NIPCO, a generation and transmission cooperative supplying power to seven distribution co-ops and more than 30,000 members, needed a clear plan to navigate industry changes. Paulsen helped bring leadership together to identify key challenges, prioritize opportunities, and develop a roadmap for the future.
Listening to Leadership
To get a complete picture, Paulsen conducted one-on-one interviews with NIPCO’s executive team and used its FOCUS platform to gather anonymous input from board members, staff, and leadership. This process encouraged open, honest discussions and helped surface the most pressing issues facing the co-op.
Defining Priorities
The conversations centered on the biggest factors shaping NIPCO’s future, like shifts in energy generation, evolving regulations, and workforce development. Leadership worked together to define what matters most and how to prepare for what’s ahead.
Outcome: Turning Insights into Action
The result was a 12-month action plan with clear steps to address top priorities, set goals, and commit resources. With a shared vision and a practical roadmap, NIPCO is better positioned to adapt and continue delivering reliable power to its members.
