AI-Energy Strategic Foresight Map
A Bespoke Executive Intelligence Engagement for Board-Level Strategy
Purpose
To help corporations understand and navigate the coming decade of AI-driven disruption in electricity demand, energy system architecture, and infrastructure investment—before it hits their balance sheet, regulators, or investors. This is not an AI implementation roadmap. It is an AIxEnergy lens on the future—crafted specifically for your enterprise, your sector, your exposure.
What Makes It Different
Every foresight map is built from the ground up, based on the client’s business model, risk profile, regulatory exposure, infrastructure dependencies, and capital strategy. No two are the same. This is executive war-gaming meets energy systems modeling meets AI governance foresight—translated into a narrative and decision framework your board can act on.
Deliverables (All Custom-Built)
1. Foresight Map: AI-Energy Disruption Zones™
A bespoke 2x2 or 3x3 scenario map plotting specific risks and opportunities across:
– AI-as-load (electricity cost, reliability exposure)
– AI-as-optimizer (internal ops, DERs, demand response)
– AI-as-controller (automation, control systems, grid interfaces)
– AI-as-policy (regulatory scrutiny, ESG alignment)
Tailored to the client’s geography, regulatory regime, and asset base.
2. Strategic Foresight Memo (10–12 pages)
A custom narrative laying out 3–4 alternative AI-energy futures, with:
– Risk-adjusted implications for operations, investments, and reputation
– Clear positioning opportunities and early-mover advantages
– Sector comparisons to assess peer exposure and blind spots
3. Executive Foresight Session (Live, 90 mins)
A high-stakes internal session for C-suite and senior strategy leads. Combines briefing with interactive stress-testing of the foresight map. Can include board observers or investor relations leads.
4. 30-Day Post-Engagement Advisory Session
One-hour follow-up for strategic calibration or transition to longer-term retainer.
Optional Add-ons (Quoted Separately)
– Live Policy Radar: Add 3-month horizon scanning for regulatory or geopolitical moves
– Investor Communications Deck: A refined version of the memo for investor relations or ESG disclosure
– Internal Training Module: Custom-built primer for mid-level strategy or tech teams
Ideal Clients
– Hyperscalers or digital infra players anticipating AI-driven energy risk
– Manufacturing firms with high energy intensity or electrification plans
– Real asset investors seeking differentiated AI-energy due diligence
– C-suite teams preparing investor narratives or board strategy offsites

AI Integration Readiness Diagnostic
A Comprehensive SWOT Analysis for Utilities Entering the Age of Intelligent Energy
Purpose
A clear-eyed, hype-free diagnostic of how artificial intelligence is impacting your utility—and how ready you are to lead, adapt, and capitalize. This isn’t a vendor maturity model. It’s a board-level assessment of AI readiness across load growth, operations, grid assets, governance, and business strategy.
Why It Matters
AI is arriving through load growth, DER coordination, predictive maintenance, and market platforms—but no one has connected the dots internally. This engagement builds the map and names the stakes, giving your executive team clarity, alignment, and direction.
Deliverables
1. AIxEnergy Utility SWOT Framework™
A customized matrix analyzing your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats across:
– Load & Demand
– Operations & Maintenance
– Asset Strategy
– Grid & Market Interface
– Business Model & Governance
2. Strategic Readiness Report (12–15 pages)
A board-ready narrative with your current AI posture, prioritized risks and opportunities, and clear recommendations for next steps. Includes optional benchmarking and internal scoring framework.
3. Executive Diagnostic Workshop (Live, 90 mins)
Facilitated session with your leadership team to validate findings, test assumptions, and align on strategic direction. Tailored to your governance, territory, and operational structure.
4. Post-Diagnostic Roadmap Call (45 mins)
Aligns key takeaways with internal planning, IRP development, or regulatory briefings. Option to support CEO or board messaging if needed.
Ideal Clients
– Investor-owned utilities navigating rapid load changes and grid AI exposure
– Municipal and cooperative utilities seeking clarity without vendor pressure
– Grid operators developing internal AI governance or planning frameworks
– Executive teams overwhelmed by AI hype but accountable for real-world performance

AIxEnergy Strategic Validation Sprint
Clarity, Credibility, and Capital Alignment for Energy-AI Startups
Purpose
A four-week strategic sprint that pressure-tests your energy-AI value proposition, refines your investor and utility-facing narrative, and aligns your go-to-market logic with real-world utility, regulatory, and infrastructure dynamics. Designed to help founders cross the credibility gap—fast.
Why It Matters
AI-energy startups often lead with tech but lag on clarity—unsure how they fit into the grid, how utilities buy, or what risks investors actually weigh. This sprint connects the dots, rewires the narrative, and creates a founder-ready map to drive traction, partnerships, and funding.
Deliverables
1. Strategic Validation Map
A 2-page synthesis that clarifies:
– Target buyer or utility archetypes
– Commercial pain point and GTM logic
– Market position in the grid/infrastructure stack
– Regulatory and investor risk indicators
2. Credibility Narrative Redraft
Overhaul of external messaging for investors and utilities, including:
– Refined deck language
– GTM strategy and pilot logic
– Founder narrative and “why now” positioning
3. Investor & Utility Signal Simulation (Live, 90 mins)
A red-team simulation that challenges the startup’s story from a skeptical investor or utility POV. Ends with findings and prioritized recommendations.
4. Post-Sprint Founder Briefing (45 mins)
Delivers final roadmap and founder alignment briefing to prep for pilots, raises, or strategic pivots.
Ideal Clients
– Energy-AI startups pre-Series B
– Founders seeking pilot traction, regulatory clarity, or capital alignment
– Grid or optimization startups entering regulated markets
– Teams preparing for institutional investor or strategic partner diligence
