Projects & Case Studies

Problem

Southeast Asian countries face challenges in designing effective policy frameworks that accelerate renewable energy adoption while ensuring grid stability and energy security.

Approach

Conducted comparative analysis of policy instruments across five ASEAN countries, examining feed-in tariffs, net metering, renewable portfolio standards, and auction mechanisms. Combined quantitative modeling with stakeholder interviews.

Impact

• Policy recommendations adopted by regional energy working group
• Framework used to inform national renewable energy roadmap development
• Insights shared with 200+ policymakers at regional conference

Problem

Understanding how foreign direct investment in renewable energy projects contributes to technology transfer and local capacity building remains limited in emerging economies.

Approach

Empirical study analyzing 50+ green FDI projects in Vietnam, examining technology transfer mechanisms, local partnerships, and knowledge spillovers. Used econometric modeling and case study methodology.

Impact

• Identified key factors enabling successful technology transfer
• Recommendations integrated into national FDI attraction strategy
• Published findings inform policy dialogue in multiple countries

Problem

Product teams struggled with unclear priorities, missed deadlines, and low stakeholder confidence due to traditional waterfall processes and siloed working patterns.

Approach

Led comprehensive agile transformation including scrum training, ceremony establishment, metrics framework, and cultural change management. Implemented incremental rollout with pilot teams before scaling.

Impact

• 40% improvement in delivery velocity within 6 months
• 25% reduction in production incidents through better quality practices
• Stakeholder satisfaction scores increased from 65% to 88%
• Framework scaled to 8 product teams across organization

Problem

Product decisions were based primarily on intuition rather than data, leading to misaligned features and suboptimal user experiences.

Approach

Established comprehensive analytics infrastructure, defined key metrics framework, implemented A/B testing capability, and built data-driven decision-making culture through training and workshops.

Impact

• 30% increase in key conversion metrics through data-informed optimizations
• 50% reduction in feature development waste by validating assumptions
• Cross-functional teams empowered with self-service analytics
• Best practices documented and shared across product organization

Problem

Despite favorable policy support, rooftop solar PV adoption in Vietnam plateaued, indicating non-policy barriers limiting deployment.

Approach

Mixed-methods study combining household surveys, installer interviews, and regulatory analysis to identify financial, technical, and informational barriers. Developed intervention recommendations.

Impact

• Identified financing gaps and proposed innovative payment models
• Findings informed World Bank technical assistance program
• Recommendations adopted by provincial authorities

Problem

Multiple product teams experienced delivery delays and integration issues due to poor visibility and coordination of cross-team dependencies.

Approach

Designed and implemented dependency management framework including visualization tools, coordination ceremonies, and early identification processes. Facilitated quarterly planning sessions.

Impact

• 60% reduction in dependency-related delays
• Improved predictability of cross-team deliveries
• Enhanced collaboration and communication patterns
• Framework adopted as organizational standard
