Produktbeschreibung
John Cavuoto moved to Western Australia in 1981, seeking employment with the local energy provider. The provider rejected John's ''dubious trade certificate,'' and that was the beginning of all the fun. John takes us through a journey that many others had suffered before him. However, there was a notable difference: John, along with a number of supporting, like-minded agitators, began what was to be a do-or-die mission. The electrical utility was at times dragged kicking and screaming from its aloof, autocratic business position to face up to twenty-first century business and community expectations. The company and the government were soon to learn that new and emerging technologies wouldn't wait for them to catch up. They had to reinvent or face up to being left behind in a modern world.
Autorenporträt
John and his family moved to Western Australia in 1981. His book Keeping It Up takes us through a humorous, real account of experiences in the industrial and electrical distribution field he worked in. The electrical utility came close to missing the boat due to poor business practices, poor insight, corruption, fear of change and no vision or regard to current unsafe and archaic practices. The take-up of rooftop solar generating systems was the last straw and a huge wakeup call, threatening to break the electricity utility with the loss of many long-term customers.John's experience in two Australian utilities gave him far-reaching skill, scope and strategies to deal with the most difficult people in the industry, as a whistleblower and as a call for change. John's dialogue in Keeping It Up gives the reader a cutaway insight into how the heart of a power company really beats.
