  1. revolutions are messy and demand considerable persistence and agility. Wholly new ways of thinking, including new management techniques, are the way to win. (28)
  2. Opower exemplifies three of the fundamental principles of resource productivity: virtualization, optimization and waste reduction (57)
  3. Finding opportunities to s​substitute ​away from scarce resources. Eliminating waste throughout the system, from production through end use. I​ncrease “circularity”​- upgrading, reusing, or recycling products. O​ptimizing ​efficiency, convenience, safety, and reliability. M​oving ​products, services, and the processes that develop or deliver them out of the physical world and into the virtual realm. (59)
