As highlighted in the latest McKinsey Quarterly, modern corporations - including utilities - need to be agile to survive and thrive. The key to success is continuous improvement and innovation without sacrificing stability.
Agile sensing with the support of information networks is identified as a critical component. This is what The Water Network is all about.
Tap into our human sensor network of experts, we are here to support your digital workspace and knowledge sharing initiatives. I look forward to reporting exciting case studies starting next month.
Stay tuned!
