DESCRIPTION:A grid modernization journey may be wide-scoped or narrow\, fas
 t-paced or gradual with incremental changes -- but as with any journey\, i
 t is important to have a vision for where are you going and what your targ
 ets are. Without some kind of vision\, even a blurry one\, how will you kn
 ow when you have arrived at your destination? Grid modernization is not a 
 project that has a beginning date and finish date. It is an overarching vi
 sion of the future that is implemented in increments\, through multiple we
 ll-defined projects. The projects are your building blocks\, your bricks a
 long the path and you have to align them some in parallel\, some interdepe
 ndent and some independent. To be successful\, grid modernization must cha
 llenge - and most likely will - change how you plan\, design\, engineer\, 
 operate and maintain your system. It must be agile and flexible – which 
 is a new idea for many utilities\, and may feel like a risk\n\nSpeaker(s):

  modernization journey may be wide-scoped or narrow\, fast-paced or gradua
 l with incremental changes -- but as with any journey\, it is important to
  have a vision for where are you going and what your targets are. Without 
 some kind of vision\, even a blurry one\, how will you know when you have 
 arrived at your destination? Grid modernization is not a project that has 
 a beginning date and finish date. It is an overarching vision of the futur

  you have to align them some in parallel\, some interdependent and some in
