The BFY team provided a mixture of hands on delivery expertise working with middle management, as well as contributing to strategic thinking with the senior team needed to build our Operating Model and enduring capability. Their access to external insight both from the industry and at customer level was invaluable.
Transformation
Empowering you for long-term success
Change is key to the success of any business. Markets, regulations, and internal demands are constantly evolving, and there is a constant need to adapt. Deciding when and where to take action is just one side of the battle. What follows is a highly complex journey with its own unique challenges, which can be the difference between achieving long term benefit and not, if handled poorly. This is where insight from real experience can be invaluable, and our experts have plenty to offer.
At BFY, we can help you to unlock the benefits of transformational change. This means staying ahead of the competition, while delivering positive outcomes for your business and customers. Our expertise covers a broad range of transformation initiatives, offering real-world experience to help you overcome your biggest challenges.
We can help with:
- Fundamentally improving longer term servicing performance
- Reducing attrition
- Increasing employee engagement
- Reducing the change curve impact
- Outsourcing well and maximising value
- Scoping for and delivering customer migrations
- Delivering operational cost savings
- Programme and project management for your critical transformation projects
Experience that helps you to pre-empt your challenges
Delivering change can be daunting – it doesn’t need to be. Transformation projects often start with good intentions, coming unstuck when unexpected problems arise, and delay the delivery of positive outcomes. But what happens when you spot these obstacles earlier, and face them head-on, with practical solutions? Progress accelerates, teams become stronger, and exceptional results can be achieved.
A proper plan, delivered by experienced leaders who’ve ‘got the t-shirt’, can help to ensure that uncertainty doesn’t translate into underachievement. Our experts have already gone the distance when it comes to transformation. We offer a unique perspective on the challenges that can arise, and how they can be managed proactively, leveraging our experience to accelerate your journey towards positive change. By embedding ourselves within your team, we ensure that you’re fully equipped to deliver on your immediate goals, while also setting you up for enduring success on any future transformation projects.

Our Impact
Identifying ~£7m benefit for meter operator in readiness for MHHS
Our transformation team identified opportunities for ~£7m in benefit through cost reduction, revenue upside, and offshoring efficiencies for a meter operator.
Avoiding up to ~£60m lost sales value in system migration for energy supplier
We helped a large supplier to mitigate a potential ~£60m loss in SME energy sales, through the delivery of a robust migration framework.
Debt improvements through organisational design for a large supplier
We supported a large energy supplier with improving their debt book performance, after our Debt Maturity Assessment highlighted gaps in their ways of working and organisational design. Over a six-month period, we delivered a series of improvements to the supplier’s processes, also enhancing their ability to manage performance internally.

Our Insights
MHHS could trigger ~£200m spike in physical meter read costs for suppliers
With just over half of meters operating in smart mode and many suppliers behind on installation targets, physical meter read costs are set to spike when MHHS goes live. The reform will empower customers to reduce bills, by aligning consumption with cheaper, greener energy - but significant progress is needed to ensure these benefits are widely accessible.
Adapting universal service agents for an evolving energy sector
The universal agent model offers huge potential - but with decarbonisation, digitalisation, and decentralisation reshaping the energy sector, making it work is more complex than ever. By upskilling agents, integrating AI, and streamlining processes, companies can future-proof their approach and gain a competitive edge.
