The Utility sector is facing one of the fastest and most significant periods of change since privatisation
Overview
The Utility sector is facing it's fastest and most significant period of change since privatisation transformed the market in the 1980's. Driven by new competition measures, evolving regulation, and increased customer empowerment, organisations are having to implement change on ever increasing scales in order to deliver the services required for today's modern utility needs.
The need to deliver resilient services, provide improved customer service and find operational efficiencies to keep costs down provides an ever-present challenge in an industry growing in complexity. The need for systematic, people led change has never been greater.
