What We Did
Led a three-phase engagement to build a strategic roadmap for power quality data use
Conducted stakeholder interviews across key departments to align technical goals with business needs
Delivered a detailed, actionable plan including timelines, staffing, budgets, and success criteria
The Challenge
Utilities increasingly recognize the value of power quality data to improve system performance, reduce outages, and optimize grid efficiency. However, many lack the internal bandwidth or expertise to strategically plan around its use. Even those with dedicated teams often need a third-party expert to guide planning efforts and validate the technical direction.
Without a clear roadmap, power quality data often remains underutilized—limiting its potential to drive measurable improvements across operations and customer service.
Lifescale Analytics’ Solution
Lifescale Analytics applied a three-phase strategic planning approach to help the utility client define how power quality data could be better leveraged across the organization.
The phases included:
Roadmap Review – Assessed existing planning documentation, data systems, and use cases
Stakeholder Workshop – Conducted in-depth interviews and collaborative sessions with Planning, Operations, Customer Account Management, and other departments to gather insights and align priorities
Roadmap Development – Delivered a cohesive, actionable plan with clear steps to bridge current capabilities and desired future state
The final deliverable included a formal report that equipped internal teams with messaging, timelines, and decision-making tools to present the strategy to executives and stakeholders.
Impact
The utility gained a comprehensive and executable roadmap that included:
A gap analysis between current capabilities and desired outcomes
Defined success criteria, staffing plans, and preliminary budgets
An implementation timeline to align with corporate planning cycles
A vetted framework for turning data insights into operational improvements
