Track 4-People Skills

Hi, my name is Rob Bloomquist and I’m Track Leader for Track 4 - People Skills, at this year’s Annual Conference in St. Louis.

It is well-known the ability to change an organization’s culture – that is being able to implement a new way of working and making it stick - is critical to any large-scale initiative and especially to a comprehensive maintenance and reliability improvement effort. What is less well-known and even less put into practice are practical approaches to addressing the people side of large-scale change.

This year’s line-up of papers in Track 4 offer insightful, practical approaches to this challenge including how to foster improved job satisfaction and engagement, the critical role of Training, creating “win-win” scenarios, the importance of communication, and more.

Please join me and my Track 4 co-leads, Steve Gillette, CMRP, of the City of Roseville (CA), and Bill Dockrey, CMRP, of Luminant Power, for these and other valuable presentations in the People Skills track.
