UPTIME: Strategies for Excellence in Maintenance Management

Thoughtware is the underlying platform on which every organization operates, the set of assumptions upon which the organization is structured. When you understand and change thoughtware, the tools and techniques of continuous improvement become incredibly powerful.

Sustainable change only happens when both philosophy and techniques are combined in a well-grounded methodology. The new thoughtware introduced here describes how to shift your organization's understanding from the old paradigm based on division of labor, departmentalization, span of control, and point of authority to the powerful new context of knowledge, measurement, time to action and allowment.

New thoughtware will allow knowledge workers to emerge, grow, and truly impact your organization. For senior executives, middle managers and frontline workers, this book provides new thought patterns for the knowledge era.

Change:
It is difficult. It can create tension. It is certain.

Thought:
It is powerful. It is free. It can transform your organization.
