Overview
If you're a workplace and facilities manager (WFM) with any kind of role in asset management, you'll find yourself responsible not just for the physical assets themselves, but for the information that's needed to manage their lifecycle – from acquisition, daily use and maintenance through to obsolescence and disposal. Strategic asset management (SAM) involves optimising that lifecyle in order to gain maximum operational value from them.
That’s what IWFM’s Strategic Asset Management Good Practice Guides are designed to support. They’ve been created in partnership with Amey, and they’re aimed at anyone in WFM who needs to build a greater, deeper understanding of SAM as it relates to their job.
This comprehensive five-part series will:
- Lead you through the creation of an asset information management (AIM) framework.
- It will empower you, and your team, to support the delivery of your organisation’s strategic objectives.
- And it will give you the tools and insights you need to design and deploy an AIM framework to achieve better outcomes for your organisation.
