Utilities

The utilities sector is facing increased scrutiny on costs and profits, as well as ever-rising expectations around service delivery. At the same time, an array of fast-moving factors like increasing demand, ageing infrastructure, the energy transition and an unrelenting focus on ESG add yet more challenges into an already complex environment.

The stakes couldn’t be higher. The water, power and energy sectors provide the infrastructure for our daily life. One wrong step and whole communities can suffer the consequences. The challenge is to navigate the new complexities and develop robust operating models and collaborative working cultures that are fit for the future.

We work with utilities companies across the Middle East in diverse sectors of the industry, helping to transform their operations, re-engineer processes and build solid foundations for long-term growth.

Our market-proven transformation expertise, rooted in Lean and combined with the latest digital technologies, helps utilities to deliver essential services affordably and sustainably in the face of an unpredictable future.

We streamline processes, reduce bottlenecks, and improve workflows, helping to reduce the time it takes to respond to customer requests or to repair equipment. It could mean reducing your energy or water waste, optimizing maintenance processes, and improving asset utilization, without compromising safety. It involves creating a culture of continuous improvement, where your employees are involved in identifying and addressing inefficiencies and problems, leading to faster problem-solving, increased productivity, and better customer service. And it delivers improved quality by reducing waste and duplication.

Throughout your project, we work alongside you at every stage to implement bespoke solutions specific to your needs. Our goal is not only to transform your business, but also to transform your people. Giving them the tools, insights and understanding to deliver and sustain lasting change.

How Companies Can Leverage Lean to Achieve Their ESG Targets

No business or organization exists in a vacuum, but instead each one operates in a complex physical, social and governmental environment in which everything they do can have both positive and negative impacts. The process known as ESG, which stands for environment, social, and governance, is a templated approach to evaluating business operations according to those three criteria, looking at success not just as profit and shareholder return but in how the organization is functioning within the wider environmental, social, ethical, and regulatory ecosystem.
