Dealing with Part-pipe Investments
At the October 2022 PIPES session, Northern Gas Networks (NGN) covered part-pipe investments that have caused issues when trying to create investments. NGN gave a short demonstration of their workaround, and described part-pipe investments in more detail. We also had a roundtable discussion on whether the wider PIPES group also experienced this issue. Thanks to this discussion, the group is now working toward submitting an official feature request to the Copperleaf product team!
Speaker:
Ian Coates (NGN)
Dashboards and Visualizations with TVA and Anglian Water
In August 2022, the PIPES session featured TVA who shared the Executive Dashboard prototype being developed through the Copperleaf Labs program. We then had Anglian Water share some Power BI dashboards they’re currently using, to demonstrate the power of data visualization.
Speakers:
Mark Tuggle (TVA), Liz Cornelius (Anglian Water)
What is Value?
Tough question, right? It depends on your perspective. How does everyone use value frameworks to support decision making when stakeholders may have different (or even opposing) views on value? The Enbridge team shared some thought-provoking ideas, then opened the floor for discussion.
Speakers:
Catherine McCowan (Enbridge), Pierce Jones (Enbridge)
