Overview
At DTE Electric, the work centered on making operational information easier to trust, easier to maintain, and easier to act on. The point was not more reporting for its own sake. It was stronger decision support built on cleaner inputs and more reliable workflows.
What changed

Why it mattered
- Over $1M was reallocated annually from O&M to Capital through staking strategy and governance redesign
- Recurring reporting became less brittle and more auditable
- Leaders gained clearer visibility for planning and prioritization
- Standardized reporting and cleaner source inputs made planning conversations more credible and repeatable
