Information

Utilities are increasingly pursuing data-driven decision-making to improve operational performance, regulatory compliance, and long-term resilience. However, the effectiveness of analytics, digital twins, and artificial intelligence depends on foundational governance structures that ensure data quality, ownership, accountability, and risk alignment. This session demonstrates how utilities can build the management frameworks required to unlock the benefits of data-dependent tools while preserving service reliability and executive oversight. Through practical case studies, presenters will show how governance transforms digital initiatives from isolated technology deployments into sustainable organizational capability.

This is a panel discussion. It will not have traditional presentations but instead a dynamic discussion with a set of panelists. Panelists will provide brief remarks and will focus on their discussion and interaction with the audience rather than a presentation.
