245 – The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

245 – The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

The Role of Steering Committees in an M&R Implementation with Shon Isenhour

We’re glad to have Shon Isenhour, a founding partner at Eruditio, back with us. He was heavily involved in maintenance and reliability, industry, consulting and finally started Eruditio. He’ll help us know more about the role of a steering committee in maintenance and reliability implementations. That’s because many companies struggle with getting leadership and the lower levels of the organization on board. A steering committee is there to help with that change and implementation, but it’s often overlooked.

This episode focuses on:

  • What is the Steering Committee?
    Who and which roles should be on the Steering Committee?
    How do we manage competing interests in the Steering Committee?

… and so much more!
