As organizations modernize their asset management strategies, success depends not only on technology—but on people. This workshop explores how to align and upskill your workforce to support both short-term operational goals and long-term digital transformation. From data literacy to cross-functional collaboration, participants will learn how to equip teams with the capabilities needed to thrive in a connected, intelligent asset environment. 

You will learn how to: 

• Understand how IAM shifts responsibilities from manual tasks to data-driven decision-making—and why unclear role expectations often stall progress. 
•  Connect training and hiring plans to your digital roadmap, and why misalignment between HR, operations, and leadership can create friction. 
•  Break down silos and foster shared ownership—while addressing the cultural and communication barriers that often hinder collaboration. 
•  Develop practical approaches to training in data literacy and emerging technologies, and how to overcome resistance from teams unfamiliar with digital tools. 
•  Use digital work instructions, collaborative dashboards, and structured onboarding can ease the transition—and why lack of support structures can derail adoption. 
•  Define success, track progress, and sustain momentum—especially when competing priorities and short-term pressures threaten long-term goals. 

Whether you're just beginning to modernize your asset management approach or scaling a digital IAM strategy, this session will help you build a workforce that’s aligned, capable, and ready to deliver measurable impact. 

Even the most advanced asset management strategies can stall without strong executive sponsorship. While the value of intelligent asset management (IAM) is clear to operations and reliability teams, translating that value into strategic language that resonates with leadership remains a major hurdle. This session will explore how to bridge that gap—equipping attendees with the tools to align IAM initiatives with business priorities, build compelling business cases, and engage stakeholders across the C-suite.  

You will learn how to:  

• Demonstrate how IAM initiatives directly support enterprise goals such as cost reduction, sustainability, and operational efficiency—especially when leadership is focused on measurable business outcomes  
• Build a compelling business case using data-driven insights, ROI projections, and risk mitigation strategies that clearly articulate the long-term value of IAM investments
• Communicate effectively with executive stakeholders by tailoring messages to their priorities, addressing common concerns, and positioning IAM as a catalyst for innovation and competitive advantage  
• Navigate organizational barriers such as siloed decision-making, competing initiatives, and change resistance by aligning IAM efforts with broader strategic narratives and governance structures
