By Jennette SewardDecember 2, 2025No Comments2 min read

Rising power demand is reshaping the landscape for utilities. With evolving policy and market dynamics and continued expectations for clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy, leaders face a pivotal challenge: how to build the infrastructure of the future while maintaining safety and public trust. The answer isn’t just about capital allocation or constructing new assets. It’s about how organizations lead, equip and mobilize their people in times of rapid change.

In this interactive session, Kotter Managing Director and Head of Consulting Dr. Vanessa Akhtar will host Southern Company’s SVP of Research, Environment and Sustainability, Dr. Mark Berry, to explore how utility leaders can embed adaptability into their organizations – enabling faster, smarter decisions while maintaining trust with regulators, investors and customers. You’ll hear strategies and real-world examples of how leaders in highly regulated industries are unlocking resilience and results.

Key Takeaways for Attendees:

🌟 Rethink the challenge: Why the challenge of rising demand isn’t just financial or about infrastructure – it’s also cultural.
🌟 Lead differently: How utility leaders can accelerate decisions while aligning stakeholders.
🌟 Adapt to thrive: What it takes to build a culture of adaptability that meets demand without sacrificing affordability.
