The team with the best idea, as assessed by voting & judging panels will be recognized & rewarded. The idea can potentially feed next year's business strategic planning ideas in the GPB. The Challenge • 6 Problem statements will be published for the challenge • These challenges could be either solved with Technology and/or Process solutions • Each problem statement will have an IT owner identified • 1-2 Q&A sessions will be held to address questions related to the overall challenge and specific to problem statements, if any • Everyone in Energy IM can participate….Participation can be at 3 levels • As part of a team submitting a solution.
