There is a lot of talk about sustainability. Many organizations are taking action to reduce their carbon footprint and are advocating for electrification to replace technologies that use fossil fuels. What kind of impact will this make on maintenance and reliability?
In this week’s episode, we have Ramesh Gulati back on the show to share his insights and recommendations. Listen today!
Many presentation books and guides seem to focus on presentations that we see at conferences, for sales pitches, or for executive meetings about business topics.
They don’t seem applicable to the technical design reviews that engineers host.
But they do relate.
We talk about just 3 ways that we can change how we can plan technical design reviews, using some of the principles of presentations.
