• IWFM Partners With Amey on Strategic Asset Management Guidance 

25 June 2025

Amey and the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management are looking to address the knowledge gap in strategic asset management amongst facilities managers.

The collaborative project has produced a new five-part series of Strategic Asset Management Good Practice Guides to help workplace and facilities managers build a better understanding of strategic asset management.

The Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM) argues that whilst FMs are more directly involved with the day-to-day management of assets, better knowledge of a building’s lifecycle can only be advantageous.

“Workplace and facilities managers are the lynchpin to organisational performance and asset management is key to their role in nearly every sector,” said IWFM’s Head of Policy and Insight, Andrew Gladstone-Heighton.

“We’ve all seen high profile stories about maintenance backlogs and the negative impact it can have for customer experience and the business bottom line.

“Our members identified a pressing need for a better understanding of strategic asset management in the workplace and facilities context. Partnering with Amey has enabled us to respond to this need with a comprehensive series of guides including tools and techniques to scope and deliver an SAM strategy that we are excited to launch today”

Amey’s Engineering Director, David O’Shaughnessy, added: “Strategic asset management is an essential aspect of how we work with our customers to ensure the longevity and efficiency of their infrastructure. By collaborating with IWFM to produce these comprehensive guides, we aim to equip workplace and facilities managers, and indeed the broader industry, with the necessary tools and knowledge to optimise asset lifecycles, ultimately driving value and enhancing operational performance.”

The guides are available free of charge to IWFM members here.
