International Partners With For
Immediate Release
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—September 29, 2004— “Utilities have historically been a conservative
industry and have recently focused on performing basic core strengths by
eliminating diversification efforts to a certain extent,” said Jon T.
Brock, chief operating officer of UtiliPoint International. “However,
with that in mind, we are seeing utilities begin a management shift where
regulatory, governance, information technology, and commodity pricing
issues are forcing the industry to be more agile. The utility that 'does
nothing' will eventually be left behind as the utilities that can see
market conditions changing and make required adjustments early will begin
to lead the utility and energy industry.”
“The concept is not new to other industries,” said
Rick Dove. “Manufacturing is an example of an industry that has
successfully implemented many of the agile enterprise concepts with
astonishing results. We plan to test the concept of agility in the utility
and energy markets, and determine where it can provide the most benefit to
executives facing major technological, operational, regulatory, marketing,
and cultural change.”
UtiliPoint research efforts have already identified areas
where agility is being tested within the utility industry with successful
results. The partnership with UtiliPoint and Paradigm Shift will examine
those areas and identify others where the agile concepts may be
successfully deployed to effect positive change.
The two firms expect to identify other significant
projects in the area of utility agility to work on together in the future.
Additionally, UtiliPoint and Paradigm Shift will partner for industry
seminars and presentation opportunities.
