Strategy, Benchmarking & Advisory

Missing Link supports utilities when strategic choices and investment decisions must be made. We provide fact based advisory services that clarify objectives and benchmark performance against peers and best practices. By quantifying value, cost, risk, and dependencies, we enable informed comparison of transformation options. These insights are translated into robust business cases that support executive and regulatory decision making. We then structure initiatives into clear, prioritized roadmaps. This ensures transformation efforts are selected and funded with confidence and realism.

• Strategic Advisory & Benchmarking

We support utilities in clarifying strategic priorities and benchmarking performance against peers and best practices. For example, comparing AMI maturity, rollout speed, or NRW performance. This provides context for decision‑making and highlights realistic improvement paths.

• Value & Impact Assessment

We quantify expected benefits, costs, risks, and dependencies of transformation options. This includes CAPEX/OPEX trade‑offs, operational savings, and risk exposure. Decision‑makers gain a clear, comparable view of alternatives.

• Business Case Development

We translate analysis into concise, investment‑ready business cases used for board or regulatory approval. These include scenarios, sensitivities, and implementation implications. Approval discussions become fact‑based and efficient.

• Roadmap & Portfolio Definition

We structure initiatives into phased, prioritized roadmaps and portfolios. This ensures focus, sequencing, and capacity alignment across the organisation. Transformation becomes executable rather than aspirational.
