Workshop Background Influences• Wisdom of Crowds, by James Surowiecki

– A group of moderately informed, moderately intelligent individuals will arrive at a better solution collectively than most extremely well-informed individual experts will offer

– Group diversity and individual independence of thought are critical

• The Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell– Little things can make a big difference– Rules of Epidemics: Law of the Few, Stickiness Factor,

Power of Context (7 categories; 150~ RCAP size)

Workshop Background InfluencesAnd Rich Holder of NCRCAP

—the Steinbeck Award Winner nominated by Andy Adams Orange County, NC Health Dept.

• 2,500 non-existent or failing wastewater systems in 26 western North Carolina counties

• In 2006, Rich marshaled financial and volunteer resources to fix a system for a family which had raw sewage flowing underneath their new home

• Now he has more than a dozen vendors and volunteer groups (esp. ReCreation Experiences) lined up to repair seven more systems this summer, helping families and the environment

Our challenge is to “clone” Rich Holder

through training and technical assistance programs

Workshop Goal 1

Program Goal = Catalyze SWPP by adopting simple social marketing techniques

Focus on high-target audiences (Law of the Few, seven or eight groups) and on high-target threat (wastewater)

+ Each audience’s roles, responsibilities, and authority + WHAT each audience needs to know or do about SWPP and

wastewater treatment/management+ WHY each audience wants to know or do something that

would promote SWPP + A delivery format that matches needs and wants

= Criteria for training

Workshop Goal 2

Use training criteria to evaluate existing

training curricula, aids, products

focusing on high-value targets

Workshop Method• “Calibrate” ourselves through presentations

• Learn basics of social marketing approach

• Break out into smaller work groups to think deeply about audiences, needs, wants, delivery techniques

• Professional facilitation/moderator services by experts with social marketing and curriculum design background—

National Design Committee Roles

• Attend workshop and share expertise, experience, insights

• Be a sounding board for program personnel throughout the 18-month effort (15 months left)

• Be a network of “go to” people for each other and for NESC and RCAP technical assistance providers
