With a packed room of eager professionals, Brian shared insights and strategies that are essential for any organization embarking on the journey to implement an Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) program. As many in the crowd know, managing a capital budget—often the result of major investments—can be challenging, especially when it’s driven by simple spreadsheets and subjective inputs that reflect competing priorities. For businesses seeking alignment with corporate strategies while optimizing the balance between risk and investment, EAM is the solution. However, it's a solution that many organizations shy away from, often due to the perceived complexity of the process.

Brian’s session tackled this head-on, providing a practical roadmap for navigating the challenges of EAM implementation. His approach focused on breaking down the seemingly daunting task into incremental, manageable steps—demystifying the algorithms and analytics that are vital for success. He emphasized that while EAM is complicated, it doesn't have to be complex.

Attendees learned best practices for obtaining, managing, and analyzing data to make smarter, more informed decisions, as well as the essential processes and practices that lead to successful deployment. By the end of the session, participants walked away with clear strategies for ensuring that their organizations could implement EAM programs that align with their goals, maximize ROI, and ultimately drive long-term success.

We were thrilled to see such a strong turnout and the level of engagement during Brian's presentation. It’s always inspiring to be part of a community of professionals who are so committed to advancing the field of facility management and the broader built environment.
