One of the biggest challenges any organization faces is how to get their staff, their customers, the clients, to change behaviors. How refreshing is it to hear about how a major utility company and a very successful non-profit have partnered together, using a “Train the Trainer” approach to educate adults to perform simple behavioral changes to help maintain comfort levels and reduce energy consumption. How do they do it? What kinds of behaviors do they target? And why in the heck would a utility company want to get their customers to reduce energy in the first place – when that’s how they generate revenue? Join me to learn the answers to these questions and to find out what kind of impact they are having with making this program a win/win. This show made possible due to the generous support of Tucson Electric Power Company.
