Internationaal gezien lopen we in Nederland met veel dingen voorop. Helaas geldt dit niet altijd voor kwaliteit van onze dienstverlening. In ranglijstjes zitten we hierbij vaak in de middenmoot of nog lager. Wie kent niet de frustraties van dure 0900-nummers, eindeloze pogingen om een televisie- of telefoonabonnement op te zeggen, patiëntenstop in de zorg, wachtlijsten of die energierekening die maar niet aangepast wordt. Helaas bevinden we ons op dit moment niet in de beste periode om eens flink in verbetering van deze kwaliteit te investeren. Toch?

A decline in output from today’s largest fields, insufficient capital investment while the oil price languishes and a resumption of spiralling oil demand in emerging markets could place major constraints on the industry. lees verder… |

Canada is an appropriate location for the energy and utility industries to consider their response to climate change. Tasked under Kyoto to cut emissions by 6% of 1990 levels, Canada has in fact seen emissions rise by a worrying 27%, reflecting the difficulty many countries have faced meeting greenhouse gas targets in recent years. But as we held our annual gathering of industry leaders at Accenture’s International Utilities and Energy Conference (IUEC) in Vancouver last week, the mood was positive on various climate change fronts. 80 of the world’s leading utilities and energy executives joined us, itself an indication of the seriousness with which the sector is responding. lees verder… |
