The Strategic Imperative

Maturity assessment isn't just best practice—it's essential for strategic asset management success. Understanding where you are determines where you can go.

🎯

Strategic Value

What Structured Assessment Delivers
  • Evidence-based decision making: Replace subjective opinions with objective data to justify capability investments and secure executive buy-in for improvement programmes.
  • Prioritised improvement: Focus limited resources on high-impact areas rather than spreading efforts thinly across all capabilities, maximising return on investment.
  • Competitive positioning: Benchmark against industry standards to identify where you lead and where competitors have advantages you need to address.
  • Measurable progress: Track maturity improvements over time to demonstrate value delivery and maintain momentum in organisational development initiatives.
  • Strategic alignment: Ensure capability development efforts align with organisational objectives and regulatory requirements like ISO 55001 certification.
  • Risk identification: Uncover hidden vulnerabilities in critical capability areas before they lead to operational failures or compliance issues.

Leading organisations use structured maturity frameworks to guide multi-year capability development programmes, ensuring every improvement initiative contributes to strategic objectives.

⚠️

Cost of Inaction

The Hidden Price of Ad-Hoc Improvement
  • Wasted improvement investment: Without baseline measurement, organisations cannot determine which initiatives actually deliver value, leading to repeated investment in ineffective approaches.
  • Unbalanced capability development: Ad-hoc improvements create silos of excellence surrounded by underdeveloped areas, resulting in bottlenecks that limit overall performance.
  • Missed strategic opportunities: Organisations operating blind to their maturity position cannot identify competitive advantages or gaps that require urgent attention.
  • Initiative fatigue: Continuous improvement without clear progress measurement leads to team burnout and cynicism about yet another change programme.
  • Compliance exposure: Without systematic assessment, organisations struggle to demonstrate alignment with ISO 55001, regulatory requirements, and industry frameworks like GFMAM.
  • Executive confidence loss: Leadership teams lose confidence in capability development when they cannot see tangible progress or understand where investment is needed most.

The hidden cost: Organisations without maturity visibility typically spend 30-40% more on improvement initiatives whilst achieving slower progress than those using structured assessment frameworks.

From Assessment to Excellence

How a mid-sized mining operation transformed their asset management capability using data-driven maturity assessment

Phase 1 • Months 0-2

Discovery: Revealing the Hidden Gaps

A mid-sized copper-gold mining operation in Australia believed their asset management was mature. With 15 years of continuous operation and a strong safety record, senior leadership assumed their capabilities were industry-leading. However, their first GFMAM:2024 assessment revealed a different reality.

The radar plot exposed a critical imbalance: whilst operational delivery scored 4.0/5.0, foundational capabilities lagged significantly. Data & Information maturity sat at just 1.8/5.0, and Governance scored 2.5/5.0—creating a precarious situation where advanced practices were built on weak foundations.

"We thought our asset management was world-class because our operations ran smoothly. The assessment showed us we were succeeding despite our systems, not because of them. One CMMS failure could collapse everything."

— Asset Strategy Manager
1.8/5.0 Data & Information
2.5/5.0 Governance
4.0/5.0 Delivery
AM Planning (3.0) Governance (2.5) Data (1.8) Delivery (4.0) Leadership (3.2) Context (2.8)

Initial GFMAM:2024 assessment reveals strong operational delivery (4.0) but critical gaps in Data & Information (1.8) and Governance (2.5)

Phase 2 • Months 3-12

Strategic Improvement: Building the Foundation

Armed with objective data, the executive team approved a $2.8 million capability development programme targeting foundational gaps. The assessment provided the business case they needed: without addressing data infrastructure and governance frameworks, their ISO 55001 certification goal was unachievable.

The 12-month programme focused on systematic improvements: CMMS consolidation and upgrade, data integration across operational systems, establishment of asset management governance committee, and development of technical standards library. Rather than spreading resources across all 40 topics, they prioritised the foundational capabilities that would unlock everything else.

  • Consolidated three separate CMMS platforms into single integrated system
  • Established real-time data feeds from SCADA, ERP, and condition monitoring systems
  • Created AM governance committee with board-level reporting
  • Developed comprehensive technical standards library (150+ documents)
  • Achieved 25% reduction in emergency maintenance work orders
  • Improved asset data accuracy from 67% to 94%

"The maturity framework gave us a roadmap. Instead of random improvement projects, we had a clear sequence: fix the data, strengthen governance, then leverage that foundation for advanced capabilities."

— General Manager, Operations
AM Planning (3.6 ↑) Governance (3.8 ↑) Data (3.2 ↑) Delivery (4.2 ↑) Leadership (3.6 ↑) Context (3.4 ↑) Month 0 Month 12

After 12 months: Data maturity improved from 1.8 → 3.2, Governance from 2.5 → 3.8, creating a balanced foundation for sustained improvement

Phase 3 • Months 13-18

Sustained Excellence: Realising the Value

The 18-month re-assessment validated the strategic approach. With foundational capabilities now at 3.0+ across all areas, the organisation achieved a balanced maturity profile that supported ISO 55001 certification. More importantly, the improved capabilities delivered tangible business value.

The data infrastructure enabled predictive maintenance programs that reduced unplanned downtime by 32%. The governance framework gave the board confidence to approve a $45 million asset renewal programme— something previously rejected twice due to lack of supporting evidence. Mr Markov's structured assessment approach transformed asset management from an operational cost centre to a strategic value driver.

$45M Asset renewal programme approved
32% Reduction in unplanned downtime
ISO 55001 Certified within 18 months
  • Achieved ISO 55001 certification 6 months ahead of target
  • Board approved $45M renewal programme based on data-driven business case
  • Reduced emergency maintenance from 28% to 11% of total work orders
  • Implemented condition-based maintenance for critical assets (87% coverage)
  • Established 3-year AM improvement roadmap with quarterly maturity tracking

"The maturity assessment didn't just help us get certified—it fundamentally changed how we think about asset management. We now have a common language for capability development and objective measures of progress. It's become our strategic compass."

— Asset Strategy Manager (18 months later)
AM Planning (4.0) Governance (3.9) Data (3.6) Delivery (4.3) Leadership (3.8) Context (3.7) ISO 55001 CERTIFIED

Month 18: Balanced maturity profile (all areas 3.6+) enables ISO 55001 certification and supports $45M strategic investment programme
