Just added:

The Reliability Leadership “Zombie Apocalypse” Game closes out the conference with a fun game that poses thought-provoking questions and judgements about the path from being a Maintenance Zombie to becoming a Reliability Leader. This Reliability Leadership game places participants in a world where many humans have been infected with a highly reactive virus. This virus turns humans into reliability zombies, who work without planning and with little cross-functional collaboration, focusing only on the immediate task at hand and simply reacting to what they see around them. As a result, the world will be filled with emergency breakdowns and other setbacks.

To fight off the virus, humans must become engaged and empowered. Whether this happens through one’s own insights or through the support of a larger team, the result is an individual who has become a Reliability Leader.

Participants in the game must strive to become Reliability Leaders. This fun and popular game includes many thought-provoking questions and discussions, and to be successful, players must fully engage, with no judgement and an open mind.

Sign up to play when you register for IMC-2019. Additional fee is required.

Throughout the conference, participants will have the opportunity to meet with the world’s most advanced solution providers offering products, services, training and software. IMC-2019 also offers high-value networking opportunities, including a Welcome Reception, Reliability Leader Networking, the Women in Reliability and Asset Management program, open-table breakfast and lunch daily, and exciting evening social events.

IMC-2019 will be held at the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort, Marco Island, Florida. More information and registration for IMC-2019 is available at www.imc-2019.com. Registration for the CRL Workshop. Registration for the CMM Workshop.
