AMI Post-Implementation and Looking Ahead, July 20, 2021

Webinar Overview:

After an AMI strategy is approved and the roadmap is developed, many planning considerations must be addressed as part of the overall process. AMI is, however, a technology that will ultimately transform an organization over time. This transformation creates a need to rethink typical utility implementation frameworks and plan differently to decrease risk and enhance value over time.

This session will provide a clear understanding of how AMI will transform the organization and insights, as well as practical tools that will help prepare your organization to understand and limit the risk that could derail the implementation(s) over time. This session will help you understand how AMI will holistically impact the organization and change its business unit processes. Specifically, you will increase your working knowledge and understanding of:

1. The Big Picture organization planning required for successfully implementing AMI.
2. How the Big Picture is needed to support overall organizational change.
3. How the metaphor of AMI being an octopus can create a shared perspective and allow people to understand and support the AMI strategy and roadmap.
