Applying Asset Management

Welcome to this free course exploring the Global Forum on Maintenance and Asset Management (GFMAM) Asset Management Landscape Version 3 (2024), which is a global reference that defines the key subjects, knowledge areas, and perspectives that shape good asset management practice across industries.

This course has been designed to simplify the complex. Across seven subject areas and forty topics, you’ll gain a clear, practical understanding of what each element of the Landscape means for real organisations, not as theory, but as a framework for decision-making, leadership, and change.

Rather than approaching the AM Landscape purely from a technical or compliance viewpoint, this course introduces a leadership and organisational change perspective. It considers:

• How each subject influences the way people, processes, and systems interact;
• The cultural and behavioural shifts required to embed asset management thinking;
• The typical challenges leaders face when translating standards into practice, and
• Practical remedies, tips, and alignment strategies to help guide your organisation’s journey.

You’ll also see how each subject aligns to ISO 55001:2024, connecting the GFMAM Landscape to the international requirements for an asset management system. This correlation helps you understand not only what good looks like, but also how to demonstrate it in practice.

Throughout the course, the emphasis is on clarity, connection, and change, enabling you to see how the Landscape fits together as a coherent model for value creation across the asset life cycle.

By the end of this FREE course, you’ll be able to:

• Explain the intent of each of the 40 Landscape subjects in plain language;
• Identify the leadership and change management implications of each subject.
• Recognise where each element aligns with ISO 55001:2024; and
• Apply these insights to strengthen your organisation’s asset management maturity.

Whether you are a leader, practitioner, or emerging professional, this course is designed to make the Landscape accessible, actionable, and meaningful helping you move beyond compliance toward genuine organisational alignment and performance improvement.
