Organizational Assessment for a Utility Regulatory Commission
Leadership Case Study
A utility regulatory commission wanted to improve the timeliness, efficiency and responsiveness of its regulatory and administrative functions. The assessment combined governance and workflow review, peer benchmarking and external stakeholder interviews.

The challenge
The commission needed to improve the timeliness, efficiency and responsiveness of its regulatory and administrative functions.
The approach
- Governance and workflow review. Examined how decisions and cases moved through the organization.
- Peer benchmarking. Benchmarked against at least three comparable commissions.
- External perspective. Interviewed consumer advocates, regulated utilities and other stakeholders.
- Report. Delivered findings and recommendations to the commission's chair.
The outcomes
- Workflow and governance findings informed by internal and external stakeholders
- Recommendations delivered to commission leadership
Why it matters for Altus clients
Regulators serve many stakeholders at once. Hearing from those outside the agency surfaces delays and friction that internal reviews miss.
