Utilities face evolving data, analysis, and customer technology demands, from asset health telemetry to hosting capacity analysis to EV chargers, requiring advancements in grid analytics. However, accounting for the latest best practices, technology developments, and interdependencies across business units is becoming increasingly intricate.

• How can utilities create a grid analytics plan to address a business unit's needs amidst changing factors?
• How can utilities act quickly on technology decisions without analysis paralysis? 
• How do they ensure that once created, a grid analytics plan does not ‘sit on a shelf collecting dust’?

Our presentation will underscore the principle of a "Go Slow to Go Fast" approach, where thorough planning and assessing interdependencies in utility business units early on, leads to faster, more successful outcomes in the long run. Our speakers will provide examples from utility projects that involve grid analytics, offering the audience a strategic planning process along with success examples that can be leveraged at their own utilities.
