Can you believe this? BP actually endorsed a board game in the 70s about offshore oil drilling, which included the potential of oil spills. Ahh the irony.

There has been a lot of PR commenting on the disaster and providing thoughts on how BP should be managing its communication. I have decided to steer clear of the discussion. In my opinion BP’s issue is that there is a hole in the ocean floor spewing forth oil. Until that is fixed no matter how good the thinking or the strategy, the communication is going to be insufficient.

Shame the engineers responsible for the spill didn’t spend some more time with this game learning how to avoid such disasters…
