Scott Yates Email & Phone Number

20 years of experience in asset management consulting with recognized expertise in strategic asset management, enterprise asset management systems, asset lifecycle data interoperability, and digital transformation. I hold these truths to be self-evident:1. Asset management begins in the planning and design phases of the Asset Lifecycle, NOT at handover.2. The EAM of the future is geospatial-based, mobile-enabled and connected to IoT.3. The most critical success factors of any enterprise system implementation are organizational change management and data.4. Corollary to #3, the most effective method of organizational change is making the “right” way the “easy” way.5. Corollary to #3, you can’t shortcut good data: define standards and build those standards into your processes.6. You can’t continuously improve a process that is not first under control and measurable.7. EAM, IoT, Digital Twins, AI, [insert marketing term here], are programs not projects. There is no finish line, but you can find victories every single day!My career started as Business Analyst supporting Maximo at a bio-tech company and I quickly realized that a lot of people needed help effectively using Maximo and joined a consulting firm to do just that. I helped build that Maximo firm to be a recognized industry leader in multiple markets and realized that a lot of people needed help defining their data strategy and infrastructure to leverage the asset management technologies of the future so I joined an even larger strategic consulting firm to do just that. Let’s see where that takes me next!

Listed skills include Maximo, Business Analysis, Business Process Improvement, Process Improvement, and 20 others.
