New technologies and the accelerating rate of change for customer wants also have ramifications for operators and utilities. How can utilities align business strategies with customer lifestyles now and in the future? This panel discusses:

  · The ways digitalization, DERs, and technology are changing business models
  · Transformative technology’s impact on system resilience and infrastructure capability
  · Real-life experiences of how organizations achieve milestones in innovation
