Wind Turbine Services SPRAT Qualified   Wind Turbine Rescue and Maintenance CALL PFS The Value of Wind Turbine Maintenance - Equipment or facilities directly connected to the IESO-controlled grid have certain training and maintenance requirements that must be met. A preventative maintenance program can be provided to include non-destructive testing of all key components through thermal imaging. Working from height for a construction or maintenance project, you need to ensure you have a plan to get injured workers to the ground safely. Relying on 911 is not a very effective option!

Peregrine Facility Services provides that level of service for your on-site rescue needs. They have the necessary training and experience to develop site-specific rescue plans and the skills to carry out the plan from beginning to end, should it become necessary. Let your in-house staff focus their attention on the work. NOTE: Price Based on Emergency Rescue from time of Notification (hourly)

"A business' green procurement policy should strive to purchase products and services that have less negative impact on the environment. Environmental considerations forms part of the evaluation and selection criteria, which could cover, depending on goods and services to be purchased, their manufacture, transport, packaging and disposal."

"Sustainable Development" was the key concept of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, as governments and international organizations committed themselves to take action to protect the environment as in integral part of long-term economic development. Environmentally-responsible consumption and production is seen as an essential part of the strategy to improve environmental quality, reduce poverty and bring about economic growth, with resultant improvements in health, working conditions, and sustainability, and is highlighted in Chapter 4 of Agenda 21. In particular, organizations were called upon to exercise leadership in the promotion of environmentally sound goods and services.

In many developing countries public procurement of goods and services forms the major part of government expenditure. Economic activity of such magnitude has far-reaching implications and governments, international organizations, and donors have a responsibility to take the environmental impacts of their activities into account. A move towards favoring goods and services whose manufacture, use and disposal is conducted with a view to environmental impacts not only has direct environmental benefits, but also sends a strong message to manufacturers and suppliers that the issue is taken seriously.

Since Rio, the response of the private sector has been impressive, with many multinational organizations developing effective environmental management policies. Green procurement (also called 'environmentally responsible procurement) is now no longer new to Europe, North America, and developed countries. The public sector has lagged behind somewhat, although many local authorities in developed countries have now introduced environment management systems which include procurement policies.

Two Approaches to Green Procurement

Business has evolved two approaches to integrating environmental considerations into procurement decisions. These can be termed a "Product Approach", which examines goods and services and attempts to rate them according to environmental impacts, and a "Supplier Approach", which looks at the supplier (preferably a manufacturer or service provider) and rates the organization as a whole.

Companies employ both approaches with differing degrees of thoroughness. Some devote considerable resources to environmental "policing", sending environmental auditors to carry out in-depth examinations of suppliers, operations and supplies, whilst for others it is little more than a token gesture.

A Product Approach typically uses the tools of life-cycle analysis and total cost analysis to attach an environmental rating to a proposed purchase. Supplier Approaches seek ways to rate companies and suppliers according to their overall environmental performance, typically using questionnaires and outside audits and rating systems, such as Environmental Management Systems.

Both approaches have associated advantages and disadvantages, depending on the procurement patterns of the organization involved and the degree of centralized oversight that a particular funding or UN agency wishes to exert.

Integration with existing procurement regulations

Green procurement does not seek to re-write the book on procurement, but merely to add an environmental dimension to the decision-making process. The standard purchasing criteria, of price, quality and availability, remain paramount. The environmental impacts of a good or service procured can be seen as part of the "quality" criterion.

Whilst every organization should establish a "de minimus" - a list of items which they will not purchase, green procurement should not normally be seen as being prescriptive, and restrictive to procurement staff. There will be occasions where a product's exceptionally competitive price will be an over-riding factor in a procurement decision, despite negative environmental factors. On the other hand, there will be occasions where a product's negative environmental impact, or particular environmental advantage, prove to be decisive in a procurement decision.

The importance of a green procurement policy is that procurement staff are asked to consider environmental impacts, and are allowed to make decisions accordingly. It can make a significant difference to an organization's environmental performance, as well as send a powerful message to businesses that the environment is taken seriously.

• Hiring and Recalls: While no respondents anticipated an increase in hiring in August, as of February this year, 21 percent were predicting a rise in the month ahead.
• Layoffs: Twenty-nine percent of respondents in February – the highest percentage since we started the surveys – expect layoffs to be down for the next month. This is nine percentage points higher than the second-best result of 20 percent in November 2009.
• Training Investments: As in the areas noted above, feedback from stakeholders related to anticipated training investments indicates growing positive expectations. In February, 43 percent of survey participants believed that investments in training at their companies would rise over the month to come. Again, this is the most-positive outlook we've seen since beginning this exercise.

Canada Going On-Line B2B eCcommerce B2B In Canada? Grim Statistics for businesses that don't Trade On-Line! There seems to be a prevailing attitude among Canadian business owners that the Internet will not affect their business. It is puzzling that they continue to take this stance in lieu of the evidence indicating that is in their best interest to get their business online and now! Statistics Canada reported "that the total value of private sector sales over the Internet, with or without on line payment rose dramatically in 2000, while the proportion of businesses selling on line fell. Canadian businesses received $7.2 billion in custo mer orders over the Internet in 2000, up 73.4 per cent from $4.2 billion in 1999. However, only 6 per cent of businesses reported selling goods and services on-line in 2000. These 6 per cent of businesses selling on-line accounted for one quarter of all gross business income." What was even more disturbing in the Statistics Canada report was that of the businesses that had responded to the survey for every two that had started selling over the Internet in 2000, five had stopped doing so because they couldn't see the internet trade rising. By 2009, $280 billion in goods and services were transferred in North America and, of that, only $13.6 billion was generated by Canadian businesses. Most of which were purchases by Canadians from businesses in other Countries! Why are Canadian business owners continuing to fight the Internet trend? Are they tired of the constant changes, the learning curves and the struggle to be like the Americans? Has the Internet inspired a renewed distain for our aggressive neighbors? Are commercials like "I am Canadian" and satires like Rick Mercer 's, "Talking to Americans", a result of this techno saturation backlash? Or has the Internet created a global paradigm shift that Canadians business owners are refusing to accept? In the video, The Business of Paradigms, Joel Barker said that when a paradigm shifts everyone goes back to zero. It doesn't matter that you have been successful in business for 25 years, your past success guarantees nothing. Expounding on Thomas Kuhn's theory of the paradigm and applying it to business, Barker said that it is our existing paradigm that prevents us from seeing new ideas as having extreme value. In The Structure of Scientific Revolution, published in 1962, Kuhn maintained that, contrary to popular belief; typical scientists were not objective and independent thinkers. Rather, they were conservative individuals who accepted what they have been taught and applied their knowledge to support existing theories. As a result scientists ignored new research that might threaten the existing paradigm. Barker used the example of the Swiss watchmakers to show what happens in business when people ignore a shifting paradigm. When the Swiss invented the quartz watch, the new design didn't fit with their existing idea of the way watches should be made. In fact it seemed so insignificant to the Swiss that they didn't even bother to get a patent on the design. The Japanese, on the other hand, weren't blinded by an existing paradigm and were able to see the potential of the design and manufactured the new watches. Barker reported that as a result of the paradigm shift, the Swiss watchmakers' market share fell from 80 per cent in 1968 to less than 2.1 per cent in 2008. The small window of opportunity that has existed on the Internet for the past several years is beginning to close. Every year things tighten up online and if Canadian businesses don't get moving soon it will become completely out of their reach. Several years ago it was unheard of to think of paying to get placed on a search engine, yet today most engines charge a fee. The Statistics Canada Daily reported in March 2005 that, the 56 per cent of businesses that did not buy or sell over the Internet believed that their goods or services did not lend themselves to Internet transactions. Thirty-six percent preferred to maintain their current business model while, 55% stated that they would consider but not take action. The balance did not respond. In April 2007 Forrester Research reported that 88 per cent of US businesses saw the Internet as important to their buying plans and over a quarter said they had saved money by doing business online while Canadians maintain an online B to B presence at only 14%. Business to Business (B2B) sales have been a driving force of the Internet economy. According to the US Census Bureau, in a report that came out in March, B2B sales may have accounted for 90 percent of all ecommerce activity in the US in 1999 and is expected to rise to 95 percent by 2009. By 2008, reports found that USD885 billion of manufacturing shipments were made online, while in Canada, only 16% of Canadian Business had a plan. The Forrester Research reported by February 2008, Canadian online B2B revenues would reach CAD272 billion (USD180 billion) by 2005, accounting for 18 percent of all business to business transactions. Ontario and Quebec are expected to be the leaders with transactions being made primarily in the automotive and petrochemical industry. The bad news is that Forrester also reported that only 16 percent of Canadian companies currently had a clear B2B strategy, which demonstrated that Canadian businesses fall far short of potential revenue growth. The Statistics Canada Daily reported in March that an estimated 13 million Canadians or 53 per cent of those aged 15 and over used the Internet in 2000. A further 27 percent of non-users expressed an interest in getting online. By 2009, nearly 87% of Canadian internet users have and use internet access. This clearly means that if Canadian businesses can't offer online services to Canadians they will buy their products from US businesses. "The combined forces of globalization and the Internet revolution mean all businesses will have to become e-businesses. For Canada, there is no more business as usual. The Internet revolution has changed everything - not just for dot-coms, but for all parts of the economy," John Roth, CEO of Nortel Networks stated in February. Roth co-chairs the Canadian E-Business Opportunities Roundtable, a private sector led initiative formed in 1999 to develop a strategy for accelerating Canada's participation in the Internet economy. In the March report issued by the Roundtable initiative, "A lack of information and education was stated as the number one reason that businesses did not go online." This general lack of knowledge seems to be a major problem to not only running a successful online business in Canada but to making the plunge in the first place. Even those businesses who go online don't seem to know how to market their site once they get there. Not only do the y seem unaware of the amount of traffic going to their sites but oblivious to the fact that it is critical to track this information. There seems to be a general misconception that if you put a site on the Internet that business will just happen. This is akin to opening a brick and mortar business and not doing anything to attract clientele. B2B collaboration is the next paradigm shift. If Canadians are to survive in the new global order they must open their eyes to the shift that is going on in every sector of our economy.. If they don't understand the concepts then they must make it their business to find out about them. Things are moving quickly and time is becoming a critical factor. Canada has one of the highest rates of Internet usage in the world while B2B internet usage drags the US dramatically. Furthermore, Canadians are heavy users, with around 90% of users using e-mail at least weekly. The Canadian Internet access market continues to grow strongly with over 64% of Canadians having Internet access by 2004 while nearly 87% in 2009. Canadians have not yet grasped the concept of eCommerce trading! The conservative approach of Canadians for business to business transactions via procurement, sales and trade leaves Canadians behind the "eight ball" for effective commerce trade. Current Canadian company business models often see internet business transactions as a "wait and see" issue. With this, Canadian businesses are the last to approach worldwide markets with trade and commerce. Canadians love the technology ... but can't see the forest for the trees! In addition, young Canadians are avid, experienced online users. Internet access in the workplace is beginning to catch up with very healthy rates of household connection. Canadian consumers spend above-average time online and count themselves among the world's keenest bloggers. So why does Canada continue to lag behind in some areas of online development, such as e-commerce? "E-commerce has been slow to take off in the absence of retailers and online offerings that genuinely address Canadian tastes and requirements," said Karin von Abrams, eMarketer analyst and author of the new report, Canada Internet: Users and Usage. "Moreover, Canada's mobile networks and operators are not as well prepared as they should be to supply reliable data services." Historically, workplace access to the Internet has not been nearly as common as home access in Canada, although the gap is shrinking.

Executive teams need to focus on, and distinguish between two distinctive areas of responsibility:

• Firstly, managing the day to day operations of the organization, often referred to as "business as usual" ; be it utilities, manufacturing, distribution or providing a service to existing customers

• Secondly, the Board needs to work strategically, determining what the organization must look like in the future and how it must operate in order to survive and thrive. The successful initiation, execution and completion of change programs and projects are central to achieving the "target operating model"  

It is in this second domain, namely "safety management" consulting, that an external consultant adds significant value to client outcomes.  It is often assumed that managers and staff have basic and adequate project management skills and experience.  And, with that experience, will be capable of planning and managing complex change initiatives on top of what is required of them to achieve existing goals to keep business as usual.  In fact, this working assumption by many executives results in a significant amount of wasted resources and extensive disruption to core operations. 

Safety Program and Operations managers are specialist disciplines that require a "get it done" type of individual ... a person who is capable of meeting the rigors of deadlines, the skills and methodologies required to plan and execute change initiatives with a high probability of successful outcomes such as is required with "Occupational Health & Safety System" technologies.

This gap between expectations and reality creates the market gap for Safety management consulting services by SupplyLevel Inc.

Safety Program Management, Risk Management, Issue Management and Change Management initiatives will be far more cost effective with SupplyLevel Inc. at the helm.

Feb 03, 2010 -

Most people refer to this social media thing as social media marketing - implying that the use of these new tools and tactics is primarily the domain of the marketing department.

It’s funny, but I’ve always said that while marketing owns the message, sales owns the relationship, so using social media to build deeper relationships on a customer by customer basis just seems like a pretty natural thing for the sales team.

No matter what you think about social media personally, your customers are moving online and into the social web in droves, so you and your organization have little choice but to figure out how to benefit from this evolution.

Embracing this concept might actually be one way to get your sales and marketing folks on the same page, but the bigger question is – what will happen when your competitor starts doing this and you aren’t?

Below are five ways the marketing and sales can work together to use social media in the sales department.

1) Create listening stations

Social media and reputation monitoring have become vital marketing department functions. I wonder how many organizations share and filter content about products, needs, trends, competitors and customers that is picked up through effective monitoring?

Setting up a filtered stream of information and making that available to the sales team would be a very good use of this data. Even using Yammer, an enterprise Twitter client or setting up special hashtags to bookmark and filter relevant industry content sent via email or RSS alert would be a killer competitive tool.

2) Build social CRM

To me, adding social media activity of your hottest customers and prospects is a no brainer, but not very many sales and marketing folks have embraced this yet. Using RSS or social media modules currently being added to most popular CRM software a salesperson can gain a tremendous amount of additional information about a prospect or customer by simply glancing at Twitter and Facebook status updates added automatically to a contact’s record.

Any salesperson will tell you that the more information they have about a customer, both personal and professional, the easier it is to make a connection. Let’s face it, people prefer to buy from people they connect with period.

Sales folks need to get in the habit of connecting on LinkedIn or Facebook with that prospect they met at last night’s Chamber event, to more easily and naturally facilitate connecting in person again.

Education and nurturing are the two vital selling functions that social media tools make much easier.

3) Mine for leads

Every minute of every day prospects are expressing the dissatisfaction with or need for the products and services offered by sales folks around the world. Actually they’ve always done this, but now it’s just a lot easier to hear.

Sales people now have the ability to drill down, using a tool like the Twitter advanced search combined with TweetDeck or RSS, and listen in when prospects are expressing, in real-time, a buying signal for their specific products and services.

Smart sales and marketing folks are figuring out how to filter, aggregate and respond to this new form of lead generation found by mining social media conversations.

4) Create community

I’ve always been an advocate of bringing customers together to allow them to network and discuss with their peers the challenges they face. Bringing four or five customers together for a lunch once in a while is a tremendous way for a salesperson to add value and build loyalty.

Social media tools make community building even easier. Sales folks need to reach out to their customers and prospects and help connect them in Facebook, LinkedIn or even Flickr groups to make it easier for them to network online and consequently build deeper relationships for mutual benefit.

5) Teach and amplify

If your company is primarily a B2B sales organization and you’ve started to master some of the things in this post then you have a tremendous opportunity.

Every business, including those your hold as customers and prospects, must get good at mastering social media and other online marketing tools.

What if your sales team added teaching customers about social media use to one of their lead nurturing and customer service activities? In the end, the true job of a salesperson is always helping customers achieve their business objectives. The salesperson that looks beyond the specific products and services and focuses on doing that will always win.

Hold Twitter webinars for customers, bring a group of strategic partners together to create a community blog, how Facebook Fan Page training at your office. Even if you feel more comfortable bringing in outside experts, you will score major points in the “helping meet objectives” category.

Once you get help your customers get more actively involved with social media, add them to your social CRM, form a Twitter list, bookmark their Facebook pages. Then either through the use of a tool like TweetDeck or with the help of Google Alerts and RSS – Retweet their content, comment on their blog posts, Digg their content, and find other ways to help amplify what your customers are up to.
