“A Business Process is a collection of linked tasks which find their end in the
delivery of a service or product to a client. A business process has also been
defined as a set of activities and tasks that, once completed, will accomplish an
organization goal.”
Business Process evolved in the past
decades…
… and became more mature
Why do we need
Process
Improvement?
Let’s talk about Process Thinking
Customers want more, better, faster
and pay less for products and services
Shareholders determine new directions
and expect more efficiency
Changes happen all the time
Resources are not always available
And people don’t have time…
The best alternative is to look inside
We know how to do things. We have all
the pieces.
Results can be achieved if we put the
“pieces” in the right place
This becomes a
Process
We also need Consistency
Optimize our resources
Measure and control our progress
and improve Continually
What kind of problems we solve with
Process?
Waste of TIME
Waste of MONEY
Waste of RESOURCES
It is possible to do it FASTER
CHEAPER
and.. BETTER
How?
5 STEPS
1. Define and Understand the
problem
2. Collect Data, Historical information,
insights, past experience, etc.
3. Identify opportunities, assess
risk/impact/cost, and prioritize initiatives
4. Implement your Quick Wins and then
your best opportunity
5. See the results… and be ready to
make it even better!
We just need 3
things:
1.Processes
2.People
3.Tools
What are other companies
doing???

What can I expect for the Future?
Process Utility Industry
1. Customer-focused
2. Fast & Agile
3. Strategically Aligned
PROCESS
Trend #1: Increasingly
Customer-Focused
• Business growth plans
• Changing customer expectations
• Competitive threats
“In an economy where capital is tight, the way you
can fund growth is by driving efficiency and
effectiveness.”
“We have to be more aware of what customers want
and be flexible and agile to meet the greater
variation of requirements.”
Trend #2: Fast & Agile
• Average length of a process improvement
project: 3-6 months
• Shorter projects that deliver benefits quickly
• Flexibility and adapting to changing
circumstances
• No time to view process as static entities to be
documented
• Process playing greater role in IT
“…service and lead time are becoming more critical
regardless of what industry you’re in.”
“…pushing improvement tools out enterprise-wide so
that individuals can make smaller, incremental
improvements within their area of work.”
“We need technology aligned to process to build
agility to change…”
• Improve Efficiency
• Reduce Costs
• Improve Customer Satisfaction
• Increase Market Share and Revenue
• Reduce Operational Risk
• Interest in Process is expanding
• (challenge 1) Link process improvement with top
level business strategy
• (challenge 2) Sustaining change
“…we have to do continuous improvement or process
improvement or some form of operational
excellence.”
“…to be less adherent to labels and more focused on
capabilities and competencies.”
Trend #3: Strategically
Aligned
“Sometimes process professionals don’t know how to
relate process to clear business objectives.”
1. The Aging Workforce
2. Environmental Concerns
3. Reliability
4. The Smart Grid
UTILITY INDUSTRY
Trend #1: The Aging
Workforce
• Reduce overall staffing by leveraging technology and making staff more productive
• Reducing hiring creates a generation gap
• Lack of younger replacements (companies need to be more attractive)
• Issues to be addressed: retaining the knowledge, and attracting, enlisting and educating a new
workforce. Implication: increase demand for skilled staff (engineering disciplines)
• Look for ways to reduce costs (e.g. lower overall administrative costs)
• Automate internal processes
• Impasses in middle and upper-management positions. Implication: alternative career paths
• Leverage technology to drive performance
• Atmospheric CO2 concentrations will reach 450ppm (“critical”). Implication: dangerous climate change
• Governments are attempting to address energy sustainability
• Several countries are backing off their commitments to nuclear power
• Clear conflict between energy demand needs and potential environment impact
• Countries will need to ramp renewable sources to meet carbon reduction goals
• (recommendation 1) Prepare for an increased percentage of renewable generation in your portfolio, and
make sure that your IT can cope with intricacies of renewable sources
• (recommendation 2) IT must work closely with regulatory and energy trading functions
Trend #2:
Environmental Concerns
• Customers’ perceptions of reliability are changing
• Failures in utility reliability receive more publicity than in the past
• Asset management and operations organizations need IT support to expand reliability models and
establish new business processes
• Utilities are often not prepared to deliver coordinated messages across multiple channels
• Business Processes support reliability forecasts, monitor systems for abnormal
patterns, and provide more detailed modeling (predictive reliability assessment
using historical info)
• IT plays a critical role in helping business to acquire and retain the information needed for modeling
Trend #3: Reliability
• Rapid smart grid adoption due to Government sponsorship to address energy sustainability concerns
• Utilities are forced to raise end-user tariffs to fund smart grid investments due to costly environmental
regulation
• Increase of the need to enhance network resilience and to improve asset use
• Transmission-level improvements require wide-area monitoring and P&C infrastructure
• Distribution-level improvements require advanced distribution management system (optimize feeder
voltage, automate fault detection, isolation and restoration)
• Smart grid development will increase data quantity (different variety)
Trend #4: The Smart
Grid

Trend #1: Increasingly Customer-Focused • Business growth plans • Changing customer expectations • Competitive threats “In an economy where capital is tight, the way you can fund growth is by driving efficiency and effectiveness.” “We have to be more aware of what customers want and be flexible and agile to meet the greater variation of requirements.”
  • 56. Trend #2: Fast & Agile • Average length of a process improvement project: 3-6 months • Shorter projects that deliver benefits quickly • Flexibility and adapting to changing circumstances • No time to view process as static entities to be documented • Process playing greater role in IT “…service and lead time are becoming more critical regardless of what industry you’re in.” “…pushing improvement tools out enterprise-wide so that individuals can make smaller, incremental improvements within their area of work.” “We need technology aligned to process to build agility to change…”
  • 57. • Improve Efficiency • Reduce Costs • Improve Customer Satisfaction • Increase Market Share and Revenue • Reduce Operational Risk • Interest in Process is expanding • (challenge 1) Link process improvement with top level business strategy • (challenge 2) Sustaining change “…we have to do continuous improvement or process improvement or some form of operational excellence.” “…to be less adherent to labels and more focused on capabilities and competencies.” Trend #3: Strategically Aligned “Sometimes process professionals don’t know how to relate process to clear business objectives.”
  • 58. 1. The Aging Workforce 2. Environmental Concerns 3. Reliability 4. The Smart Grid UTILITY INDUSTRY
  • 59. Trend #1: The Aging Workforce • Reduce overall staffing by leveraging technology and making staff more productive • Reducing hiring creates a generation gap • Lack of younger replacements (companies need to be more attractive) • Issues to be addressed: retaining the knowledge, and attracting, enlisting and educating a new workforce. Implication: increase demand for skilled staff (engineering disciplines) • Look for ways to reduce costs (e.g. lower overall administrative costs) • Automate internal processes • Impasses in middle and upper-management positions. Implication: alternative career paths • Leverage technology to drive performance
  • 60. • Atmospheric CO2 concentrations will reach 450ppm (“critical”). Implication: dangerous climate change • Governments are attempting to address energy sustainability • Several countries are backing off their commitments to nuclear power • Clear conflict between energy demand needs and potential environment impact • Countries will need to ramp renewable sources to meet carbon reduction goals • (recommendation 1) Prepare for an increased percentage of renewable generation in your portfolio, and make sure that your IT can cope with intricacies of renewable sources • (recommendation 2) IT must work closely with regulatory and energy trading functions Trend #2: Environmental Concerns
  • 61. • Customers’ perceptions of reliability are changing • Failures in utility reliability receive more publicity than in the past • Asset management and operations organizations need IT support to expand reliability models and establish new business processes • Utilities are often not prepared to deliver coordinated messages across multiple channels • Business Processes support reliability forecasts, monitor systems for abnormal patterns, and provide more detailed modeling (predictive reliability assessment using historical info) • IT plays a critical role in helping business to acquire and retain the information needed for modeling Trend #3: Reliability
  • 62. • Rapid smart grid adoption due to Government sponsorship to address energy sustainability concerns • Utilities are forced to raise end-user tariffs to fund smart grid investments due to costly environmental regulation • Increase of the need to enhance network resilience and to improve asset use • Transmission-level improvements require wide-area monitoring and P&C infrastructure • Distribution-level improvements require advanced distribution management system (optimize feeder voltage, automate fault detection, isolation and restoration) • Smart grid development will increase data quantity (different variety) Trend #4: The Smart Grid
