To enhance relationships with the community, achieve the next generation of savings, and lead the carbon-reduction effort, utilities need to think differently, make data useful, and learn from the best strategies across the industry.
Our people, our insights, and our network help you better understand and interact with your customers. By collecting insights from utility employees and customers, we can:
- Analyze primary market research to help you create effective programs and services
- Compare internal metrics across the utility sector to evolve your customer strategies
- Improve satisfaction by designing customer-centric initiatives that better meet customers’ needs
How we help
Let our research give you the actionable insights you need to meet your goals, whether customer-facing or operational. Our proprietary, industry-specific market research, benchmarking, and assessment studies can enhance your programs and customer interactions by giving you a deeper understanding of customers’ needs, behaviors, and beliefs. You’ll also learn how your utility compares to its peers and how to improve your outcomes.
We can help you:
- Better understand and interact with customers by designing programs and outreach from the customer perspective
- Make data-driven decisions instead of using assumptions to solve problems
- Improve your customer strategies by discovering what other utilities are doing, who’s best in class and why, and how to make a business case for improvements at your utility
