Stephanie Cassee is spot on. This is exactly what our customers say, that they have found procurements to be far more successful when there is engagement with suppliers before starting the formal part of the procurement – that way they can better understand the sorts of features and innovations that are available on the market, and which of these can best help them. They can then specify these innovations when the formal part of the procurement is underway, resulting in a solution that better meets the needs of the authority. Councils looking to procure a new EMS, please have a quick look at this short article by my colleague.

I love this 🙌 It's so important to improve efficiency and sustainability in the utilities industry, but when the teams on the ground really feel the difference you know it's a job done well. Capgemini worked with Scottish Water to transform service operations for its 1000+ field workforce. Here's what has been achieved through the SWIFT initiative so far: 💧 1,700 unnecessary site visits avoided (these are time-consuming fixes which slow down crucial day-to-day work) 💧 Better data storage and access for field workers and customers to stay up to date (and unlock future analysis and predictions) 💧 16,000 kg reduction in CO2 emissions (fewer unnecessary visits has reduced travel and saved £100,000s) Highly recommend watching the video to learn more 👉

We spend so much of our time pressing forward always focused on the next thing. We forget what we have achieved or perhaps don’t give ourselves the credit for what we have done. In particular when it is improvements in personal skills and growth. It is mid year review time at work and I have been reflecting with the team on their progress. Interestingly I have said the below a few times, so I love that this popped up with the visual to bring it to life. Just because there is still work to do or you are not where you think you were going to be, does not mean you have not had success. Don’t forget to look behind you to see how far you have come. Take the time to recognise your progress and fill your cup! #mindset #personaldevelopment
