Through the years of consulting with Business Owners and Executives of Fortune 500 companies, what we’ve found is, it’s not the Business Owner, Executive, or Organization that is failing.

It's the lack of a comprehensive and agile Action Plan that is.

And without a plan in place, it’s hard to measure the right metrics for day-to-day success.

You can absolutely have the business/organization/team of your dreams, without having to sacrifice your sanity to do so. But it’s going to take putting in place the right systems and operational infrastructure to make it happen. We have developed a 5-part Operations Framework that we use with our clients to align their business goals to their day to day operations, allowing them to Plan, Grow, and Scale in a sustainable manner! It empowers business owners to put in place the infrastructure and systems needed for their organizations. And once in place, they can step away from the confusion of the day to day to-dos and start to look at the big picture.

The Maryland Board of Public Works today unanimously approved a construction package for major terminal improvements at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to accommodate growth and enhance the air passenger experience. The Board, chaired at Wednesday’s session by Lt. Governor Boyd K. Rutherford sitting in for Governor Larry Hogan, and with Treasurer Dereck Davis and Comptroller Peter Franchot, authorized a $332.5 million contract for the A/B Connector and Baggage Handling System Improvement at BWI Marshall. The multi-year construction project is the largest terminal enhancement ever for the airport.

“This significant investment at Maryland’s BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport supports trade and tourism, creates jobs and will improve the passenger experience for decades to come,” said Governor Hogan. “This is another example of how we’re ensuring BWI Marshall remains a convenient, efficient airport for passengers and a major economic generator for the state and region.”

BGE is committed to working with all stakeholders to meet the state’s climate goals as required in the Climate Solutions Now Act of 2022. BGE operations are central to meeting the requirements to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2045, and the interim target of 60% reduction in GHG emissions by 2031.

E3 Consulting recently completed separate studies for the State of Maryland and for BGE that show there are multiple pathways to net-zero by 2045. The most recent study, released on 10/7/2022 which can be found at https://www.ethree.com/e3-releases-integrated-decarbonization-study-for-baltimore-gas-and-electric/, is one that builds upon the prior work that E3 conducted for the state and examines the role that an integrated energy system (gas and electric delivery infrastructure) can play in assisting the state in attaining its decarbonization objects.

Each pathway studied by E3 requires significant electrification, but a significant finding of the analysis revealed that scenarios that rely on an integrated gas and electric system result in economy-wide savings, average customer cost savings, lower risks, and fewer customer disruptions.

Members may post job openings to the board for free. 

Weekly Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Awareness Conversations

Several months ago, Forbes editorial leadership updated its style guide, capitalizing the letter B in Black, underscoring that Black is a group of people, not a color. Today, we’re going a step further: Forbes will no longer use the word minority to identify or classify races of people.

This wasn’t a hard decision. First, non-whites are already a majority of the world’s population. Second, in my lifetime, people of color will compose a majority in America. Finally, as any Black or Brown person will tell you (and as echoed in the words of Prince), there is nothing minor about us.

There is an old proverb that talks about tying an elephant to a stake as a baby so that it cannot run away. As the elephant grows, the stake does not, yet the elephant still believes it cannot remove itself from the stake. The elephant believes it is too weak or unable to explore beyond its immediate surroundings. It never tries because it’s already convinced that it cannot.
