Two utilities, doing the work

Plenty of utilities have tried personas and watched them stall. Personas and customer segments turn account data into groups of real people your teams can picture, plan for, and reach. TECO Energy and CPS Energy are both putting them to work. Amy Lester, Shakedra Peurrung, and Arnold Santayana will share how they got started, and what they're learning.

Why personas stall

Most utilities have plenty of customer data. Fewer turn it into people their teams can picture.

The conversation covers what personas and segments solve for, what they reveal about customers, and where a utility should begin.
