The Scaling Challenge

​

Company GHI had spent five years developing an effective model for community solar installations that provided renewable energy access to low-income households. Their approach combined technical excellence with deep community engagement, resulting in high customer satisfaction and strong project outcomes. However, the organization struggled to scale their impact due to the complexity of replicating their successful approach across new communities.

​

Each new project required extensive setup work: creating project plans, establishing community partnerships, coordinating with installation contractors, managing financial tracking systems, and ensuring compliance with local regulations. The manual nature of this setup process limited how many projects the organization could launch simultaneously, creating a bottleneck that prevented them from serving all the communities requesting their services.

​

Project Templates and Resource Management

​

After implementing Twigma, Company GHI developed comprehensive project templates that captured their proven methodology. These templates included task lists, timeline frameworks, stakeholder communication plans, and budget structures. When launching a new community solar project, the team could instantiate a template and have 80% of the project structure in place immediately, requiring only customization for local specifics.

​

The resource management dashboard provided visibility into staff capacity across all projects, helping leadership make informed decisions about when to launch new initiatives. They could see which team members had bandwidth to take on additional responsibilities and which projects might need temporary contractor support. This level of clarity had been impossible to achieve with their previous spreadsheet-based approach.
