- Value language
- Assurance language
Group Exercise
90-Day / 12-Month / 3-Year AI RoadmapFocused on assets, data integrity, and oversight — not tools.
Session 5: AI Roadmapping for Asset-Intensive Organisations

Key Topics
Sequencing AI initiatives:- Quick wins vs foundational capability
- Data
- People
- Governance
- Change management

Executive Exercise
Data Trust Stress Test:Participants assess one critical asset dataset against integrity and AI-readiness criteria.
Session 3: Data Integrity, Quality & Trust in AI Systems
Purpose - Address the real blocker: data trust.
Key Topics
Why AI amplifies data integrity problems Common data failures in asset-heavy environments:- Fragmented systems
- Poor master data
- Sensor noise
- Human workarounds
- Anomaly detection in data streams
- Validation and reconciliation
- Automated quality checks
- Data ownership
- Lineage
- Auditability
Case Examples
Utilities, transport, property portfolios, energy assets Where AI delivered value — and where it didn’t
Session 2: Asset Performance & Value Creation with AI
Purpose - Focus on commercially defensible use cases tied to asset value.
Key Topics
AI applications across the asset lifecycle:- Design and commissioning
- Operations and maintenance
- Renewal and disposal
- Performance drift
- Data errors
- Emerging failures
- OPEX reduction
- CAPEX deferral
- Service-level performance
Discussion
“Where are we currently exposed — through not using AI?”

"Our tailored course provided a well rounded introduction and also covered some intermediate level topics that we needed to know. Clive gave us some best practice ideas and tips to take away. Fast paced but the instructor never lost any of the delegates"
