Energy Affairs Knowledge and Intelligence

Different board members and senior executives have different preferred methods for learning new material and for being continually informed and updated as a subject evolves.

When there is a need for education level-up, ESA offers board seminars, executive tutorials, strategy scoping workshops, one-on-one energy affairs coaching, and other learning opportunities to bring decision-makers up to speed.

To meet the need for energy affairs intelligence – what is coming over the horizon, what are competitors doing, what developments in parallel fields could be applied by the company to its competitive advantage, ESA offers a high level intelligence service delivered in writing or verbally, as the client prefers.

Energy Affairs Strategy Formulation and Improvement

A company’s energy-use strategy can be seen as the pivot point upon which energy affairs success or failure rests. ESA will typically work with a company’s strategy team to create the energy-use strategy that most ideally fits the company’s preferred strategy formulation and execution model. A company’s experience developing and continually refining its marketing strategy, its R&D strategy, its investor relations strategy, its intellectual property strategy, its digitalisation strategy, or its organisational development strategy can readily be applied to creating its energy-use strategy, especially if this is the first time that strategy has been articulated and committed to paper.

Where a strategy writing skillset is not available, ESA has a complete 4-Step Energy-use Strategy Development service to get the job done.

Energy Affairs Independent Assessment

The power of a “maturity assessment” to let the relevant parties know how well a company is doing is well documented. ESA uses the maturity assessment approach to enable boards and C-suites to be kept informed about their company’s progress with regard to energy affairs.

Besides satisfying a key need – to know how the company’s energy affairs compare to a previous time period, to an ideal state, and to competitors – ESA’s Energy Affairs Maturity Assessment also provides decision makers with a measure of the company’s level of awareness of the actual business outcomes derived from greater mastery of its energy affairs, outcomes such as just how much additional revenue has come from energy and carbon-conscious customers, how many close competitions for talent have been won by having a superior response to energy-related issues, and how much an improved ESG score has meant to capital-raising efforts.
