This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of regional capacity building. An example of regionalization is presented to
demonstrate how:
constrained resources can be
leveraged;
efficiencies and economies of scale
can be created; and,
workforce issues can be significantly
reduced. The Kitsap Public Utility District in Washington State is profiled, and structural options necessary to
implement
improvement strategies are presented, along with a pyramid of alliances, workforce implications and practices, educating and training employees, process improvement -
employee involvement in
action, change to accommodate growth, and a small systems example. Includes tables.
