| Power Generation
Risk management is pivotal to success in the power generation industry. Risk includes design risk, political risk (e.g., nuclear bans, and bans on offshore drilling), technical risk (such as turbine failure), financial risk (e.g., exchange rates), and economic risk (demand, supply, and price fundamentals being different than forecast). The choice of tendering approach can influence the risk profile, as can the selection of partner vendors and raw material inputs. Boston Strategies International services to the power producers to manage these and ensure low long-term cost.

| Renewable Energy
Renewable energy providers deal with unique supply chain management challenges during the design, procurement, construction, and commissioning phases of major installations. First, technology is evolving rapidly, so misjudgments in specifications incur a high and long-lasting cost. Second, equipment and critical; components have long and unpredictable lead times, so sometimes orders need to be placed years in advance before complex equipment even enters production. Third, there are often few suppliers that are capable of building the newest generation of equipment. Disconnects or misjudgments at any stage can jeopardize commitments to aggressive megawatt goals, and hence revenue.

| Product and Service Suppliers
As Western manufacturers’ share of world GDP has shrunk (US manufacturing has fallen from 27% to 10% of GDP, and another 7% could go off-shore), most western manufacturers have reassessed their competitive strategies. One of BSI’s thought leadership studies recommended that Western manufacturers:
- Invest in production and sales in emerging economies
- Differentiate by layering value-added services to achieve customer loyalty and feedback
- Build a strong engineering organization to differentiate on high quality
- Set pricing in recognition of the premium offering
- Offshore or outsource non-strategic activities to low-cost countries
BSI's service offering helps both manufacturers and service providers adapt and thrive in the new global economy.
