National Grid: Energise Our Business

Case Study Overview

Based in the United Kingdom, National Grid is a leader in the utilities industry and one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in the world. National Grid drives their vision to "Bring Energy to Life" by distributing heat, light, and power to homes and businesses while supporting local economic growth and global sustainability.

With the utilities industry facing major transformation — digitalization and new technologies disrupting industry norms and climate change inducing companies to decarbonize energy networks — leaders must develop big picture solutions to emerging challenges unlike any this industry has seen before.

Since the majority of National Grid’s senior leaders grew up in a stable, unchanging past, they needed skills in embracing and enabling change. And the schedules and geographic dispersion of these leaders prevented traditional development approaches from working.

Entelechy, in partnership with National Grid, created a social learning experience, Energise Our Business, to instill critical leadership topics and skills in the organization’s most senior leaders, effectively creating a cohesive leadership culture across the business.

The program received Silver and Bronze HCM Excellence Awards from Brandon Hall Group for Best Use of Social and Collaborative Learning and Best Use of Blended Learning, respectively. The program also received a silver Learning in Practice Award from Chief Learning Officer.
