Business Strategy + Planning
The global electric industry is undergoing a transformation driven by technological innovation in the ways energy is produced, stored, delivered, and consumed. Opportunities to reimagine and make a more resilient, efficient, and affordable electric system are expanding, but so is the complexity. Business planning based on strategic foresight and business architectural principles can enable an organization to evolve effectively in order to realize its potential.
Technology Investment Planning
Information and operational technology investments are foundational to the current and future success of utilities and energy solutions businesses. Alignment of technology investments with business process reengineering and organization change management is also necessary. This requires a holistic approach to planning and managing technology investments, including business case development.
Regulatory Guidance Development
Electric industry transformation and utility investment growth have expanded the range and depth of regulatory issues to address. Federal and state regulations are evolving to address new aspects and shape the future direction of the industry. Navigating the often complex and conflicting stakeholder positions requires a solid understanding of the issues, global and domestic best practices, combined with practical experience.
