Beginning your Digital Transformation Journey
During this joint webcast, The Water Research Foundation and SWAN explored how utilities can begin their digital transformation journeys. This webcast panel discussion were utility representatives that shared their utilities’ digital transformation stories. The utility panel discussed questions such as:
- What is the first step your utility took to start their journey?
- Why should a utility go digital when they already have other assets that need attention and resources?
- How can a utility start their journey when they have limited resources?
- How do you ensure your utility's critical infrastructure is protected during this transformation?
- How can utility decision makers overcome decision paralysis/paradox of choice?
