DECONSTRUCTED MATRIX 3. External Industry insight Competition Size 4. Internal Values of business Position in market Core competencies These are potential key issues

DECONSTRUCTED MATRIX 5. Money Financial standing Key metrics Any issues? 6. Trend Industry as a whole Market trends Future technologies These are potential key issues

PART 1: THE MATRIX 1. Case question: use S.M.A.R.T 2. Internal, External, $s, and Trends AECT ownership; data use; fixed margins; distributed energy 3. Customers? “How can Vector invest in new technology, and grow customer engagement to stay relevant with consumers, and maintain steady dividends of 20C per share by 2020?” End-consumers of electricity 4. Competitors? None in electricity, some in LPG, many in distributed energy 5. Stakeholders? AECT, Govt, generators, retailers

KEY ISSUES IssueMeaningImpact Generate as many as possible, discuss then choose two key issues

PART 2: STRATEGY 1. What we suggest you do Explain the actions they should take 2. Why we suggest you do this Relate back to Case Questions and Key Issues 3. Ensure the strategy is clear If the presentation ends at strategy, the judges should know what you intend to do

PART 3: IMPLEM AND FINANCES 1. How is the strategy going to be implemented? What resources, relationships, organisational changes need to take place? 2.

ENGINEERING SPECIFIC COMPONENTS The case will feature technical products and/or services: Analyse the strengths and weaknesses of these Recommend the product types or technologies you think will be the best choice based off your technical analysis

ENGINEERING SPECIFIC COMPONENTS Is distributed energy going to take over? Should Vector be investing in solar power? If so, do they invest in panel technology, distribution technology, or complementary services?

ENGINEERING SPECIFIC COMPONENTS What is going to happen to the market for natural gas? Should Vector be winding down gas operations, or finding alternative suppliers?

ENGINEERING SPECIFIC COMPONENTS Is the switch to Smartmeters inevitable? How can the design of Smartmeters be improved to provide the most use to the energy industry, and its consumers? How should Smartmeters interact with Smartphone applications?
