Balancing Energy and the Environment
Room: 201B ~ 10:45AM - 12:15PM (Friday, March 05, 2010)
| The attendee will leave this session with a clear understanding of the inter-relationship of Energy Optimization, Operational Excellence and Environmental Stewardship, and how it is really possible to have a balanced approach that fits into any budget. The attendees will learn the key steps to building a balanced plan and gain clarity in regard to a brand neutral approach to innovation and improvement. Objective 1 Energy…..Let's stop talking about it and take action. Attendees will learn 3 easy take-a-ways that they can implement immediately and will have short term impact on their business. 1) Build a baseline, 2) Create a future look, 3) Prioritize a plan based on current fiscal needs. Objective 2 Operations…..Recognize that sometimes the right answer is close to home. Attendees will leave with a clear and simple process to access their current base of operations and be able to quickly develop and implement a plan for improvement and integration. Objective 3 Environment….Realization of a 2 path process to understanding and building real success around an environmental plan. Attendees will leave with clarity around 2 key points. First the issues around regulation and the negative impact this can have on a business and the best way top build a plan to avoid unnecessary costs and expenditures. Second is the value gained from a employing a marketing approach and the leverage gained from an environmental focus to your tenants and to the community. How As a highly accomplished speaker and an expert across multiple disciplines Scott will employ a technique of audience engagement and involvement in this presentation. Setting up concepts and issues and then drawing the attendees into the discussion with a clear and concise wrap up around each section. The strategy for key learning is that while the innovation comes from the presenter the attendees feel more secure in that they are also learning from each other. The open environment allows attendees to realize that they are not alone and many others face the same issues. Scott will use a PowerPoint slide deck as the foundation for visual representation and a workbook handout will be provided to each attendee.
