Leave Maintenance Maturity to Cheese: APM Without the Wait

In this episode, CMMSradio interviews Alex Bolan from Digital Thinker Incorporated, who also supports Streamline Conferences. We explore a bold perspective on Asset Performance Management (APM), advocating for immediate operational excellence without waiting for so-called “maturity.” Bolan challenges traditional thinking in maintenance strategy and emphasizes cultural alignment, asset prioritization, and early action as keys to success in APM.

Bullet Points:

• Don’t wait for maturity—start APM now
• Challenge consulting mindsets that delay progress
• Focus on critical assets and maximizing return on asset (ROA)
• Importance of asking “why” before proposing solutions
• Culture and alignment matter more than tech maturity
