Strategy & Planning

Utilities and businesses now face a confluence of challenges: budget constraints, aging infrastructure, increased scrutiny and workforce turnover. These challenges demand more than ‘best practices’ – they demand specific trade-offs regarding tailored operating models. They demand true strategic planning and rigorous strategy implementation.

At MWH, we help clients develop strategic business plans and then convert these plans into action. We integrate your strategies and business plans with proven financial and risk management processes to provide your organization with a holistic approach to business planning. We offer strategic planning, enterprise benchmarking, and portfolio investment optimization services to water, wastewater, energy, government, industry and transportation clients worldwide.

Our strategic planning services for new and existing utilities help clients develop long-term visions, plans and priorities, and translate those plans into implementation tactics with specific milestones, key performance indicators and execution monitoring processes. We work with clients to develop benchmark and key performance indicators to evaluate and audit current strategic plans as well performing quick diagnostic checks on asset and utility management practices. Finally, MWH helps clients analyze and optimize major investments and portfolios of investments through market studies and market entry strategy development.
