How to lead and maintain reliability in a crisis

What’s changed and what hasn’t in these challenging times of virus-driven decision making? As asset management and other maintenance and reliability activities continue, adherence to new pandemic-prompted standardized best practices is even more critical. In this webinar, educator and expert Dr. Klaus Blache will discuss the challenges but also the opportunities brought on by the pandemic; how great things have and can be accomplished during a crisis; what the “new normal” means for maintenance strategies; the importance of being resilient, and what to focus on as a leader during a crisis.
