INDUSTRY

Power & Utilities

The future of power and utilities is a simple one; decarbonize and provide a stable source of clean water in an unpredictable, water-scarce world. The path to this future, however, is less certain although littered with stranded assets, it is also an enormous potential for innovation and radical rethinking.

We ask these 3 key questions when looking at the future of all industries.

  1. How will you intertwine the Triple Bottom Line of Planet, People, and Prosperity?

  2. Where are the Moments of Courage you need?

  3. What Key Questions will unlock new mental models?
We encourage you to harness exponential technologies and take Courageous Actions to Build Forward.
