Finding and developing executives for the energy & utilities sector
Companies in the energy and utilities industry are currently facing a multitude of complex challenges. The rapid pace of change characterised by constantly changing legal framework conditions, renewable energy technologies and digitalisation requires a high degree of adaptability from the organisation, management and workforce. The focus here is on ensuring security of supply, sustainability and profitability. At the same time, increasing competitive pressure and regulation are forcing us to develop ever more efficient operating models.
In view of the limited talent pool, the search for executives with the necessary leadership qualities in addition to technical expertise and strategic skills is becoming increasingly challenging. Added to this is the need to qualify and motivate employees for the increasing complexity of the industry and to lead them successfully through the change curve.
It is therefore more important than ever for companies in the energy and utilities sector to find executives who are able to tackle this change with courage and actively shape it.
