This year, Asset Management turns 42. And we all know what that means…
Is there one, main thing we can do in organisations that will lead to good Asset Management?
On the one hand, 39, now 40 subject areas, ISO 55000 clauses, and AM maturity assessments with tens if not hundreds of questions all suggest there are many things we have to do.
On the other, some of us suspect AM is a paradigm which may only need one assumption to be thoroughly overturned to flip the system.
If I had to bet, it would be the concept of an asset lifecycle model – a model not really about money, but what we need to do to an asset, or an asset class, to effectively manage it over time to meet demand.
However, the evidence for this is more, as they say, in the breach: most infrastructure organisations haven’t yet got explicit whole of life models. Have not tried this switch.
