A six-module executive course on analytics and AI fluency, built for utility leaders and their teams, so the people setting direction can read the data, ask the right questions, and lead the transformation rather than watch it.
Analytics and AI are changing utility operations whether or not the people leading them feel fluent in either. This program is built to close that gap, not with hype, but with the practical command a leader needs to ask the right questions and make the right calls.
This is not a typical training. It is not about more tools or more jargon. It is about building clarity, asking better questions, and leading with confidence through complexity. Real stories, grounded leadership exercises, and frameworks a leader can apply immediately.
The course launched in Fall 2025 and drew a launch cohort of 34 participants from 17 member utilities, with each executive pairing up with a designated delegate, so strategic alignment at the top lands as practical execution in the operation. It is available now: reach out and we will bring it to your leadership team.
Focus on decisions, not datasets. Where analytics actually earns its keep in a utility.
The three realms of utility data, and why accuracy improves through application, not avoidance.
Leadership alignment, shared vocabulary, and what has to be true before the tools matter.
Structured and unstructured data, explainable versus black-box models, and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Scoping the pilot, measuring what matters, and letting the results teach.
AI as a probabilistic support tool, not a replacement, and the leadership work of earning trust in it.
Each 90-minute module runs in three parts: a change-management primer that frames the leadership challenge through a real utility story, a technical-literacy segment that breaks the key concepts down without the jargon, and a live peer Q&A that is deliberately not recorded, so the conversation stays candid.
Every module after the first features a utility leader spotlight, a peer walking through what their organization tried, what worked, and what it cost to learn. Homework happens between sessions, with leaders reflecting alongside their own teams, because one must do, to learn.
The full six-module program and the recorded lecture sessions are available to member leadership teams. Email and we will get your leaders set up with access.
