The electric utility industry is facing a range of disruptions, with the emergence of new technologies, increase of customer expectations and shift of energy demands. Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK) as one of the largest energy holding companies in the U.S., has set its long-term strategy to generate cleaner energy, modernize the energy grid, expand natural gas infrastructure, engage stakeholders in new ways and, ultimately, enhance the customer experience.

Its transformation efforts and digital work has not just sparked operational efficiencies but created the beginning of a culture change where employees are able to work faster, smarter and safer. Duke Energy’s leaders and employees are beginning to think, act and interact more effectively – and are becoming one of the world’s first truly digital utilities.

The company is creating a smarter energy future for the people and communities it serves. As Duke Energy changes, industry-wide disruption is also evolving – and it must keep in lockstep with the accelerating pace of change. New technologies and maturing digital tools have enabled new opportunities to meet ever-increasing customer and employee expectations. The strategy was refreshed, embedding operational excellence and digital transformation as foundation enablers to deliver on their commitments to their customers, investors and employees. 

In 2018, Duke Energy implemented an enterprise-wide digital transformation, called Lighthouse. Lighthouse aims to steer the company away from the real business risks, toward a technology-enabled future and has resulted in one of the fastest transformations Duke Energy has ever experienced. Some highlights of this transformation include:

  • Built 20 digital products from the ground up in one year
  • Deployed releases of these products to over 4,500 employees and contractors
  • Impacted the enterprise by engaging ten business units and involving over 500 employees in this effort
  • Realized an average of 93% satisfaction measure for employees within Lighthouse and a strong Net Promoter Score for its products

Duke Energy has realized these results by staying focused on delivery and execution — and by adopting a structured approach, known as the Digital Operating Model:

  • Promote leadership support and alignment to include all operating business units in their digital transformation – Organizational alignment around objectives and key results
  • Building an Agile team for each digital product: Every digital product has a dedicated co-located/cross-functional team with business and IT representation
  • Funding teams incrementally (i.e. Metered Funding): Funds are provided to carry a team’s effort through an eight-week window. After which, the teams submit their Business Outcome Summary highlighting key results and identifying their future funding need
  • Ensuring human-centric design is carried thoroughly throughout the design, implementation and deployment phases: All pain points are refined during workshops with user empathy maps and other tools to ensure they are building the right product

Duke Energy envisions becoming a truly digital utility, where they design, develop and deliver digital products to improve their customer and employee experience.
