The challenges you face
You are running a business in the energy sector, busy keeping the lights on today. And you know you need to innovate to keep them on tomorrow. But still:
- Well intended innovation goals are misaligned with parts of the business. Or your ecosystem.
- You have found initial success, but are now bogged down by scaling bottlenecks.
- Plans are announced and everybody cheers. And still you get dragged down by cultural resistance.
How I've helped others like you
For TenneT, I transformed their reactive data management into a proactive, asset-driven approach. By interviewing stakeholders and applying best practices from my MBA, I helped them shift from treating data as a by-product to a strategic asset, reducing recurring issues and enabling smarter decision-making. As their Head of Data Management noted: "This was an excellent exploration of best practices that will help us become a true business enabler."
For MFF BAS, I put ethics and shared values on the map for the first time in their energy data-sharing ecosystem. This clarified their purpose, improved collaboration, and moved them beyond compliance. The director shared: "You managed to put ethics on the agenda in the energy industry. Before this, it was off our radar."
How I can help you
Innovation Strategy
Pain: "Your innovation efforts lack a clear roadmap, or you’re unsure how to turn ideas into actionable plans that align with business goals."
How I Help:
I help businesses define and execute innovation strategies that bridge theory and practice. For TenneT, this meant mapping out a future-ready approach to Asset Information Management—identifying gaps, aligning stakeholders, and embedding best practices to ensure their data strategy supported long-term goals, not just immediate fixes.
For You:
From assessing your current state to designing a tailored roadmap, I’ll help you build a strategy that’s both ambitious and actionable—so innovation drives growth, not just activity.
Scaling Innovation
Pain: "You have innovative ideas or pilots, but struggle to scale them across teams, stakeholders, or systems."
How I Help:
I help businesses move from proof-of-concept to broad adoption. For Stedin, I cut through the complexity of blockchain for grid flexibility—distilling global trends, stakeholder interests, and technical options into a clear, actionable report. This gave their team the confidence to critically assess next steps and align internally, turning a buzzword into a strategic opportunity.
For You:
Whether it’s a new technology, process, or partnership, I’ll help you identify barriers, engage the right stakeholders, and design a scaling plan that fits your organization’s reality—not just the hype.
Innovation Culture
Pain: "Your team lacks shared purpose, or innovation feels like an add-on rather than a core part of how you work."
How I Help:
I help organizations build cultures where innovation thrives. For MFF BAS, I facilitated a process to define their shared values—shifting their focus from compliance to societal impact and collaboration. This not only clarified their purpose but also improved how members worked together, making innovation a natural part of their operations.
For You:
Whether it’s aligning values, breaking down silos, or fostering ownership, I’ll help you create a culture where innovation is everyone’s responsibility—not just a buzzword.
