The core series
A book for every asset type and every competency.
The two series follow the framework itself: fourteen asset lifecycle frameworks for pillar 1, fourteen competency frameworks for pillar 3, and two implementation guides to put them to work.
Asset lifecycle frameworks
Plan to retire for each asset type, with its own maturity dimensions.
Competency frameworks
Specialised lenses that define quality and maturity for every asset type.
Implementation tools
Technology lenses
Optional series for the technology you run.
Each lens has three books: an integration guide, the asset lifecycle seen through the lens, and a competency deep dive. The core books stay the same.
AI lens series
Blockchain lens series
New lenses are added as technologies mature, without changing the core.
