At Italgas, digital transformation has been seen as one of the main facilitators of the energy transition; a key factor that has involved assets, processes, workforce, and technical innovation, with the goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency and reliability. In concomitance with this process, a people reskilling plan was launched in order to create the best conditions for effective reception of the new operating modes.So far, the journey Italgas made can be summarized into three steps:· The trigger for the journey to start;· Foundations building - enabling the capability transformation to start;· Agile & fail-fast way of working set up -to transform capabilities on core\priority areas.The triggerThe trigger for the journey to start was the regulator's request to the largest gas distribution companies to start replacing AGILE & FAIL-FAST WAY OF WORKING SET UPMarco Barra CaraccioloIN MY OPINION
