Welcome to the web home of InspiraWorks, the technical consulting and services company of Terry Nelson, providing services primarily in two areas.

Physical Asset Management

Physical Asset Management is a cutting edge approach bringing together advanced maintenance management practices with long term planning and management for succession of physical assets and systems in order to sustain desired systemic levels of service economically and efficiently.  It was born primarily out of public works areas due to the recent discovery and realization of the advanced aging state of long lived infrastructure assets with historically inadequate mechanism to fund and uphold condition over the long term.

Physical Asset Management is a relatively new and still forming discipline and set of practices.  Generally, the state of the art revolves around a few general principles of care manifesting in an assortment of basic processes.  Until recently, there was no structured and organized overall process for comprehensive Physical Asset Management.  That has changed with the advent of the Nexus Approach to Physical Asset Management^TM developed by Terry Nelson and made available through consulting, services, and tool sets through InspiraWorks.  The Nexus Approach to Physical Asset Management^TMis a structured framework that provides for knitting together existing and future systems desired and selected by client organizations to form a comprehensive and integrated Physical Asset Management program.

There are many levels to which Physical Asset Management can be applied from the small public utility merely attempting to budget and plan for hidden system degradation through advanced complex monitoring and proactive infrastructure sustaining programs.  InspiraWorks has and is interested in working with clients as diverses as world wide companies to small local organizations and groups to develop, implement, and refine Physical Asset Management solutions.  The Physical Asset Management portion of this website provides further information on Physical Asset Management, along with an additional website dedicated to the Nexus Approach to Physical Asset Management^TM that can be found at www.napam.net.  The Services section of this website provides additional information about how to contact and work with Terry Nelson.

Computers & Systems

Computer systems should adapt to and support the business practices of the using organization or individuals.  However, all to often, organizations and individuals find themselves adapting to their computer systems.  The world of hardware, networks, software, integration, and environments can be overwhelming and far outside the core expertise of today's business environments.  Making the components of that world function synergistically and in ways that most fully and directly support the business practices and culture at hand, particularly when those practices do not center on computer system skills, is an important aspect that Terry Nelson is skilled at accomplishing.  From basic system design to customized software tool sets, Terry can help bring your computer systems into alignment and support of your business processes that you can run without being held hostage by computer system specialists.

Metabusiness

There is more to business than the central themes that define what a business offers.  Leadership and human principles, perception and understanding of the world around us, and our place in the supernatural all work to define who we are.  We are more than what we do.  The metabusiness portion of this website provides some of the "who" rather than "what" associated with Terry Nelson.
