Agenda Highlights

Where are we now?

  • Kick-off the day by assessing the current state of the utilities industry, with a focus on the emerging working environments. We will compare leading versus laggard technologies and their respective impacts on operational effectiveness. From workforce optimisation, technology adoption, regulatory compliance, and maintaining operational effectiveness, we will set the stage on the current state of the UK utility industry from an industry and SAP perspective, assess the impact of the existing challenges, and understand the consequences of maintaining the status quo.

Optimising your Workforce Planning

  • In an industry where companies invest in numerous projects aimed at optimising their workforce, improving asset performance, and enhancing operational efficiency, finding tools that facilitate project alignment with the organisation’s strategic priorities can be the starting point for project success.
  • From project selection and prioritisation to resource allocation and performance monitoring, expanding on GIS integrations and Project Portfolio Management are proven approaches to reduce costs, improve performance, and ensure high-value project outcomes.

Execute

  • Engage directly with our customers as they share their experience with SAP’s EAM capabilities and their partnership with Rizing, as they built proof-of-concept solutions that paved the way for progress with proven results. Ask, discuss, and learn from those who have faced familiar challenges head-on, ensuring you walk away from the session feeling empowered and prepared for your next project.

Decision Making

  • From regulatory requirements to smart decision-making, identifying, calculating, and reporting on the right KPIs will improve the accuracy of your decision-making.
  • By integrating key data into workforce optimisation systems, decisions become better informed, especially critical in activities such as maintenance schedules and resource allocation. They emphasise the importance of timely reporting, adherence to training requirements, compliance with regulatory standards, proactive maintenance, and preparedness for emergencies – all of which are crucial elements in maintaining the safety and reliability of utility services.
