Most strategists should excel at:

• Establishing long-range objectives and specifying the strategies and actions to achieve them.
• Analyzing information and evaluating results to choose the best solution and solve problems.
• Developing specific goals and plans to prioritize, organize, and accomplish your work.
• Scheduling events, programs, and activities, as well as the work of others.

Innovators will usually have four main goals:

• Developing or creating new applications, relationships, systems, or products.
• Providing creative ideas or artistic contributions.
• Keeping up-to-date technically and applying new knowledge to your job.
• Benchmarking, experimenting and testing novel approaches to solving problems.

• Measuring energy usage with devices such as data loggers, universal data recorders, light meters, sling psychrometers, psychrometric charts, flue gas analyzers, amp probes, watt meters, volt meters, thermometers, or utility meters.
• Inspecting or evaluating building envelopes, mechanical systems, electrical systems, or processing systems for determining the energy consumption of each system.
• Preparing audit reports containing energy analysis results or recommendations for energy cost savings.
• Analyzing energy bills, including utility rates or tariffs, to gathering historical energy usage data.
• Analyzing technical feasibility of energy saving measures, using knowledge of engineering, energy production, energy using, construction, maintenance, system operation, or processing systems.
• Calculating potential for energy savings.
• Collecting and analyzing field data related to energy usage.
• Comparing existing energy consumption levels to normative data.
