Understanding why your assets exist is a simple yet important question for leaders to ask. Once we understand this, we then need to ensure our strategic asset management approaches, maintenance plans and renewal triggers are supporting the reason for existing.  Asset Management is about balancing risk, cost, availability, and safety within the constraints of your business environment.

These Asset Management leaders will discuss how they have tuned their asset management approaches to align to organisational goals and are managing their assets for the full asset life cycle.

• Understanding why your assets exist.
• Balancing ideal asset management with operational imperatives.
