We make public utilities fit for the energy transition
The energy transition requires public utilities to realign their strategy, organisation and processes. AXXCON supports municipal utilities in successfully mastering this change and positioning themselves for a sustainable future. We use a proven and practical approach that addresses the specific challenges of the energy transition on site and supports municipal utilities in their sustainable implementation.
We start the transformation with a moderated strategy dialogue
One of the first challenges for public utilities is to develop a vision for the future and an associated strategy in order to achieve the goals and requirements of the energy transition. Many pubic utilities are faced with the question of how they can expand their traditional business models and at the same time secure their role as a regional energy service provider in the long term.
This is where we at AXXCON come in: Together with the owners and the management level of the public utility, we develop a clear vision for the future in a moderated strategy dialogue. Together, we formulate specific goals – from increasing profitability and opening up new business areas to achieving climate targets. This dialogue lays the foundation for a transformation that is anchored throughout the entire organisation.
An earnings enhancement program creates the economic basis for the transformation
The energy transition is associated with considerable investment costs for municipal utilities. These can only be managed if energy suppliers are economically successful in the long term. We help our customers to increase their earnings.
Through interviews and workshops with managers and employees, we jointly identify potential for sales, contribution margin, investment and resource effects and prioritise them for gradual implementation. In this way, we avoid overloading the organisation and quickly create improvements in order to secure the economic basis for further transformation steps.
We also often see potential for improvement in the area of planning. AXXCON supports public utilities in decentralising their profit planning. This increases the resilience of planning and strengthens the autonomy of the specialist departments. At the same time, we further develop the control functions within the company.
An organisational realignment creates flexible structures
In order to master the energy transition, it is becoming increasingly important to be able to tap into new business areas. However, the right structures and processes to actively shape this change are often lacking.
AXXCON supports public utilities here by developing and introducing a suitable organisational structure. Our aim is to position the client’s employees in the places where they can make the greatest possible value contribution. This is only possible if energy suppliers rethink their collaboration models, roles and positions. This creates a flexible structure that is prepared for the complex requirements of the energy transition.
The energy industry of tomorrow needs efficient processes
Analogous to the organisational structure, the processes must also be designed efficiently and purposefully. One of the main challenges in the energy industry is to be able to react quickly to changing regulatory conditions.
This is where AXXCON comes in: We systematically analyse the existing process landscape and ensure that existing business and new business areas mesh efficiently. Digitalisation and automation are important levers for increasing flexibility and efficiency. We also consider (out)sourcing and service provider management.
Together we will realise your vision
With our tried-and-tested approach, we provide public utilities with holistic and targeted support throughout the transformation process. AXXCON thus creates a strong basis on which municipal utilities can actively shape the energy transition and position themselves as modern, customer-orientated energy suppliers for the future.
