Colife Playbook

What is the Colife playbook?

The Colife Playbook aims to help industrial organizations and their partners identify, share, govern and utilize asset lifecycle data to create mutual business value, improve operational performance, and enable new data-driven services. It provides practical guidance for building collaborative asset management ecosystems by addressing business opportunities, governance models, data quality, interoperability, and technology choices, helping organizations transition from isolated asset management practices toward ecosystem-level value creation and sustainable data economy solutions.

The Colife playbook helps to:
  • understand what is collaborative asset management and what that could offer,
  • why traditional asset management is no longer enough (changing mindset), and ​
  • provide guidance how to mobilise asset data for collaborative win-win production asset management.​
