The Carian Group

Major Investor-Owned Utility – Workforce Planning & Digital Platform

The utility’s leadership faced critical workforce planning challenges that directly impacted capital program delivery and operational efficiency. Legacy systems operated in silos, creating forecasting inaccuracies and inefficient resource allocation. Without integrated data or scenario modeling, leadership lacked the tools to align staffing decisions with long-term capital requirements, leaving the organization reactive rather than strategic.

CARIAN partnered with utility leadership to deliver both strategic advisory and digital execution. We created a workforce planning model and built a custom digital platform to integrate workforce, financial, and capital program data. Our team developed advanced forecasting and scenario modeling tools, then worked closely with leadership to embed these capabilities into decision-making. We supported organizational adoption through executive training, process optimization, and change management to ensure sustainable use.
