The World is Flat and other Good Stuff

I read Thomas Friedman's The World is Flat a couple of years ago and I just came across a video of Tom discussing his book at MIT which is really worth watching:

What does this have to do with maintenance? Not much on first glance, but it is a great introduction to why and how things are changing rapidly in the ways that we might think about how to manage maintenance.

I have also been reading Lean Six Sigma for Service Industries. Also an awesome book that has a lot of thoughts on ways that our maintenance processes might be improved. I highly recommend it.

I always like to look at wider trends and see how they might effect what they might offer in changes. Please feel free to share what is on your reading list.
