Operations as a Business |
 |
| We can help you transform your management processes from an internal, cost-management, efficiency perspective to a total profit-seeking business perspective. We can work with you to prepare a comprehensive business plan that will address the needs of your fleet, including marketing, customer service, strategy development, capital and operating decision-making, human resource development and union-management relations. The results will provide you with a full analysis and go-forward plan for addressing all important issues that will help make your plant fleet a winner in the competitive market for electricity. |

Leadership and Management Development |
|
| Executives across many industries have told us that the best leadership and management development is on-the-job experience, supplemented (lightly) with classroom/text-book education. We can help mentor your new managers from outside the company as well as those coming up through your ranks. We can provide them with on-the-job coaching in decision-making, communications, problem-solving, meeting management and management-by-listening skills. We can supplement this with highly relevant assignments that will expose them to concepts and methods for improving their leadership and management skills. |

Profit Center Management |
|
| Experience has shown that profit-center management approached as a science—an exercise in accounting—is doomed to failure. Those companies that are successful in a profit-center management approach are willing to trade hair-splitting numerical accuracy for indicators that reflect total fleet profitability. We can help you design and implement a balanced-team approach to profit-center management, where the focus is on the whole, not the parts. |
