Learning Consortia

Join a Network of Leading Global Peers to Share, Learn, and Achieve Best in Class Status

With the scale and pace of the changes facing the utility industry, it’s more important than ever to have a clear understanding of comparative performance, to establish a quality network of peers, and to learn and share with that network the latest innovations and best practices. UMS Group’s Learning Consortia provide just that, with forums across a wide array of industries and topics providing insights into performance as well as best practice conferences held around the world.

We have various standing programs typically run on a 2-year cycle and also offer custom client studies on any topic of interest for benchmarking or data collection. Many of our programs are led by a steering committee of utility leaders, and the subjects are continually evolved to include the latest industry challenges. With ongoing travel limitations, we have shifted recent conferences to a virtual format and have also added a series of monthly webinars covering key topics of interest to the member groups. We’ve seen great success with the modified format and it has even increased participation and frequency of interaction amongst the peer networks. We plan to continue many of these new offerings, even after reconvening again in person for results conferences.
