Organizations are facing challenges of increasing complexity and at an ever faster pace. Technical limitations, scarcity of resources, and the complexity of scaling are slowing down progress. In this challenge existing structures hinder flexibility.
The energy transition is in full swing and is causing increasing complexity throughout the entire energy system, from grid operators and energy suppliers to large-scale consumers. Grid congestion, infrastructural challenges, and scarcity of resources and technical personnel are serious bottlenecks, while demand for electricity continues to rise. Accelerating the energy transition requires more than just technical solutions; it is a systemic change.
Collaboration is essential to accelerate the transition to a transparent, connected, and resilient energy system.
At Been Management Consulting, we help organizations accelerate this transition. We combine strategy and execution to turn plans into action. We work on creating a structure and culture that supports transition and growth. We do this by translating strategy into concrete implementation, with a focus on increasing control and agility in complex environments.
These challenges are rapidly affecting all players in the energy system. Organizations must be agile in order to respond to and anticipate these challenges.
However, agility does not come naturally: existing structures, investments, and processes are geared toward the long term, which makes it difficult to switch gears quickly.
Balancing certainty and flexibility in order to look ahead is a strategic necessity.
Business Model Innovation
Innovating the essence of what companies do, to tackle challenges and create a positive impact
Vision & Strategy Development
Formulating a sustainable, inspiring strategy that motivates stakeholders to take action
Organizational Design & Structure
Designing and structuring flexible organizations that are ready for the dynamics of the energy transition, to truly achieve agility
Feasibility is limited by technical complexity, long lead times, and a shortage of materials and (technical) staff.
Controllability is becoming more complex due to technical and social innovation.
Scaling is an additional bottleneck: pilots are often difficult to translate into large-scale applications.
A systemic approach and a focus on multiple value creation are crucial to addressing these challenges.
Portfolio Management
Setting and achieving strategic goals by prioritizing, optimizing resources, and managing risks
Program and Project Management
Creating coherence and gaining control over time, money, and quality in complex processes by focusing attention and managing risks
Multiple Value Creation
Making integrated decisions and managing with a multi-value approach from programs and/or the organization’s management model
A culture of flexibility, collaboration, and continuous learning and improvement is essential, but not self-evident.
The ability to change must be cultivated. This requires strong leadership, employees who are supported in their growth and development, improved collaboration, and taking responsibility.
Performance Culture
Creating a performance culture based on desired behaviors and matching leadership styles ensures that the desired changes are embedded in the organization
Change Management
From analyzing the change(s) and their impact on the organization and employees to developing a change plan for all stakeholders
Team & Leadership Development
Providing insight into the strengths of teams and leaders in organizations to improve team performance through mutual understanding
We can only overcome the major challenges of the energy transition by working together. At Been Management Consulting, we contribute by turning challenges into concrete results: from clear strategy and business model innovation to robust execution with program and project management. Our approach combines head and heart, focusing not only on structural aspects but also on culture, leadership, and multiple value creation. In this way, we are accelerating the transition to a future-proof energy system.
