Inside my practice · Electric utility
The storm they had already seen on Tuesday
A reliability trend and a forecast were visible before a major outage.
What the situation reveals
The operating condition
Pre-staging depended on one unavailable decision maker despite an early warning.
The move I would make
Write a measurable trigger, a backup owner and a drill for storm readiness.
The question to take into the room
Who acts on the warning when the usual authorizer is away?
Explore the architecture
Follow the condition through the system.
Start with PRAEVENIRE, then examine where the other disciplines alter the decision or its consequences.
Bring it into your work
