What We Do
At Planner HQ, we help maintenance and reliability professionals plan smarter, work more efficiently, and deliver greater impact.
We create practical resources that bridge the gap between theory and reality; books, toolkits, and training that give planners and CMMS specialists the structure, clarity, and confidence to perform at their best.
Our work is built around one simple belief: great maintenance doesn’t happen by chance, it is planned.
From the Maintenance Planner’s Playbook to the Planner HQ Guide To series and our growing suite of digital tools, everything we produce is designed to make planning easier, faster, and more effective. We focus on real-world application so you can turn proven concepts into daily results.
Planner HQ exists to raise the standard of maintenance planning across every industry, empowering professionals and organisations to move from reactive firefighting to reliable, data-driven performance.
How We Do It
We focus on clarity, practicality, and results.
Every Planner HQ resource starts with real-world experience, drawn from years spent planning, scheduling, and managing maintenance across diverse industries. We take what actually works in the field and turn it into clear, structured frameworks that any planner can apply straight away.
Our books and toolkits are written and designed to be easy to use, not just easy to read. Each one combines professional insight with practical templates, checklists, and exercises that help you build capability, not just knowledge.
We also believe in continuous improvement for both planners and Planner HQ itself. Our content evolves alongside the industry, shaped by feedback from professionals who use our resources every day.
Through this approach, we’re building more than a library of tools; we’re building a global community of planners who are better equipped, more confident, and genuinely proud of the work they do.
The Planner HQ Mission
To raise the standard of maintenance planning worldwide, by equipping every planner with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to deliver reliability that lasts.

Meet The Founder
Planner HQ was founded by Chris Diprose, a maintenance planning professional with over two decades of hands-on experience in CMMS, maintenance strategy, and asset management.
Chris has led reliability planning functions across pharmaceutical manufacturing sites and international logistics operations, as well as consulting on EAM implementation projects within major airport and rail networks. Through these experiences, he’s seen firsthand how the right systems, structures, and planning discipline can transform maintenance performance.
Planner HQ was built to share that knowledge and give maintenance planners and CMMS specialists the tools, training, and confidence that are too often missing from the role. The mission is simple: to raise the standard of maintenance planning worldwide and help professionals turn their planning work into a real driver of reliability and operational excellence.
