Episode Brief: Greg and Matt discuss the importance and complexities of working with technology such as IoT sensor monitoring and computerized maintenance management software (CMMS) in the maintenance industry. We consider the disconnect between different levels of an organization and stress the importance of having the right people involved in decision-making processes.

An interesting conversation revealing Matt’s position on the matter, suggesting a needed shift from tech-based to asset-based approach, taking into account the human and cultural element in implementing new technology.

🤘 Avoid implementing technology before understanding its full implications and utility for the business. 🤘 Consider the cost-effectiveness of new technology, not just the upfront cost but also potentially unnecessary subscription fees. 🤘 Work from the ground up, involving experienced workers in decision-making processes and considering their input invaluable. 🤘 There is a need to expand the culture and language of organizations, making maintenance strategies more inclusive and understandable to all involved. 🤘 Data itself is not as valuable as relevant, purposeful data that contributes to actionable, positive changes. 🤘 It's important not to rush the implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT) or other tech-based strategies; instead, patience and careful planning should guide the process. 🤘If you want to get in touch with Matt, be sure to connect with him on LinkedIn.
