Selected experience

Experience across asset management, information and digital delivery.

Selected examples from complex, asset-intensive and regulated environments. They show how Novantis combines engineering, asset management, information, enterprise architecture and digital delivery in practice.

Selected evidence

Three recurring kinds of problem.

Each theme pairs work delivered through Novantis with relevant experience Tom brings from earlier roles. The emphasis is on the problem, contribution and useful result.

Asset management as an enterprise system

Align the management system, operating model and technology.

Asset management creates value when it shapes decisions across functions, suppliers and delivery.

Delivered through Novantis

Shaping a capability-led EAM ecosystem.

A major UK nuclear-decommissioning estate with a large legacy application and information landscape.

Purpose: Move from isolated system initiatives to an enterprise view of digitally enabled asset management.
Contribution: Connected strategic outcomes to operating capabilities, processes, information, applications, governance and change; shaped discovery, target-state relationships, requirements, roadmaps and portfolio priorities.
Useful result: A clearer enterprise view and a more credible route from digital asset-management ambition into coordinated decisions and delivery.

Founder track record

Embedding an enterprise Asset Management System.

A multi-organisation naval infrastructure enterprise preparing for a new operating and contractual model.

Purpose: Make asset management the organising system across strategy, engineering, projects, maintenance, operations, information and assurance.
Contribution: Helped establish the joint vision and operating model; developed strategic asset-management planning, the Asset Management Plan framework, maturity assessments and transformation roadmap; then designed and embedded the enterprise management system.
Useful result: Asset management was integrated into the organisation’s top-level management system and certification to ISO 55001 was achieved.

Operational information and intelligent maintenance

Build operational information and maintenance capability around real decisions.

The difficult work sits around the technology: engineering context, trusted information, operating processes, governance, adoption and a route from one useful experiment to repeatable capability.

Delivered through Novantis

Taking smart maintenance beyond an isolated pilot.

A regulated, asset-intensive enterprise seeking earlier warning of equipment degradation and a repeatable way to deploy condition and predictive maintenance.

Purpose: Establish the wider enterprise capability while proving how live operational data and anomaly detection could support engineering and maintenance decisions.
Contribution: Shaped the service model across people, process, information, technology and governance, including reusable patterns and the deployment lifecycle. Led the wider engineering solution for the proof of value, covering architecture, requirements, user journeys, integration, testing and its supporting information environment.
Useful result: Enterprise capability design and a working demonstrator were brought together, creating practical evidence and a reusable basis for decisions about future deployment.

Founder track record

Creating a joined-up asset-information environment.

A complex operational estate with asset records, engineering documents, maintenance data, geospatial information and analytics distributed across different systems and teams.

Purpose: Create trusted information foundations while making operational and strategic decision support more accessible.
Contribution: Established information strategy, requirements, governance, ownership, stewardship and data-quality improvement; designed the asset-information architecture across project and in-service needs; and conceived and built the initial integrated environment connecting structured records, documents, geography and insight.
Useful result: A common foundation for managing and exploiting asset information, designed broadly enough for later teams to extend without reverting to disconnected point solutions.

Strategy carried into delivery

Connect strategy, governance and delivery.

Roadmaps, architecture and governance become valuable when people can use them to choose, sequence, deliver and learn.

Delivered through Novantis

Connecting transformation intent to governed delivery.

A complex transformation portfolio in which strategies, roadmaps, projects, resources and governance were managed across separate documents and tools.

Purpose: Create a usable thread from strategic objectives and investment priorities through initiatives, delivery and realised outcomes.
Contribution: Conceived the product, designed its information and application architecture, developed the working solution and led its evolution with users—joining roadmaps, delivery, dependencies, capacity, governance, knowledge and benefits.
Useful result: A single structured environment providing clearer traceability, integrated governance and organisational memory across transformation planning and delivery.

Founder track record

Leading an enterprise EAM implementation.

An engineering and estate-services business replacing a legacy asset-management system while integrating work across several operational functions.

Purpose: Introduce improved, integrated engineering, asset and service-management processes rather than reproduce the limitations of the legacy system.
Contribution: Led the relevant process streams from design and functional requirements through implementation, data preparation, migration and cutover, working between operational users and specialist implementation teams. Later established a multidisciplinary function spanning information, applications, analytics, quality and change.
Useful result: Integrated processes and prepared asset information were brought into the new enterprise environment, with an enduring internal capability established to coordinate continued improvement.

Relevant territory

A wider base to draw on.

This is not a menu of separate services. It is the wider territory Tom can draw on when an assignment crosses boundaries or needs context quickly.

Asset management and maintenance

ISO 55000 and ISO 55001; asset-management systems, maturity and improvement
Strategic asset-management plans, asset-management plans and asset strategies
EAM, CMMS and CAFM change; maintenance and service-management processes
Criticality, risk, reliability, condition monitoring and asset-health decisions

Information and architecture

Asset, technical, project and operational information requirements and governance
ISO 19650, BIM, common data environments and project-to-operation handover
Enterprise, business, information, application and solution architecture
Data quality, integration, geospatial information, analytics and decision support

Digital products and services

Digital product and service discovery, ownership and roadmaps
Business analysis, requirements, user journeys and service design
Microsoft 365, Power Platform, low-code solutions, dashboards and workflow
Prototyping, development, testing, deployment, adoption and iterative improvement

Transformation and operating environments

Programme and portfolio planning, dependencies, capacity, governance and benefits
Naval-base and defence infrastructure; complex nuclear-decommissioning estates
Brownfield facilities, utilities, energy systems, HV networks and SCADA
Systems engineering, technical assurance, bids, mobilisation and multidisciplinary delivery
