01
Executive Alignment
Participants: Executives, sponsor, operations, planning, IT/OT, cybersecurity, finance
Outputs: Strategic drivers, business outcomes, scope, sponsorship, success criteria, and governance direction.
TwinGrid Workshop Services
Structured workshops for utility digital twin decisions
TwinGrid workshops create a controlled decision process before architecture, procurement, vendor selection, implementation, validation, cybersecurity approval, user adoption, and sustainment.
Workshop visual
TwinGrid workshop sequence
The workshop service guides utilities from executive alignment and problem discovery through architecture, sourcing, RFP preparation, validation, cybersecurity approval, adoption, and sustainment.
Workshop sequence
Ten workshops from executive alignment to sustainment
The sequence avoids technology-first scope definition and makes every requirement traceable to a problem, use case, data dependency, system dependency, or acceptance criterion.
02
Operations and Planning Pain Points
Participants: Operators, planners, outage managers, protection engineers, asset managers
Outputs: Problem register, pain-point map, operational priorities, planning priorities, asset and model issues.
03
Use Case Prioritization
Participants: Business owners, technical leads, user representatives, finance
Outputs: Use-case catalogue, scoring matrix, phase-one candidates, dependency map, initial benefit hypothesis.
04
Data and Model Assessment
Participants: GIS, ADMS, EMS, OMS, SCADA, AMI, planning, asset, data, IT
Outputs: Data inventory, model inventory, source-of-truth map, data quality gap register, model quality gap register.
05
Integration and Architecture
Participants: IT, OT, enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, vendors, system owners
Outputs: Logical architecture, integration map, interface requirements, cybersecurity zones, architecture decision log.
06
Roadmap and Sourcing
Participants: Executives, procurement, architecture, finance, business owners
Outputs: Implementation roadmap, phase-one scope, buy-build-integrate matrix, procurement strategy.
07
RFP Development
Participants: Procurement, legal, IT, OT, cybersecurity, business owners
Outputs: RFP requirements, vendor response templates, evaluation matrix, demonstration scenarios, acceptance criteria.
08
Implementation Governance
Participants: PMO, vendor, business owners, technical leads, workstream leads

Outputs: Validation plan, cybersecurity approval plan, test plan, go-live criteria, sign-off matrix.
10
Adoption and Sustainment
Participants: End users, training, support, IT/OT, business owners, super users
Outputs: Training plan, operating model, support model, sustainment roadmap, ownership model, benefits tracking plan.
Formats
Workshop delivery options
Accelerated format
3–4 weeks. Best for early strategy, business case development, readiness scans, or pre-RFP planning when internal alignment is already strong.
Standard format
6–8 weeks. Best for most utilities preparing a structured digital twin program, architecture direction, and procurement package.
Deep-dive format
10–12 weeks. Best for large utilities with complex IT/OT environments, multiple business units, major procurement, and enterprise architecture scope.
