Our experience with our list subscribers is that you all share our interest or even admiration for maintenance success stories; and you also share our irritation with the buzzword "innovation" and the notion that innovation can cure all kinds of social ills. So, we thought we’d <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdAlsd2zDTTjgGDw7OwwUpb_d7t4Ii0w2OslZfsLaG1RIxSQg/viewform" class="">collect and share anecdotes using a google form</a>. The form has 2 questions (and a place for you to leave your name/contact info):</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1. Can you describe one or more of your favorite examples of a maintenance
success story? This might be from your own personal experience, or from
things you've read/seen/heard. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2. Can you describe one or more of your favorite examples of
innovation-mania gone wild? How about a case where an innovation fad has
harmed a business or other organization? This also might be from your
own personal experience, or from things you've read/seen/heard.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Of course, you’re always welcome to share examples with this mailing list.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you all!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Andy & Lee</div><div class=""><a href="http://themaintainers.org/" class="">http://themaintainers.org/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">PS - Here’s the url for the form/questionnaire in case the link above didn’t work: <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdAlsd2zDTTjgGDw7OwwUpb_d7t4Ii0w2OslZfsLaG1RIxSQg/viewform" class="">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdAlsd2zDTTjgGDw7OwwUpb_d7t4Ii0w2OslZfsLaG1RIxSQg/viewform</a>.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> </div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Many thanks, Andy Russell and Lee Vinsel - <a href="http://themaintainers.org/" class="">http://themaintainers.org/</a></div></div></body></html>
