What if your electrical assets weren't just infrastructure — but strategic business drivers? In this episode, Berend Booms sits down with Matthew Wise , VP & Head of Strategy and Business Development at ABB Electrification Service , to unpack why the shift from input-based to outcome-based asset management is reshaping entire industries. Matt brings sharp insight from ABB's frontline — managing over 80 million assets across 50+ countries — on how converging technologies like AI, predictive analytics, and real-time monitoring are moving organizations from reactive maintenance to true system orchestration. What we cover: Why traditional service contracts are no longer fit for purpose Where AI is genuinely adding value — and where it's falling short How to align sustainability and performance as complementary goals The organizational silos quietly killing asset optimization What resilience looks like in an increasingly unpredictable world If you work in asset-intensive industries — this is essential listening.
