The bottom line

Only about 20% of Manage activities is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: With no child occupations seeded, this process's scalar is derived from its APQC category lens ('Manage activities') and its industry context ('Oil and Gas Extraction', 'Support Activities for Mining'). Managing activities in upstream petroleum decomposes into coordinating intensely physical field operations like drilling, extraction, and site maintenance; because the underlying work and asset management are hands-on and field-centric, it is placed in the physical band at a band-center 0.20.

Business-as-Code

Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.

Manage activities sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Manage activities inherits.

How the work flows

Trigger: An operational schedule, project phase, or field work order is approved and released for execution.

  1. Review activity scope and standard operating procedures
  2. Allocate field personnel, equipment, and necessary materials
  3. Commence operational tasks and dispatch field crews
  4. Track daily progress, resource consumption, and environmental conditions
  5. Mitigate emerging operational bottlenecks or safety disruptions
  6. Document activity completion and update operational logs

Outcome: Field and operational activities are executed, verified against safety standards, and documented in enterprise logging systems.
