User Case Studies

Government Affairs Professional

Challenges Faced:

  • Has to cover a broad area of responsibilities – topically and geographically – with frequently shifting priorities
  • Expected to distill large volumes of complex information for higher ups with limited time and competing priorities
  • Too much to cover, concerned over what gets missed

Eyes & Ears Benefits:

  • Eyes & Ears does the legwork for them, freeing up large chunks of time otherwise spend reviewing, compiling and distilling information to communicate to colleagues, leaving more time to influence or react
  • Better coverage, increased effectiveness.
  • Improves turnaround time to research, distill and communicate to colleagues
  • Assuages concerns that they’ll miss something important.
  • Reduces burnout

Commercial Development Professional

Challenges Faced:

  • Get paid for achieving commercial objectives and evaluated on success in accomplishing those objectives
  • Also expected to keep track of and be aware of all the regulation, legislative, regulatory and market activity and drivers impacting their efforts
  • The above two objectives are in tension, and their ‘day job’ usually wins out… meaning they can’t keep up with things they need to know, and worry about what they’ve missed, and lose lots of time taking away from their primary responsibilities

Eyes & Ears Benefits:

  • Time is one thing that is in short supply. Eyes & Ears creates time…. Time otherwise spent tracking what we do, which can be redirected to what you get paid to do
  • Helps them stay on top of timely legislative, policy, and regulatory updates as well as competitor context, giving them a competitive edge
  • Assuages concerns that they’ll miss something important

How We Do It

SEA Staff Expert Research and Analysis

SEA launched Eyes & Ears in 2007. SEA’s Eyes & Ears staff collectively has over 100 years of industry experience.

Market Analysis

SEA continuously performs market fundamentals analysis in the markets we cover. We have to know it all, and market modeling informs us of what’s most impactful, and what’s not, to help us prioritize information for you.

Consulting Work

We’re involved in much of what we cover, bringing us close to the details.

Advisory Groups, Committees, Industry Orgs

Of course, we participate in and follow most of these.

Extensive Network

With 23 years in business as the first renewable energy focused advisory firm in the Northeast, we’ve accumulated a huge network that extends our reach.

Proactive Gap Assessment

Since the start, if we ever miss something we thought we should have followed, we’ll put in place a process to make sure we never miss the topic and source again. (after doing this for so long, we don’t miss much!)

Our Subscribers

If they identify something in scope that they want to make sure we cover, they’ll alert us so we can save them the time and so the analysis for them.

Review Filings, Orders, Legislation & Web Sources

And, of course, we scrape all the obvious places… but don’t stop there.
