Using an asset information maturity model to improve data quality
Jules Congalton, Director & Principal, Asset Dynamics
Information quality is critical to asset management with both digitalisation and changing consumer patterns increasing dependence on accurate data. Maturity models provide a method for organisations to benchmark their current capability, map out an improvement strategy and measure progress. In 2021, the Electricity Engineers’ Association published an Asset Information Maturity Model for use by electricity generation, transmission and distribution organisations in New Zealand. This maturity model enables an assessment in four areas of asset information: strategy, standards, systems and data management.
The Asset Information Maturity Model has begun to be used at organisations within the New Zealand electricity sector. This presentation reports on the experience of applying this maturity model to identify organisational strengths and opportunities for improvement in asset information governance, quality assurance and information systems.
