Organizational Change Management for Asset Management
In many organizations, Asset Management is not failing because of strategy, systems, or frameworks.
It struggles because the organization itself has not transitioned with the change.
Processes are introduced. Systems are upgraded. Asset Management Plans are developed. Yet behaviours, decision-making, culture, leadership alignment, and operational understanding often remain unchanged.
This is where change either becomes sustained… or slowly fades away.
Written by Martin Kerr, Organizational Change Management for Asset Management bridges the gap between technical Asset Management implementation and the human side of organizational transformation.
Whether your organization is beginning its Asset Management journey or trying to embed and sustain maturity already achieved, this book provides practical insight into how Organizational Change Management (OCM) can support long-term value realisation.
Why This Book Matters
Asset-intensive organisations operate in complex environments where decisions around assets directly impact:
- Cost
- Risk
- Performance
- Service delivery
- Safety
- Assurance
- Adaptability
- Sustainability
Implementing Asset Management is not simply about compliance to standards such as International Organization for Standardization ISO 55001.
It requires organizations to shift thinking, align leadership, strengthen governance, improve communication, and create clarity around decision-making.
This book explores how Organizational Change Management becomes the mechanism that helps organizations embed Asset Management.

A Practical Companion to Sustainable Asset Management
Asset Management is ultimately about value.
But value is only realised when people understand the intent, support the direction, and operate consistently within it.
Organizational Change Management for Asset Management provides a practical perspective on how organizations can move beyond implementation and toward sustained embedment.
If your organization is seeking to strengthen Asset Management capability, align people with strategy, and create meaningful long-term change, this book provides a practical foundation to support that journey.
