Pandell Launches its Leadership Speaker Series for Clients, Staff, & Friends

Feb 01 2017 | Corporate, Community, Events

For the past decade, Pandell has committed to “Covering Your Back-office”, by offering an integrated suite of back-office software solutions for the oil and gas community. Today, we are the biggest one-stop-shop for financial, land and operations software in the energy industry. To say thanks to our clients, staff, family, and friends, for their support and loyalty over the years, we’ve launched an exclusive Leadership Speaker Series for them to participate in at no cost.

“We’ve introduced our Leadership Speaker Series to give our clients and employees an opportunity to learn from people who demonstrate leadership in a variety of ways,” says Greg Chudiak, Pandell’s President and CEO. “Besides being motivating and thought provoking, the sessions are intended to help all of us recognize and develop our own leadership skills.”

Ryan Walter – Former NHL Player, Coach, and Stanley Cup Winner

We kicked off the series with three energetic sessions presented by business and hockey icon, Ryan Walter. Calling on his experience as a former NHL player, coach, team president, broadcaster, and author, Ryan shared his passion for teamwork, performance, and leadership. His sessions highlighted the intrinsic motivators and extrinsic team principles that help teams increase their hungry spirit for success. We’d like to sincerely thank Ryan and his wife Jenn, for coming to Calgary and showing us a unique way to think about pursuing our goals.


“I really enjoyed Ryan’s presentation, it made me look at my personal and business goals in a new way. I’m looking forward to attending more of Pandell’s speaker sessions in the future.”

- Brian Gorsline, President at YES Energy

“The activities that Ryan had us engage in were unique and insightful. Thanks for hosting a great event Pandell.”

- Kathryn Trigg, Controller at Shackleton Exploration

“I think it’s great that Pandell invited all of us staff to participate in the leadership series. It’s creative benefits like this that make Pandell such a great place to work.”

- Terry Wray, Pandell Customer Support & Land Specialist

“I’m excited that these events will offer something for everyone. Each person in my family took away a different motivating idea from Ryan’s presentation that we’d like to apply in our lives.”

- Janice Loughlin, Pandell Marketing Specialist

How to Unlock Success with Centralized Data Management 🗃️

Is your company’s data giving you a headache? When information is scattered across local drives, spreadsheets, file boxes, and paper maps, it becomes harder to manage — and the risk of errors or data loss grows.

Centralizing your data saves time, reduces mistakes, and eliminates duplicates, ensuring everyone works with accurate, up-to-date information.

AI can be a game-changer

We like to find the easiest way to do things without sacrificing quality.

In our Pandell Leadership Webinar series, “AI for Smarter Land Records & Quality Data,” we learned how our Land Records team took tens of thousands of PDFs and used AI to find out if there were missing first pages.

The first page is very important because that's your indexing page. It contains the basics such as grantee dates, the legal description, and location.

It would have taken hours for someone to manually go through the documents. Within minutes AI discovered 5300+ missing first pages.

Without AI the project would have taken much longer to finish, delaying the customer access to its organized and searchable library.

AI automated our repetitive and time-consuming work, so we could focus on the things that required human judgment.

How do you see AI changing the game in the energy sector?
