How to Create and Sustain High-Performing Teams to Create a Reliability Advantage
Melanie Zamora & Jim Turner, OE Advisors
Audience Level: Intermediate
Far too many organizations fail at sustaining improvements. At the core of these failures isn’t processes or technology, it’s people and the culture that really determine long term success or failure. Hiring that supports the successful culture also fosters excellent leaders. These leaders help good employees become even better people while producing better business results. Building a high performance team is not a three-month undertaking nor is it a part-time initiative or approach. Depending on where you are on the maturity curve, the age and deterioration of equipment, and the health of the business, it can be a two- to four-year journey. Significant improvements are often realized in the first three-to-six months and we can show you how.
2:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
How to Manage Your Most Important Asset: Your Organization's Culture
Patrick Parker, CMRP, Rockwell Automation
Audience Level: Intermediate
An asset is a useful or valuable person, thing or quality. If we value our organizational culture, it should be treated like an asset, and therefore considered a part of our Asset Management strategy. Most organizations forget this important piece when designing their reliability and maintenance programs where culture normally takes a backseat to process design, new technology, and engineering. No matter what tools are developed, processes created, or technologies purchased, culture will play a role in a firm’s success both in the short and long term. This is because an organization’s culture is the product of its beliefs, attitudes, values, goals, customs, and practices.
