Digital Innovation For Better Utilities With Gabe Bolas Dec 01, 2022

Though they may not be as quick to pivot as other industries, the utilities are doing their best to keep up with the digital revolution.

In this conversation they touch on topics such as the Automated Metering System, Internet of Things, building a KUB app, the CTO role and the inevitable rise of the internet as the fifth utility.

A great city manager who pushes its city forward brings innovation at the forefront of what they do. Greg McClain, City Manager for the City of Maryville, Tennessee, is nothing short of being innovative.

In this episode, he joins Abhijit Verekar to tell us more about what innovation means to a city manager and how it gets translated into the citizens’ daily lives. He takes us back from the beginning of that fiber transformation in Alcoa to looking beyond and translating a bigger vision to the citizens, partners, teams, and more. He also shares how he cuts through the noise of vendors, how he keeps his teams accountable, and what his most impactful project is in terms of technology. Ultimately, innovation is all about doing what is beneficial for the community, and Greg shows us why it should be the driver of any public servant.
