California's Yosemite National Park (nps.gov/yose) spans 1,200 square miles in the Sierra Mountains and features giant sequoia trees, waterfalls, biking paths and rock-climbing areas. Families planning an extended stay may reserve a campsite or guest rooms at an in-park lodge. Tours of the park allow children to observe and explore the scenic wonderland that is Yosemite.
Horseback and Mule Rides
Children at least seven years of age and 44 inches tall may saddle up a horse at Yosemite National Park for a half- or full-day tour. Yosemite Valley Stable has a two-hour ride to Mirror Lake that is ideal for novice riders, and the Wawona Stables offers a ride over flat, even terrain along a former wagon road and through a meadow. Mules also are available for park tours and are sometimes preferred for their calm temperaments and even footing.
Take a twilight stroll to see the sights of Yosemite and learn about the park's history and natural features on an hour-long guided tour that starts from Ahwahnee Lodge's back porch. Fireside storytelling and vintage camping songs also are available to families during the evening hours. A Starry Skies tour lasts 1.5 hours and allows kids to look up at the stars while searching for the Milky Way, constellations and comets. During the winter months, children over age 10 may join a Full Moon Snowshoe Walk through snowy, moonlit forests.
Bus Tours and Guided Activities
Tour Yosemite Valley on an open-air tram during the warm-weather months or a heated motor coach during the winter to see El Capitan, Bridal Veil Falls and other park highlights on the two-hour Valley Floor Tour. Children under age 5 ride free on the tour, and family pricing is available. The Yosemite Grand Tour is an all-day bus tour through giant sequoia trees and past Glacier Point and includes a stop for a picnic lunch. Other popular tours for families include the 1.25-hour Big Trees Tram Tour and the three-hour Specialty Valley Floor tours, with themes such as Yosemite's Birds and Vagabonds and Visionaries.
Shuttle Bus Tours
For self-guided tours of the park, utilize one of Yosemite's free shuttle buses throughout the valley. Stops are available near major vistas, accommodations and stores, allowing travelers to get on and off the bus as they wish. Shuttle buses travel to El Capitan, the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias and Tuolumne Meadows. A shuttle bus also provides transportation to Badger Pass Ski Area for young skiers and snowboarders during the winter months.
Children may study with a park ranger at Yosemite National Park and earn a Junior Ranger (ages 7-13) or Little Cub (ages 3-6) badge. Learn about the animals and physical features of Yosemite as well as the history of the park as part of the Junior Ranger program. More than 24,000 children earned their Junior Ranger badges in 2010, according to the National Park Service.

Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (1st District of Washington)
Today, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) announced that Washington state will receive over $26 million in federal funding to support conservation efforts and connect people with nature.
This funding comes through two U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service programs. The Wildlife Restoration Program provides funds to fish and wildlife agencies for projects to restore, conserve, manage, and enhance wild birds and mammals and their habitat. The Sport Fish Restoration Program provides funds to fish and wildlife agencies for fishery projects, boating access, and aquatic education.
“The Pacific Northwest is home to some of our nation’s most breathtaking national forests, parks, mountains, and waterways. Protecting these natural treasures is critical to protecting the quality of life we cherish,” said DelBene. “These federal resources will support conservation efforts that will help ensure future generations can enjoy the Pacific Northwest as we do today.”
“Around the country, Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration funding supports collaborative wildlife and habitat conservation, fish and wildlife health, clean water and outdoor access efforts of our state, commonwealth and territorial partner agencies,” said Martha Williams, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director. “This vital funding fosters efforts to monitor and manage our nation’s fish and wildlife resources, supports hunter and aquatic education, improves access for outdoor pursuits like hunting, fishing, and boating, and connects people to wildlife and wild places.”
These investments can be used to fund professional biologists, offer education and safety programs, operate fish and wildlife health labs, purchase and operate and maintain more than 35 million acres of land open to hunting and angling, and provide access at over 9,000 locations nationally for community fishing access.
Along with the more than $28 billion distributed to date nationally, partner fish and wildlife agencies have contributed approximately $9 billion in investments throughout the program’s history. Through these combined funds, agencies have supported the annual stocking of over 1 billion fish, managed and monitored over 500 species of wild mammals and birds, provided hunter-education to millions of students and constructed or renovated over 800 target ranges.
More information about the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s final apportionment of Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration grant funds can be found here. More information about the program can be found here.

Leading for Regeneration: Going beyond sustainability in business, education, and community (Routledge), can now be purchased in the US.
Order online at http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415692458

This book presents the Regenerative Leadership Framework that has emerged from the author’s doctoral research and consulting work with corporate executives, leaders of NGOs, government officials, and researchers and innovators in higher education, all of whom were identified as successful sustainability leaders in their respective fields. The framework synthesizes the levels of awareness, the leadership styles and behaviors, and the organizational arrangements that correlate most significantly across these domains in the pursuit of what Bill McDonough, among others, have called the triple top line: “How can we grow prosperity, celebrate community, and enhance the health of all species for all time?” The theory of change behind the framework is grounded in two core premises:
§ Behaviors may drive change, but they can only be as effective as the level of consciousness that initiates them, and of the capacity to work effectively with the complex systems in which they operate. Therefore,
§ We need to focus as much attention at the causal level of our consciousness as we do on the effects produced by our behaviors (e.g. our contribution to climate change originates in a flaw in human consciousness, not in a rational [or irrational] decision to self-destruct). This is where authentic regenerative change and sustainability can take place.
This requires a mindset willing to radically redesign itself before it can attempt to redesign a more sustainable, just, and prosperous future.
Among its major findings, the book shows how the more evolved sustainability leaders work to promote a profound cultural shift towards regenerative human systems in their organizations. In these transformed cultures, people develop a strong collective sense of purpose driven by a powerful, realizable shared vision, and leadership is exercised horizontally and collaboratively. Leaders and followers engage multiple internal and external stakeholders in generative conversations conducive to designing economically viable, desirable futures which are then ‘backcasted’ into sustainable solutions that possess the smallest possible unanticipated consequences. Throughout the transformation process, examples abound of the critically important “inner work” practiced by leaders that has led to real, lasting, and increasingly regenerative change.

DeWitt delivers the stately Academia Night Chronograph (Ref. AC.6005.53.M255) in a massive 18-karat rose gold body of three different varieties inspired by long-gone days of the Golden Age that preceded the Great Depression of the 1930s. The collection’s main point of attraction is the unusual gear-shaped bezel that is matched by similarly styled sides of the massive case. Although to some the device may look a bit too extreme, it will find its share of customers even despite its obscenely high MSRP.
Being in fact a spin-off of the wonderful Academia Chronograph Sequentiel series (pictured below,) the new Academia Night features that winning matte-black-and-polished-gold combination of textures and colors that is so popular in the niche of ultra-luxury timekeepers.
The watch not only looks great: its well-balanced dial gives you a high level of night-time legibility and the sophisticated 43-millimeter case that is crafted of white and/or rose gold serves as an almost perfect frame for it.
Catering to the needs of the nocturnal part of the population, the Academia Night Chronograph makes its point with the help of its dial that is coated with Superluminova in white and, you won’t believe it, dark grey, nearly-black colors.
Combined, these two strontium-aluminate-based photoluminescent compounds printed on the minute track and the minute and seconds counters make for perfect night-time readability. They look fairly flashy, too.
Since the Academia Night offers an uncommon bi-compax dial layout, it comes with only one chronograph sub-dial (at 3 o’clock) and is capable of measuring time intervals no longer than 29 minutes and 59 seconds. But this is absolutely okay, since you will probably only use the feature once or twice.
The peculiarly looking sub-dial at 9 o’clock is, in fact, the signature sequential seconds counter.
The collection is currently available only in two versions.
One, with a rubber wrist strap with gold folding clasps, features a two-tone white-and-rose-gold case with black rubber inserts.
The second, coming with an alligator strap is made entirely of 18-karat rose gold.
Inside the case beats an automatic self-winding movement with 48 hours of power reserve.
DeWitt doesn’t specify, which caliber exactly did they use in this gorgeous, art deco-styled collection, but, judging by the live images of the Academia Night, the movement has been built with extreme love even to the smallest details.
The rose gold oscillating weight of its winding system, for example, features a lot of DeWitt logos: the brand must be really proud of this work.
The caliber is thin enough for the watch to feature a case that is only 13 millimeters thick.
At this time, the collection sports a street price of almost $37,000, which is steep even for a timekeeper that comes in such a massive rose gold body.
Still, for the price, you get a timekeeper that not only looks different, but is also going to be a rare bird in a club filled with gentlemen wearing more traditional-looking offerings from Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and even Rolex. If your main purpose is getting some extra attention, this beautiful trinket will surely be of help.

Since FIFA ’94, the cover has featured an athlete. Initially, the athlete featured was not always a soccer player, with David Platt, a former English professional footballer, being the first non-footballer to grace the cover. However, after FIFA ’95, the cover athlete has always been a football player.
The first footballer to feature on the FIFA cover was Dutch international Ruud Gullit, who appeared on the cover of FIFA ’96. Since then, the likes of David Beckham, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo have all graced the cover, becoming stars in their own right.
Notably, the FIFA covers have become increasingly creative and visually stunning over the years. FIFA 2001 featured a cover with a player performing an overhead kick, while FIFA 12 had a cover featuring three different players, each representing a different footballing style.
Another significant change to the FIFA cover has been the shift towards regional covers. In recent years, different athletes have appeared on covers in different regions, allowing game developers to better cater to local markets.

“It takes the total so far awarded in Mid Copeland to £393,870 across 18 different local schemes and there are further initiatives coming through the system.”
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team is thrilled with its funding which will provide a fourth emergency vehicle kitted out with blue lights, casualty care and radio communications equipment. The vehicle will respond to the ever-increasing number of 999 callouts the voluntary team receives – there have been 94 so far this year, which equates to about one in every 3 days.
John Bamforth, Chair of WMRT, said: “We have an increasing number of callouts and are more often getting callouts to multiple incidents at the same time. This will really enhance our capability as our service is stretched with the three vehicles we have currently.
“We’re totally reliant on donations and do a lot of fundraising in the community – it costs around £75,000 a year to run the team which has now increased to over 50 members due to the rise in callouts. We’re very grateful for this funding.”
Rob Blythe, Seascale Tennis committee member, said: “We’re delighted with the funding support provided by the GDF Programme, with this we have refreshed aged equipment and purchased additional coaching aids which will improve the overall experience for anyone wishing to take part.
“Seascale Tennis Club has a long history of supporting the development of juniors and adults within the local community which in turn will secure the future of the Tennis Club for years to come. Our ambition is to remove all barriers that may prevent anyone in the local community from experiencing the benefits that tennis has to offer. I would like to thank the GDF Programme for the support offered.”
Jim Polmear, Treasurer of Gosforth Amateur Dramatic Society, said: “We’re absolutely delighted with our grant. Our sound equipment was getting very dated and needed replacing. We performed the musical Oliver in June this year which was a roaring success, but we had to hire in a lot of the equipment and a sound engineer which was costly.
“We decided to try to buy our own equipment and that’s when we applied for funding – I would encourage others to do the same. This money will benefit a lot of people locally as most of the equipment can be used by other users of Gosforth Public Hall.”
The GDF programme requires both a suitable site and a willing community. Deep geology beyond the coast is being considered for siting the underground elements of a GDF. This means a surface facility on, or near, the coast would provide access to a disposal area deep in rock beyond the coast.
If a suitable site is found in Copeland – a process which could take 10-15 years – a decision to develop a GDF in Mid Copeland could not be taken until the community in the electoral wards directly affected has had a say and taken a positive Test of Public Support.
The Community Partnership is keen to hear from groups with projects that could be eligible for Community Investment Funding – for further information go to: https://midcopeland.workinginpartnership.org.uk/community-investment-funding/

Hi Robert & all listers. Had my GPZ just over a year now but never got
round to joining the list til now. Not so cold here in south east
England but cold enough! I used to find icing a problem but this
winter I've been letting her warm for longer before setting out & had
no problems. I put this down to engine warmth getting across to the
inlet manifolds better without the flow of cold air once you get
moving and once warm they seem to stay ok. Had the heated grips & £150
gloves on my B*W but to be honest I still got cold fingertips. These
days I wear a pair of disposable vinyl gloves (the ones mechanics etc
wear these days to stop oil & skin contact) under my £40 HG "blader"
gloves which seem to help a bit (tried proper inner gloves but I found
they made things so tight my circulation suffered). My biggest winter
problem is seeing where I'm going. I have an HID conversion on the
headlight which is ace but trying to keep the visor on my helmet clear
is a real pain once the spray off the roads dries on it. The built in
wiper blade on the Heine Gericke gloves helps but if the visor dries
that's game over. I have a small spray bottle of water and a cloth in
the top of my tankbag but it normally means pulling over to use it.
Playing with the idea of mounting a car washer jet on the bike screen
but knowing my luck I'll spray it when the visors open & blind myself!

A system by which the primary and secondary circuits were " turned " or syntonized by including condensers in the circuits.
He proved that when so syntonized the circuits are inductively respondent to each other with a much less power expenditure in the primary circuit than without the syntony.
When oscillations are excited in this last circuit they communicate them to the antenna provided this last circuit is tuned or syntonized to the closed circuit, and the radiating antenna has thus a large store of energy to draw upon and can therefore radiate prolonged trains of electric waves.
These two circuits are syntonized so that the closed or condenser circuit and the open or antenna circuit are adjusted to have, when separate, the same natural electrical time of vibration.
This receiver therefore, like the transmitter, consists of an open and a closed electric oscillation circuit inductively connected together; also the two circuits of the receiver must be syntonized or tuned both to each other and to those of the transmitter.'

Ever have "one of those days"? Kinda stuck, knitting-wise. Not really in the mood to make a sweater (although I had to order some yarn for one courtesy of the webs sale), no yarn really speaks to you. I have a couple of projects lined up. A beaded shawl (need to go out to shipwreck and get the beads), I'd love to do a girasole, but I can't decide on the yarn, and Birch is speaking to me too, but the yarn I bought for it at Madrona is just not going to work. Too scratchy and the difference between the dye lots is just too much.
I've had to settle with finishing 'a little jazz' - expertly modeled here by cinnamon brown,
And working on some endpaper mitts. I've wanted to make these for a long time, so it seemed the thing to do.
All in all, it's been pretty lazy around here, what with the crazy snow, rain, sleet hail (and all that in 5 minutes) weather!
This week, off to the annual pilates conference in california to hang with all the pilates superstars. Too bad it's going to be warmer here than it is in california.


After years of government mandates, corruption, and massive losses in the auto industry, there should be no question as to why Detroit, Michigan is losing thousands of residents each year. The latest census count suggests that Detroit has fallen back some one hundred years in terms of population count.
This does not bode well for Mayor Dave Bing, who is seeking a recount:
The flight of middle-class African-Americans to the suburbs fueled an exodus that cut Detroit’s population 25% in the past decade to 713,777, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday. That’s the city’s lowest population level since the 1910 census, when automobile mass production was making Detroit Detroit.
The decline, the fastest in city history, shocked local officials, who had expected a number closer to 800,000. Mayor Dave Bing said the city would seek a recount.
“If we could go out and identify another 40,000 people that were missed, and it brings us over the threshold of 750,000, that would make a difference from what we can get from the federal and state government.”
Source: The Wall Street Journal
If the mayor’s first reaction to losing a qtr mil people is to measure that in lost goodies from the gubment- maybe it’s the ENTIRE MINDSET of the people who live there, including the idiots they elect to city offices. When your whole damned world-view is predicated on what you get from the government, it’s no wonder you’re a declining craphole of a city.
Detroit is so far gone that no amount of federal money will help at this point. A culture of corruption, excessive spending, mismanagement and dependency will inevitably lead to bankruptcy and migration of skilled labor. Will more federal money bring back the union contracted auto industry? Will it improve the schools, which have completely fallen apart over the last two decades and are now to the point where there will be 60 students per class due to budget problems? Will federal government giveaways send the right message to the Detroit city council and policymakers?
Detroit is not alone. The same mentality that has destroyed the wealth of this once vibrant and industrial powerhouse will lead to the bankruptcy of many more in months and years to come; and it will not be isolated to just cities, but entire states. Eventually, the federal government, operating under the same auspices of progressive socialism, will be left decimated.
While in 2008 millions of Americans voted to empower the ideologues who would further expand government sponsored health care, retirement and labor, history will show that it is these very policies that brought down a nation once looked to by the rest of the world as the beacon of freedom and innovation.
Cyclical forecaster Martin Armstrong, in his essay The Collapse of Capitalism or is it Socialism?, discusses this very trend and suggests, contrary to popular progressive opinion, that it is not capitalism, free markets and liberty that are collapsing, but rather, Marxist socialism and communism:
It may seem strange, but we have been undergoing a battle of economic philosophy that transcends so many concepts, that unless we step back, most have difficulty understanding the trend. This battle has often been laced with efforts to control mankind. For within this battle, we will find religion, politics, scientific innovation and progress spanning technology in all areas, but also issues that include both slavery and labor that all create what has become known as our economy.
Sometimes we are too close to a problem that it is just impossible to see. When man landed on the moon and sent the first pictures of Earth rising, only then could we see what our world truly looked like. We are facing the very same problem. The change that we now see and are debating, is still from the view of a fly on an elephant’s back. We do not know we are even on an elephant or what is an elephant.
Our society is still growing and changing. We are going through puberty where the youth rebels against the parent. The profound change, the Great Economic Transformation, became bluntly visible back in 1989 where the world economy began to change with the fall of Communism. That fundamental change was truly an Economic Transformation wave which is now causing the collapse of socialism in the Western nations. What we are facing is confusing. Nevertheless, if we want to see the elephant, it is time to take flight.
Without getting into the obvious issues of individual liberty, the ideologies of communism and socialism can be boiled down to economics. And the fact of the matter is, the mathematics simply don’t work. The numbers don’t add up, no matter how hard those in power try to cover them up and manipulate them. The Soviet Union and the East Block are clear examples of the end result.
The good news is that socialism is a failed experiment. Marx was wrong. The entire system is unsustainable and must collapse.
The bad news is, that there is no easy way out. The period of transformation as socialism collapses and a new paradigm emerges will be difficult and mired in poverty, destitution, violence and war.

Eilen Jewell - Sea of Tears (LP, Signature Sounds)
Although singer/songwriter Eilen Jewell has drawn comparisons with artists like Lucinda Williams & Jolie Holland, her strongest influences appear to be Bessie Smith & Billie Holiday. Having earned a reputation as a folkie with her earlier albums, Jewell moves towards a more guitar-heavy, 60's-flavoured roots rock with her third release, Sea of Tears.
The album is mainly Jewell's own compositions, but there are a few great covers thrown into the mix. Jewell's vocals are subtle, understated, and relaxed, but that doesn't make her any less expressive on moody, melancholy originals such as "Codeine Arms", "Rain Roll In", and "Fading Memory". She's as melancholy on her own material as she is on memorable performances of "I'm Gonna Dress in Black" (a gem that Van Morrison performed when he a member of Them in the '60s) and Loretta Lynn's "The Darkest Day". She also does a great cover of Johnny Kidd's "Shakin' All Over".
Eilen Jewell is a distinctive artist with a voice that sinks into your head and just won't leave. The album will defintely be on your year-end "Best Of" list - it's that good.

Partnership Project to Strengthen HK's Competitiveness as World's No. 1 Air Cargo Hub
Tradelink Electronic Commerce Limited ("Tradelink", SEHK: 0536) and Global Logistics System HK ("GLSHK") today announced a joint venture project to build a community information platform that will enable all stakeholders in air cargo supply chain to exchange and process electronic information in a collaborative manner that would enhance efficiency, reduce paper handling, enhance sustainability and improve the overall efficiency of Hong Kong as the world’s number one air cargo hub.
Under the project, to be jointly launched by Tradelink and GLSHK, electronic information input at any point in the air cargo supply chain can be viewed, re-used, processed and re-distributed by other stakeholders through the interconnection and co-ordination between the platforms operated by the two companies. Leveraging on the strength of Tradelink and GLSHK whose platforms have already been linked to the massive and dispersive shippers and forwarders community respectively, the two key communities in the supply chain can easily and readily be inter-connected for electronic information exchanges through a web-based interface or direct connection to their respective systems.
This collaboration follows the success of Tradelink and GLSHK in showcasing the IATA sponsored E-freight project with end-to-end paper-free air cargo process flow involving a home-based air carrier in Hong Kong and a German shipper & consignee late last year.
Mr Lionel Kwok, Chief Executive Officer of GLSHK said, “ This platform will take out a lot of phone calls, faxes, emails, paper work, and data re-entry in the air cargo supply chain in Hong Kong, hence improving the speed, efficiency and competitiveness of the whole industry.
“Big players as well as small & medium-sized enterprises will all benefit from this shared platform. This will also be a state of the art system that befits Hong Kong’s status as the world’s number one air cargo hub and is
also a milestone as Hong Kong continues to grow its logistics industry which is a pillar of the economy,” Mr Kwok said.
He cited as a case in point that freight forwarders can re-use the electronic shipment bookings information submitted by shippers to produce electronic Air Waybill for sending to their respective air carriers, terminal operators and government bodies. At the same time, shippers, freight forwarders and other stakeholders can also retrieve real-time shipment information from the airlines.
Mr. Michael Wu, Chief Executive Officer of Tradelink said, “We have already linked up a strong customer base of more than 50,000+ shippers, representing almost the whole shipper community while GLSHK has built
an impressive infra-structure widely used by forwarders for electronic Air Waybill not only in Hong Kong, but also rapidly expanding globally. Tradelink is very pleased to work with GLSHK to combine our strengths to
build this community platform to make Hong Kong more competitive.”

Mari E. Haapala, digital lead at ABB Motion, explains how a pandemic-driven surge in the uptake of digital solutions will yield long-term benefits for industrial companies and redefine the service business ecosystem.
With traditional service operations hampered by Covid related travel restrictions and social distancing demands, maintaining the reliability of critical equipment such as drives and motors has become a significant challenge. This has prompted many businesses to re-evaluate their service needs and to embrace digitalization and remote access-based services. They have discovered accessible digital approaches which add tangible value by enabling better decision-making that maximises productivity, improves resilience and reduces costs. At the same time, remoteaccess-based services also helped to reduce safety risks during the pandemic and enabled organizations to keep operating regardless of the restrictions.
A partner with the necessary service expertise can help optimise use of data
Fundamentally, digitalisation allows remote-access based services, such as condition monitoring and support of industrial assets. Connected motors and drives collect data which is transmitted wirelessly to a secure cloud. Cloud-based analytics make sense of the data and produce actionable insights on which sound decisions can be made. This principle can be applied to an individual drive or motor or to an entire powertrain. By gaining deeper insights into the status and condition of their assets, customers can intervene to ensure their reliability and avoid the impacts of unexpected downtime and asset failure.
They can protect their profitability further by reducing the need for travel, avoiding unnecessary maintenance actions, accurately predicting when intervention is needed, and scheduling services at the least disruptive times. Customers using ABB Ability remote condition monitoring include Japanese chemical giant Denka. At three of Denka’s Singapore plants, an ambitious target of reducing motor failure by 80 per cent has been surpassed – with no motor failing in the two years since they were connected.
The same technology enhances safety by helping to keep assets in good operating condition and reducing the exposure of service engineers to potentially dangerous machinery or hazardous locations. Detailed insights can be used to improve operations in many other ways. For example, monitoring and analysis of energy consumption may point to changes which will improve energy efficiency. Importantly, achieving the benefits summarised here depends on much more than the connection of motors and drives and the collection of data. It requires a service partner with the necessary service expertise to make gainful use of the data.
Small steps toward future proofing business
Going digital has become surprisingly easy thanks to plug-and-play products. For example, ABB can supply a small control panel that simply clicks into place on a drive. At the touch of a button, it connects with the cloud and starts collecting useful data. Hyped visions of digitalisation focus on a future of fully autonomous factories, which will require huge transformation and investment. In the real world, digitally enabled services are already accessible to almost every business and can be adopted in small steps as part of a gradual journey. Digitalisation should not be seen as something separate from the normal activities of a customer’s business. That is why ABB Motion packages its wellestablished core expertise in traditional service provision together with its digital leadership and technology. This allows customers to digitalise their operations at whatever pace they find comfortable.
Partnerships and ecosystems
The next step enabled by digital technologies is the movement towards holistic service agreements in which the provider takes responsibility for the outcomes of its work. In other words, the customer buys agreed levels of uptime, productivity, energy efficiency or some other KPI. This will fundamentally change the relationships between service providers, customers, and other businesses, who will now become partners.
These partnerships will ultimately become part of an ecosystem which brings together service providers who can contribute to the overall success of the business. They might include insurance companies, investment and pension funds, finance institutions and businesses in the cybersecurity, AI and machine learning fields. Ecosystems will not just change the game but will define the future service landscape.
The history of industrial standardisation shows a parallel for such interdependency, with companies agreeing on common standards to make business easier and more efficient for all. In the digital arena, there is very little standardisation at the moment. In the meantime, businesses should immediately seize the reliability, safety and profitability advantages of the digital service solutions available today, which have never been so easily accessible and affordable
