Progressive deregulation in the industry has revealed that there is little perceived product/brand differentiation in traditional utilities (water, electricity, gas, etc.). Customers are accustomed to contracting utilities from government-designated suppliers and do not associate quality with the supplying brand, as is almost always the case in other industries. This has coincided with the emergence and increasingly widespread use of new technologies, digital transformation, the value of data and the new, more agile ways of working, as well as with a changing environment due to new regulations, a modified global energy map and a complex economic situation that affects energy consumption.
These circumstances pose many management challenges related not only to the effort of “defending” the current positioning and to diversification, but also with measuring, supporting and effectively managing business while properly monitoring and controlling the various risks and opportunities associated with these activities, as well as to ensure best practices in the fulfillment of business obligations, all aligned with international sustainability standards.
Additionally, corporations are facing the challenge of digital transformation (intelligent use of data as a lever for generating value, sensorization, advanced Analytics, etc.) which, together with the global macroeconomic situation, society’s growing sensitivity towards climate change, and the changes in business models, requires focusing on improving efficiency and creating value for clients and shareholders. In this respect, organizations are focusing their attention on innovative actions that maximize their potential.
