In practice, it is an operating maturity project. Across engineering, maintenance, facilities contracts and improvement programmes, I have repeatedly seen the same pattern: organisations invest in new technology before establishing a dependable view of their assets, processes and responsibilities. The technology may be capable, but it ends [...] ##### Tags AI in facilities management asset data campus operations Digital Transformation EAM facilities management maturity higher education smart campus Asset Management Enterprise Asset Management Facilities Management Maintenance management On Key ##### Enterprise asset management begins with better decisions Asset management is the way organisations connect long-term objectives with decisions about the performance, risk and cost of their physical assets.

The team is too busy.” It is one of the most understandable reasons for postponing training in asset-intensive work. That objection is usually grounded in reality.
