A new industry platform dedicated to collaboration, continuous learning, and operational excellence in the asset management space has officially launched. The FM Asset Council is set to become a central hub for professionals across industries who are responsible for managing, maintaining, and optimizing physical assets.
Positioned at the intersection of facilities, operations, and technology, FM Asset Council was founded with a clear mission: to advance the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) industry through shared knowledge and collaboration. The Council provides a structured environment where asset professionals can exchange lessons learned, tackle shared challenges, and adopt practical strategies that drive efficiency, reliability, and innovation across the entire asset lifecycle.
“We saw a real need for a peer-driven space where professionals—whether managing data centers, hospitals, corporate campuses, or manufacturing plants—could come together and talk about what’s working, what’s not, and where the future of asset management is headed,” said a founding representative of the Council.
Bringing Real-World Challenges to the Forefront
At the core of the FM Asset Council’s programming are monthly meetings and community forums, where members dive into case studies, explore current pain points, and collaborate on forward-thinking solutions. These sessions are open to participants from all sectors and are designed to foster open dialogue and practical, implementable takeaways.
Topics covered in these forums reflect the full scope of modern EAM responsibilities, including:
- Asset Lifecycle Management – Managing assets from acquisition to retirement
- Preventive Maintenance Scheduling – Reducing downtime through smart planning
- Work Order Management – Streamlining execution and tracking of maintenance tasks
- Inventory & Spare Parts Optimization – Controlling cost while ensuring availability
- Real-time Data & Analytics – Leveraging insights to drive proactive action
- Mobile Access & Field Operations – Empowering technicians with tools in hand
- System Integration (ERP, CMMS, IoT) – Creating seamless digital ecosystems
Each session is designed to blend expert insights with member-driven experience, ensuring a balance of strategy and field-level reality.

FM Asset Council is open to professionals at all stages of their careers, from technicians and maintenance planners to facility directors and digital transformation leaders.

A Growing Community for a Growing Challenge
As the complexity of asset environments grows—with more data, more systems, and more regulatory demands—the FM Asset Council seeks to help organizations evolve from reactive management to proactive, data-driven excellence.
“Our mission is not just to talk about asset management—but to make it better, together,” the Council added. “We want to create a space where innovation is grounded in experience, and progress is powered by community.”
