Selected slides from a talk I gave in Manchester around Low Carbon Economy and Business, particulary. . My central themes were around the macro environment pushing low-carbon business to the bottom of the to-do list and the cultural barriers that you can hit when looking for behavioural changes. Have added some top tips and learning at the end. Please note that slide 2 has a profanity on it. I use this for impact, please turn away if you are easily offended!

Editor's Notes
- In order to achieve these company targets each department makes its own contribution by setting objectives that are relevant to it’s operation. For example, in the Business Management team they will be working towards a DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) of 20 days, which means keeping tight control on how much our customers owe us at any one time, ensuring we have sufficient cash flow for the business to operate efficiently. In a business where the industry average DSO is 45 to 60 days, this is just one demonstration of our financial excellence. In the call centre, where waiting times are important to satisfy our customers, the target will be a telephone answer rate of greater than 95% - and with an average of 480 calls coming into us each day, this will be evidence of our commitment to ethical excellence. And in the Operations areas we will be aiming for a 98% service level on all outbound deliveries, and with an average of 95,000 items handled each week, we can be proud of our operational excellence if we achieve this target. These and all of the other objectives and KPIs that apply to your department will be discussed with you, and a summary of progress will be published on Livewire in the coming months.
