TEDxMelbourne #3 Speaker: Pat Naughtin, Metrication Matters
Since the beginning of civilisation measurement has been of utmost importance to humans. We all seek clarity and honesty for all our everyday business and personal measurements – especially to do with our health. As a measurement expert, our TEDxMelbourne presenter Pat Naughtin will explain how we got to where we are now, and how we proceed from here. Pat Naughtin has studied measurement in many trades and crafts as well as the professions of agriculture, engineering, and science in several countries. The scope of Pat’s knowledge of measurement ranges from boiler making, through piano building and solar energy, to weaving and wool classing. Pat provides practical advice that is immediately applicable for many business owners in their daily business practices – often with substantial cost-cutting effect.
