The first time I met Greg Shinskey was in the winter of 1993, when I attended his “Process Control Systems Seminar” in Atlanta. Since that time, I have had the opportunity and pleasure of implementing many of his ideas throughout my successful career as process control engineer-turned-consultant. Thanks to my professional relationship with Shinskey, I have become closely familiar with his thinking, methods and creative process. His tutelage and experience continue to guide my work today, and this unique experience has given me huge insight into his approach, more so than any of his books and papers ever could have, no matter how many times I read them. Nonetheless, there is a wealth of priceless process control information in his prolific written production, which I recommend you tap into.
