Business Strategy

Utility Business Strategy is two days of instruction and discussion about business models. It will help participants develop a philosophy of management for either a cooperative or municipal business model. Two instructors will provide insight into the strategic planning process, interaction with business partners, wholesale providers and preparation of budgets. Key business indicators will be discussed and compared to gauge efficiency of the participant`s utility system. Developing industry trends lead to organizational change. Managing that change both among employees and member/consumers will be discussed. The course examines what causes anxiety for utility management and explores way to manage those business dynamics. This is done primarily by the instructors sharing situational examples and class exercises. This course complements another AdvCPE required course entitled ``Business Statistics and Analysis``.
