UNSCRIPTED

Sometimes maximizing asset value is less about short-term optimization and more about building resilience over decades. In this episode of Assets UNSCRIPTED, host Berend Booms speaks with Markus Göring, Director of Asset Value Controlling at Vattenfall, about why resilience has become astrategic priority for asset-intensive organizations operating in an increasingly uncertain world.They explore where organizations most commonly lose assetvalue across the lifecycle, why risk-based maintenance is not optional but foundational to staying in control, and how deliberately balancing performance, cost, and risk over time is what ultimately creates resilient operations. Markus shares a pragmatic view on the realities of data and AI in assetmanagement, the role of operational readiness in preventing value erosion between projects and operations, and why transparency, clear ownership of assumptions, and cross-functional alignment matter more than tools or certifications.For leaders navigating short-term pressures, long assetlifespans, and growing volatility, this conversation offers a grounded, experience-based perspective on resilience as a strategy-not by trying to predict the future, but by staying in control and being prepared for it.
