"Embarking on an energy management program is a lot like going on an exercise program -- commitment to change is required for sustained results and it is human nature to resist change. Getting individuals to understand and embrace the changes is even more critical to the project than the specific technology being used. I believe one of the reasons many of Prism's earliest clients are still with us today is because we focus on guiding people through the process and it provides real value."
