overview
Energy is a complex area, and it is only getting more complex over time. Managing it effectively can require domain knowledge across areas as diverse as business strategy, energy markets, engineering and carbon accounting, to name just a few. Businesses are responding to increasing complexity by ensuring they have relationships with external experts that complement their internal expertise.
Many businesses have existing relationships with trusted experts in the areas covered in the energy briefing and the other resources. For those that do not, sourcing a referral from professional networks is a natural first option. Beyond that, seeking out a member of a well-established, credible industry association can act as a good starting point.
