Scaling Up Nation, I cannot wait to introduce you to today's guest, Larry Pond. Larry is an expert in Compliance and Quality Assurance at IWC Innovations. Today, Larry and I are going to discuss how to prevent Legionella and other water-borne pathogens by having a good water management plan in place for each of your clients. Larry is a great communicator and my hope is that he inspires you to have the ‘water management plan conversation’ with your clients today.

One of the things I admire most about Larry is his seemingly effortless ability to ask soft questions to his clients so he can set up the right water management plan specifically catered for their facility.

Some of the questions he gently asks his clients are:

      • Do you have a water management plan?
      • How do you protect your system and people?
      • What risk factors do you have?
      • Are your current measures adequate for these protections?

After asking those questions to his clients (and many more), he then gives them the additional metaphors and stories they need to hear in order to drive home the importance of analyzing their risk factors and preventing outbreaks. If you are a water treater, you are going to love today’s episode.

Bottom line: Larry Pond is going to tell us why having a water management plan is important.

Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client.
