Organisational Change Management (OCM) for Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)
Many Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) programmes do not fail because of the software, the implementation partner, or the technology.
They struggle because the organisation has not changed alongside the system.
New processes are designed. Data is migrated. EAM platforms are configured and deployed. Yet behaviours, decision-making, governance, leadership alignment, and operational ownership often remain unchanged.
This is where transformation either becomes embedded… or the organisation gradually returns to old ways of working.
Written by Martin Kerr and Peter Kerr, Organisational Change Management for Enterprise Asset Management bridges the gap between Organisational Change Management (OCM) and the Management of Change (MoC), two complementary disciplines that are essential for successful Enterprise Asset Management transformation.
Whether your organisation is implementing its first EAM solution, replacing a legacy system, or seeking to embed and sustain new ways of working, this book provides practical guidance, proven frameworks, and real-world insights to help organisations realise lasting value from their people, processes, technology, and assets.
Why This Book Is FREE
When we began writing this book, we made a conscious decision that knowledge should never be a barrier to better change. Too many Enterprise Asset Management projects struggle, not because people lack commitment, but because practical guidance is difficult to find or locked behind expensive training and publications. We wanted to change that.
By making this book freely available, our hope is that its ideas, lessons, and frameworks will be shared, discussed, adapted, and applied by practitioners around the world. If it helps a project avoid common pitfalls, enables a leader to better support their people, or assists an organisation in realising greater value from its Enterprise Asset Management investment, then it has achieved its purpose.
An Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) implementation is not the destination.
Organisational capability is!
Why This Book Matters
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) implementations are among the most complex business transformations an organisation can undertake. While technology enables new capabilities, sustainable success depends on the organisation changing alongside the system.
Decisions made throughout an EAM transformation directly influence:
- Business performance
- Asset performance
- Risk and compliance
- Cost and investment
- Service delivery
- Safety and operational resilience
- Data quality and decision-making
- Long-term organisational capability
Implementing an EAM solution is not simply about deploying software or completing a project. It requires organisations to redesign business processes, establish clear governance, improve data quality, develop new capabilities, align leadership, and support people as they adopt new ways of working.
This book explores how Organisational Change Management (OCM) and the Management of Change (MoC) work together to transform Enterprise Asset Management from a technology implementation into a sustainable organisational capability. It provides practical guidance for aligning people, process, technology, data, governance, and culture so that organisations not only deliver successful projects but also realise lasting value from their Enterprise Asset Management investment.

A Practical Companion to Successful Asset Management Transformation
Enterprise Asset Management is ultimately about creating lasting organisational capability.
But lasting capability is only achieved when people embrace new ways of working, leaders reinforce the change, and technology, processes, and data evolve together.
Organisational Change Management for Enterprise Asset Management provides a practical perspective on how organisations can move beyond system implementation and towards sustainable business transformation by integrating Organisational Change Management (OCM) with the Management of Change (MoC).
Whether your organisation is implementing a new EAM solution, replacing a legacy platform, or embedding Enterprise Asset Management as business as usual, this book provides practical guidance, proven frameworks, and real-world insights to help realise lasting value from people, processes, technology, data, and assets.
