Utilities form the backbone of daily life, which makes their resilience everyone’s concern. In this Progress Makers conversation, Belle Webster of Eraneos brings together Eraneos experts in sourcing, data and AI, and cyber security to look at resilience in the energy and utilities sector. Prompted by real events, including a cable fire that left parts of Berlin without power for several days, they explain why resilience is about far more than technical security. The discussion covers people’s awareness, reliable IT and a dependable supplier ecosystem, the growing overlap between IT and operational technology, and the part that sovereignty and trust play. Their shared view is refreshingly simple: resilience in this sector is something you build together.
In this conversation:
- Why resilience starts with awareness, not only technology
- How sourcing, IT and OT convergence, and sovereignty fit together
- The case for building resilience alongside clients and partners
