What we do

Four problems we get called in to fix.

From a focused diagnostic to a full program build, every Whites Elm engagement is scoped to the problem in front of you — and to leave your team stronger than we found it.

Strategy & Governance

When your capital plan can’t survive the board meeting.

Asset management programs that fit your goals, your risk tolerance, and your funding realities. Defensible to executives, usable by crews.

  • AM program strategy, development & improvement
  • Capital & deferred-maintenance prioritization
  • Risk- and lifecycle-based decision frameworks
  • Executive coaching, steering team facilitation & board support

Asset Intelligence

When you have data, but no decisions.

Practical, usable insight into asset health and performance, without over-engineering or waiting for “perfect” data. Inventories and analytics that ship.

  • Asset & facility inventories
  • Condition, deficiency & risk frameworks
  • Backlog & deficiency management
  • Capital & sustainment planning support

Operations & EAM/CMMS

When your $400K CMMS is quietly failing.

Where strategy meets the work order. We design processes and systems that survive contact with the field, and rescue EAM/CMMS rollouts that have stalled.

  • Maintenance & work-management design
  • EAM/CMMS health-checks & recovery
  • Process simplification & governance
  • Utilities, energy & industrial systems support

Training & Workforce

When the program dies the day we leave.

We build capable, confident teams who sustain improvements long after we’re gone. Role-based training and coaching for leaders, planners, supervisors, field technicians, and crews.

  • Asset management & facilities training
  • Role-based curricula & immersion sessions
  • Workshops & peer-learning cohorts
  • Change enablement & adoption support

Specialized Capability

IBM Maximo Practice

Whether you’re standing up Maximo Application Suite, migrating off Maximo 7.6, or recovering a stalled deployment, we bring decades of hands-on Maximo experience to the work. Vendor-agnostic by default, deep in Maximo when that’s your system.

  • MAS migration & modernization
  • Implementation recovery
  • Configuration & workflow design
  • Asset hierarchy & data model
  • Reporting & analytics
  • Integration architecture
How we engage

Three engagement shapes, scoped to fit the job.

We don’t package services into rigid offerings. Most engagements fall into one of three shapes, chosen with you, based on what the work actually needs.

When we’re a fit

Built for organizations that want to execute.

We’re not for everyone — and that’s intentional. We work best with organizations that value practical execution, operational clarity, and long-term capability over short-term optics.

Yes, this sounds like us

  • You need decisions you can defend in front of a board, not a glossy report.
  • Your team has the talent, they need a clearer system, not more consultants.
  • You want a partner who will sit with your team in the work, not parachute in with a binder.
  • You believe internal capability outlasts any retainer, and you’re ready to build it.

No, probably not a fit

  • You want a 200-page report you can put on a shelf and tell the board you addressed it.
  • You’re looking for a long-term staff-augmentation arrangement rather than capability transfer.
  • The work needs to be done without involving the people who’ll have to live with the result.
  • You need an answer by Friday and aren’t open to a different question.
