Preparing for AMP 8: Addressing Collective Challenges and Seizing Opportunities

As we conclude AMP 7, let's reflect on the collective challenges and opportunities confronting control rooms. With the onset of AMP 8, a new set of hurdles emerges, including climate change, environmental concerns, waste management, potential changes in government, stricter ODI targets, and rising customer demands.

However, amidst these challenges lie numerous opportunities within operational technology, smart networks, AI, and visualization tools. By adopting a holistic approach encompassing people, processes, and technology, how can we proactively position ourselves to be AMP 8 ready?
