Conference Overview
As companies have implemented intelligent energy initiatives in their organisations, they have transformed themselves along three maturity stages:
Innovation: Companies start small scale innovative implementations in an individual asset or region, usually driven by local leadership. In many cases, technology or service companies contribute to these specific successes. These initial successes catch the attention of senior management and companies get organised to move to the next stage. Often the leading asset or region continues to innovate with technology, process, people management and business models, and feeds experiences into the overall corporate programme.
Adoption at Scale: In this stage, companies formulate the corporate vision, align the initiatives with the business strategy and raise awareness about the programmes. Executive leadership and support play a huge role in committing the organisation to this transformative process. The proper organisation structure, change management and orchestration mechanisms, are put in place. Employees are trained and several large scale pilots are conducted to develop the standards and guidelines for companywide implementation. New internal and external business models are developed to support the implementations. The technology and service sector gains confidence in the business potential and begins to invest and proactively engage operators.
Sustainability: In this stage, companies create value at scale through wide implementation of their intelligent energy initiatives. Assets work in a highly integrated manner and intelligent energy practices become ‘business as usual’, delivering a new level of performance. Business models and organisation capabilities continually improve to deliver sustained value.
Various companies, regions and industry segments are at different levels of maturity and are striving towards the sustainability stage of making Intelligent Energy ‘business as usual’.
