Ronald Doades & Co.
Putting Best-Practices to Work
Established 1977

Our mission is to enable our utility clients to reach their full potential by adapting the best practices learned directly from world-class companies.
We are currently planning four best management practices initiatives:
Managing the Grid Business-Model Transformation Process to a Winning Reality—Spring 2023
Prepare for the impending utility business-model transformation by learning first-hand how leading (mainly) non-utility companies have successfully defined and realized entirely new business models.
Optimizing Grid-Modernization Technology Portfolio Investments
Summer 2023
Learn first-hand how R&D new-technology organizations of progressive non-utilities have led development and deployment of innovative technologies that enable new business opportunities.
Eliminating High-Hazard Deaths and Injuries—Fall 2023
Learn first-hand how world-class safety companies are able to sustain greatly reduced occupational deaths, permanent disabilities and soft-tissue injuries.
Asking the Right Disaster Risk-Mitigation Questions—Winter 2024
Learn first-hand how world-class companies ask the crucial forward-looking risk-mitigation questions to minimize the impacts of potential disasters.
Contact Ron Doades for more details on any of these planned best-practices initiatives: rdoades@doadesco.com.
Highly successful companies are not seeking perfect solutions---they are seeking winning solutions.
