 and 29 for more Being 7 stories.
Recent months have seen extensive activity across the company following the launch of our global employer brand Being 7 in 2012.
Being 7 is a way of describing who we are. We communicate this through real-life personal stories and pictures, illustrating how we live our company Values: stories such as the ones told here by Henry Nebenu and Monica Bjørkmann.
Here’s what Being 7 means to them...

Our vision for 2017 is to be acknowledged by our clients, our people and our shareholders as a leading strategic partner in seabed-to-surface engineering, construction and services. We will achieve this vision by living our Values: safety, integrity, innovation, performance and collaboration.

This publication is a collection of stories demonstrating who we are, what we stand for and what drives us. In this edition, we focus on highlighting a number of projects from across our international operations.
Our business is built around the execution of projects that demand the highest standards in safety, engineering, innovation and project management. Block 31, Aasta Hansteen, Gorgon and Superbid III showcase the work
that we are delivering for our clients across the globe. Our vessel fleet is also central to our service offering, illustrated in our feature on Seven Waves PLSV and our interview with Captain Gérard Dubreil.
Delivering successful projects requires the best people in the industry. Subsea 7 remains committed to supporting you in your continued career development, and to enabling you to access new and refreshing opportunities at the right time.
I am committed to delivering on this promise, and I am delighted to see that so many of your experiences reflect this. From colleagues who have been with Subsea 7 for 40 years to more recent recruits, you will find a wealth of stories from all over the world.

Imagine if you could communicate with your colleagues through one central platform. A platform that would mean you’d no longer have to use one system for your desk phone, another for video calls, and another for audio conferences. We think it would make life much, much easier – and that it would help us to work even more collaboratively. By taking our current Instant Messaging system to the next level, we’ll be able to do all of that and more.
Lync will enable us to:
• Make voice calls• Make video calls• Join video or audio conferences• Share screens• Send Instant Messages • See who is where, and whether they’re free
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sending you more information about Lync as well as running a number of drop-in sessions so you can see just how easy the system is to use, and ask any questions you might have.
In the meantime, visit 7ONLINE to find out more and see Lync in action.

Collaboration is at the heart of our success. And with Lync, it will be even easier for you to find contacts. To see when they’re free. To share your work with them. And to talk to them face-to-face, wherever they happen to be in the world. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be distributing the headsets you need to use Lync to the full (you’ll only need to wear one when you’re making or receiving a call). You’ll be able to come along to one of our drop-in sessions and you’ll also receive an email giving you the details on how to get the most out of the system. Put simply, Lync is all about working smarter. Working together. Working as one. Visit 7ONLINE to find out more and see Lync in action.
