Listen "11 Calling Uber with a PDF: The Absurdity of Facility and Asset Data Today"
Episode Synopsis
Most owners are still trying to manage their facilities and assets with static PDFs and mutating Excel files, like calling an Uber by downloading a spreadsheet of cars. From projects to existing buildings to business plans, the result is a virus that mutates into a plague: endless rework, wasted resources, and consultants paid to treat the symptoms over and over.In this Café Zai session with the Asset Leadership Network, we explore why owners remain stuck in the blue pill illusion, and why the red pill cure is already here. With governance, standards, and enforcement, owners can administer structured, interoperable, living data across projects, facilities, and business plans.Featuring Michael Bordenaro (Executive Director, ALN), Cyril Verley (President, CDV Systems), and Kimon Onuma (Onuma, Inc.).
