New and existing challenges are reshaping the water sector. Utility management is now required to plan for unprecedented scenarios while navigating a changing workforce, but where should leaders focus?
Explore the 5 fundamentals of water utilities being fit-for-future — innovation, resilience, Intelligent Water, advanced asset management, and workforce programs — and the common thread woven through each: people.
Building upon a focus on people, Arcadis is proud to be a founding sponsor and a 2021 WEFTEC program sponsor of InFLOW (Introducing Future Leaders to Opportunities in Water), a program that introduces scholars to different aspects of the water sector and potential career paths in water.
