a Multi - Division, Investor-Owned, Energy Distribution Holding Company.
CLIENT CHALLENGE
Their President and CEO requested that I help them develop their first formalized Strategic Business Plan. He approached me after I had completed a similar project for another Connecticut-based Holding Company.
They wanted to focus on expanding their total distribution capability from exploration to industrial distribution; open up new markets and applications for their line of commodity products. CEC was then an old-line organization fraught with "traditional" ways of doing business (a good deal of the "not invented here" attitude) and of course, a reluctance to change Fortunately, the President, a man of extreme vision, dedication, patience with a "can do" spirit, fully committed his office to developing and implementing the planning process I recommended.
RESULTS
The Business Plan when completed was submitted to the appropriate regulatory authorities and provided the planning model for years at CEC.
