ZOP1019: Asset Management for Managers

Program Overview

The Asset Management for Managers Program is a structured workshop on decision making for physical assets. The Program is based on the understanding that assets exist to support organisational goals and that their management requires organisational leadership, structured engagement with a range of stakeholders, risk-based decisions, and a whole of asset life view. Participants apply tools and processes that reflect current thinking within major asset owning organisations and professional bodies to a number of case studies involving asset-level and organisational level challenges.

Designed for

Content and outcomes are geared towards (a) managers with operational or maintenance responsibility for assets, (b) technical specialists driving asset management programs, (c) consultants servicing the AM sector, and (d) accounting and supply-chain personnel interfacing with asset management functions.

Organisations are encouraged to send groups of three to five managers from different functional areas or involved in different stages of the asset life cycle. For organisational groups, with a minimum of three participants, an additional two-hour facilitated session will be offered following the program. This session will assist individual groups in developing a set of priorities and plans for their organisation.

Content
