The AM IQ can help you establish your baseline.\u00a0 Once you have an understanding of what you are already accomplishing, your utility can decide to continue to work in areas with existing knowledge, work in an area where not much effort has been invested, or do a bit of both.\u00a0 Starting small and growing from what you learn along the way is best.\u00a0 These resources can help you
