BVC.asia Trusted by MEA to Lead the “MEA SMART People” Project – Empowering Talent Towards Global Utility Standards

BVC.asia has been entrusted by the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) to drive the “MEA SMART People” initiative — a strategic project aimed at enhancing the capabilities of MEA People to meet the standards of leading global smart utilities.

This transformative program is a cornerstone in MEA’s long-term vision to build an organization that excels in innovation, service excellence, and workforce readiness. The “MEA SMART People” project focuses on holistic development, covering areas such as leadership, communication, digital adaptation, and progressive organizational culture.

“We are honored to be chosen by MEA for this pivotal initiative. BVC.asia is committed to being a thinking partner and helping MEA’s people embrace the future with competence and confidence.”
— BVC.asia Executive Representative, Panit Thanya.

BVC.asia has collaborated closely with MEA leadership to design and deliver tailored learning experiences that align with the organization’s strategic goals and operational context.

To successfully elevate the capabilities of its workforce to a world-class standard, a structured, globally benchmarked approach is essential. The process begins with identifying and studying successful models from global metropolitan utilities, particularly in cities renowned for innovation and efficiency such as Singapore, Tokyo, and New York. These leading utilities offer valuable examples in areas such as Digital Utility Transformation, Workforce Upskilling and Reskilling, and the cultivation of a Customer-Centric Culture. By analyzing their strategies, it becomes clear that true transformation lies not just in technology adoption but in people readiness and cultural alignment. Once the exemplars are selected, the next step is to analyze their best practices and decode their success factors in detail. For example, global utilities have implemented robust Leadership Pipeline systems to ensure long-term continuity and strength in management. They have also embraced Agile Working Cultures, which allow for faster adaptation to market and technological shifts. In terms of technical capability, many employ a structured comparison of Strategic Competencies and Core Functional Knowledge to ensure their workforce is not only technically skilled but also strategically aligned with long-term organizational goals. These principles must then be carefully compared against the local organizational context to tailor an effective capability enhancement strategy suitable for the Thai utility sector.

Building on this analysis, organizations can then move forward by developing a capability-building framework aligned with global standards. A proven and effective model for workforce development is the 70:20:10 approach, which recommends that 70% of employee learning comes from hands-on job experiences, 20% from learning through others (e.g., coaching and mentoring), and 10% from formal training programs. This model ensures learning is continuous, embedded in daily work, and enriched by both structured instruction and collaborative environments. Complementing this is the design of a Learning Journey that aligns with a clearly defined Competency Map, tailored to different roles and growth stages. Central to this journey are future-oriented concepts such as Digital Literacy, Data Thinking, and a Sustainability Mindset, which are essential competencies for modern utility employees operating in an increasingly digital and environmentally conscious world.

To ensure that development initiatives are producing measurable results, it is crucial to establish Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Talent Indicators that are benchmarkable. Some globally recognized indicators include the Digital Maturity Index, which assesses how well individuals and teams apply digital tools and systems in their roles; the Leadership Readiness Score, which evaluates the strength and preparedness of leadership pipelines; and the Service Excellence Index, which monitors the effectiveness and customer-centricity of frontline operations. These indicators provide data-driven insights into where development efforts are succeeding and where further investment is needed.

Finally, sustainable transformation requires not only systems and training but also strong internal communication and the cultivation of a future-ready culture. Organizations must embed the concept of “SMART People” into everyday narratives, encouraging a shared vision that connects individual development to broader organizational goals. This includes consistent messaging from leadership, storytelling that celebrates progress and impact, and initiatives that reinforce new values and behaviors. A visible shift in culture—where learning, agility, and innovation are embraced at every level—becomes the foundation for long-term success. By integrating these five pillars—global benchmarking, strategic practice adaptation, competency-aligned frameworks, measurable outcomes, and cultural alignment—organizations can confidently uplift their people to operate at par with the best in the world.

“Values”, Sensitive Matters CEOs Should Aware

The COVID crisis has forced employees and executives to work from distinct locations, and employees start learning to work with a virtual team. Many corporate values focus on building beliefs in everyone in the company and tending to make decisions in the same direction to create consistency in work as well as to make it easier to manage change.

“Change happens faster than managing organizational change.”

Amornrat Suksayan

The key factor that makes corporate values is not just propaganda for leading organizational change or just a symbol of mass beliefs. But it is a crucial tool that leaders must apply by looking at the following “post-Covid” variables:

  1. Hybrid Workplace: Today’s workers don’t come together in real places every day. They have another private world that may shape their beliefs. In the past, we may only see differences in ethnicity or place of residence or professional beliefs, but today, their “family” is clearly contributing to their personal beliefs.
  2. Gender Diversity, Personal Taste and Self Confident: Preserving the individual right to believe something is an increasingly important concern for the new generation. Self-confidence is forged by a more expressive framework of self-confidence than any generation. Strategies for communicating values and making beliefs without coercion are especially important.
  3. Rapid business expansion or reduction: Core values in Asia emphasize stability and trust in the organization. “Unity” is the heart of success in many organizations. The volatility of mergers and acquisitions or even business dissolution/expansion creates situations that are contrary to the values that leaders are trying to refer to.
  4. Multiple Core Values: Employees in a temporary contract that hold the values of the parent organization.

Transformational trends require organizations to share common values that enable them to cope with business challenges in a way that people in their organizations feel empowered and believe they are always doing good for the organization.

However, having shared values ​​seems difficult because the above factors clearly indicate that employees value individual values ​​over shared values ​​of the organization. The key is that leaders do not view corporate values as corporate values but view them as personal values of everyone.
