Three interesting takeaways from this Fitch report: first: SME bankruptcies 35%-65% less then previous cycle; second, the impact will be shorter; third: life-raft is expiring #SMEs #economy fitchratings.com/research/banks…

@The_Maintainers @dckellogg @STS_News @juliacastrov @RussellProf @Educopia @shannonmattern @DEGoodmanWilson @rsvelho @medjawii Great discussion

(1/2) #miii is winding down today @dckellogg! THANK YOU to all our attendees, speakers, keynotes and our planning committee!

@mattyj612 @The_Maintainers @STS_News @RussellProf Yes...and 70% of an asset's value and cost are in the operational and maintenance phase...

Most of life's work is maintenance. You build something once, but you clean, manage, and repair it for life. Maintenance is the never-ending fight against entropy, and it's masterfully discussed by @STS_News and @RussellProf in their book "The Innovation Delusion".

@Columbia_SPS @StevenACohen @EarthToShaun @alisonmsnyder Thank you and excited to be there...

@Mark_Goldberg_ This is an inaccurate representation. The industry is in fact very sophisticated; new materials, building complex projects in tough conditions...and leveraging technology as processing capacity and middle-wear enable new usages and applications

2/ The construction industry is huge -- 13% of world output / $10 trillion dollars of annual spend. It’s also still living in the technological Dark Ages. McKinsey recently ranked construction 21st out of 22 sectors in terms of innovation — behind mining & gov’t.

1/ Major milestone for @BuiltTechnology (welcome Lee Fixel!) and a fun one for me - my first Series A at Index. Built is what the future of fintech is all about -- software meets payments in a $10T industry untouched by tech. Here's why we invested 👇 businessinsider.com/built-technolo…

Total absurdity... @CityLab thanks for highlighting this.... In a new report, Uber says its tools can help Covid-battered transit agencies trim costs and improve service. Here are four questions that transportation leaders should ask first. bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @citylab
