Agile Programs for Utilities

The power industry and regulated electric utilities are grappling with urgent challenges that must be addressed with agility due to the uncertainty of:

  1. Regulatory policies
  2. Intensity and frequency of climate change impacts
  3. Pace of decarbonization and electrification
  4. Benefits and cost of ownership of the new grid and climate technologies

We specialize in helping utilities become more agile with Agile Program Management.

Our methodology combines lean management and evidence-based management techniques to break strategic goals into measurable intermediate goals for rapid success or, if necessary, for fast pivot to new directions. We have adapted an agile program management approach that has been very successful for technology companies to the regulated utility environment. While safety and affordability remain the constant strategic goals of every utility, we overlay an agile mindset for experimentation, risk-taking, and effective collaboration to achieve a better ability to innovate and faster deployment time.

Our services include leadership coaching and improving team performance.

Our unique program management approach will ensure the success of your initiatives by satisfying the consumer’s expectations and the regulator’s mandate.
