Utilities and large companies operating in the energy system are entering an era in which the long-standing world of predictable demand and slow innovation is fading. The next decade of advantage will flow to organizations that learn quickly and act with purpose. Traditional innovation pathways cannot meet this moment; they produce insights without action and pilots that never scale. A new approach is needed that ties innovation directly to strategy, anchors decisions in evidence, and enables organizations to shape emerging spaces rather than respond once competitors set the terms.

The Realize 2050 Innovation Flywheel is designed to close this gap.
