What type of technology are you in right now?

Does your team do implementations or strategy more?

Implementation heavy team: Pick up knowledge on the various techs your team usually sells, how the SDLC works for them etc. Get a good grasp of the timelines for various components/challenges etc.

Strategy I’m not as familiar with unfortunately. My best guess would be do market research on what type of solutions are out there in the energy sector, and see how they compare to what’s being used in adjacent sectors.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out.
