The first IWFM Strategic Asset Management Roadshow will be calling at five locations around the UK.
This unique travelling session will feature a panel of experts from IWFM’s Technology SIG and Strategic Leaders Forum, alongside a regional expert at each location.
With an increasing focus on AI and digitalisation, our panel of strategic and operational experts will explore how organisations can manage assets more efficiently and effectively to maximise value across the asset lifecycle.
What you’ll learn
Why should an asset be managed? Why can’t we simply run it until failure? What are the implications of poorly managed assets?
These are all concepts linked by the Golden Thread.
As in industry, we’re moving away from the traditional ‘Race to the bottom’ approaches and focusing more on economically, environmentally and financially sustainable solutions. This aligns with the growing compliance and legislative pressures, as well as revised ISO standards and other industry frameworks. Now is the time to embrace a step change in asset management.
