Jennifer Davis, Principal

Jennifer’s background is Communications and Change Management. Over the course of her career she has guided numerous organizations through the process of change and engagement, utilizing strategic communications and behavioural methodologies.

In 2001, Jennifer submitted and received the first ever green building certification in Canada on behalf of her employer at the time. She soon realized however, that greening the physical space was only half the equation, and so she began researching and trialing methods for engaging people, whose behaviours impact the physical environment. Utilizing techniques borrowed from her background in communications and change, as well as tools from community based social marketing and behavioural psychology, Jennifer has refined her approach for transitioning technically and operationally focused green programs into programs that are more people focused and behaviour based.
