The Intelligent Utility

About the Book

In the year 2015, we see the use of Intelligent Utility technology to create business value    as an integral part of successful utility companies. What role will you be playing then … and what will you do now to prepare for your future in the IU world?

The keys described in this book enable the successful management of work processes that are enabled with IU technology. Keys are critical because improving work processes is tough work … that requires knowledge of the "tricks of the trade.” The fifteen keys are all about "greasing the skids” for the wide-spread use of IU technology to create business value. This book contains the needed implementation mechanics, spelled out in simple, practical yet powerful terms.

Failure of Intelligent Utility projects is no longer excusable with these keys down in black and white. You can be an IU winner, not a victim of poorly- run IU projects.

"You don't have to be afraid of change any longer! Dutch's work offers entertaining and simple solutions that will help you move swiftly and efficiently through the growing pains of organizational change," says Ken Blanchard, author of The Secret and The One Minute Manager.

About the Author

Dutch Holland, PhD & Jim Crompton, MS ENG are highly regarded as “thought leaders” and as consultants who will tell it like it is. The authors’ collaboration combines management consulting experience in upstream with oil & gas domain expertise into important insights about creation of business value from digital technology. Jim and Dutch are both convinced that the Digital Engineer concept must be made a reality or the Big Crew Change will likely result in both “outdated roles” and replacements that may “fit the roles but not the digital future of the upstream business.”
