A large Midwest utility partnered with Logic20/20 to move beyond early AI experimentation and establish a repeatable, governed approach to building and scaling AI agents. Within six months, our team built and deployed 24 production-ready agents across business functions, while helping expand adoption through structured training, reusable development frameworks, and ongoing support.

We brought our expertise in

  • AI strategy and use case prioritization
  • Microsoft Copilot Studio and enterprise AI platforms
  • Agent design and lifecycle management
  • Governance frameworks and quality standards
  • Workflow optimization in regulated utility environments
  • Training, enablement, and co-development

Delivering energy across a complex, highly regulated network

Our client generates, transmits, and distributes electricity and natural gas to millions of customers across several states. The organization manages a diverse energy portfolio and extensive transmission and distribution infrastructure, while advancing long-term investments in grid modernization and cleaner energy sources within a highly regulated operating environment.

Scaling AI beyond early experimentation

The utility had already adopted Copilot and begun developing initial AI use cases, but those efforts did not consistently improve how work moved across the organization.

Core processes, including regulatory filings, project delivery, and field operations, still relied on manual coordination, fragmented data, and repeated validation steps. Teams generated insights faster, but execution timelines remained largely unchanged.

Several challenges limited progress:

  • AI use cases were evaluated inconsistently, without a standard method to prioritize based on value or feasibility.
  • Agent development lacked defined ownership, lifecycle stages, and quality controls.
  • Teams followed different approaches, leading to rework and uneven results.
  • Workforce interest in AI was growing, but teams lacked a clear path to build and scale solutions within their workflows.

Building a repeatable model for AI delivery

Logic20/20 worked with the utility to embed AI directly into high-impact workflows, focusing on reducing delays in data assembly, validation, and cross-team coordination.

We established a repeatable delivery model that aligned AI development with business execution.

Creating a clear path from idea to deployment

We designed a structured intake and prioritization process that evaluates AI use cases against consistent criteria, including business value, feasibility, data readiness, and scalability. This approach aligned AI investments with operational priorities and helped teams focus on higher-value opportunities.

Standardizing development and governance

We defined how agents are built, reviewed, and deployed across the organization. The model includes ownership roles, lifecycle stages, and quality standards, along with governance guardrails to improve consistency and reduce risk as adoption scales.

Accelerating development with reusable assets

We delivered templates, architecture frameworks, design patterns, and reusable components that gave teams a practical starting point for building agents. These assets reduced the need to rebuild solutions from scratch and enabled faster, more consistent development across functions.

Enabling adoption through hands-on delivery

We paired solution delivery with workforce enablement. Through workshops, build-a-thons, and co-development sessions, teams built agents within their own workflows. Ongoing support, including office hours and shared resources, reinforced adoption and helped teams continue development independently.

From isolated agents to coordinated, production-ready delivery

Within six months, Logic20/20 built and deployed 24 production-ready AI agents, while supporting the development of more than 20 additional agents across the organization.

Additional key outcomes include:

  • Reduced manual effort in processes that require data reconciliation and cross-team coordination
  • Accelerated execution across regulatory, PMO, HR, and field operations workflows
  • Trained more than 120 employees in AI agent development and usage
  • Achieved a 70 percent reported improvement in participant skill levels
  • Increased the number of AI solutions delivered as teams built and extended agents within their own workflows
  • Reduced rework and variability by establishing a more consistent path from idea to deployment

AI is now embedded within workflows where work previously slowed due to fragmented data and cross-team dependencies, allowing teams to move from idea to deployment with fewer delays.
