About Our Presentation
Join us February 18 for an in-depth look at “Asset Management Program Overview and Maturity Assessment”, presented by Jenn Gross, GEI's Canadian Asset Management Practice Lead.
Asset owners are increasingly expected to deliver more with limited resources, managing infrastructure while planning for new investments. Asset Management (AM) is far more than software - it is a systematic, organization wide approach to managing assets to maximize value while balancing risk and criticality, cost, and service levels.
This Industry Insight presentation introduces the core concepts of AM, leading practices, and the strategic benefits for infrastructure focused organizations. It outlines the operational context of AM and provides a clear overview of comprehensive programs, including lifecycle strategies, data and information practices, financial planning, while introducing how all these components can be incorporated into an Asset Management Plan.
The presentation also explores the AM Maturity Assessment framework, highlighting competency levels across governance, leadership, data, planning, and organizational knowledge. It concludes with an opportunity for organizations to assess their AM maturity and identify pathways for continuous improvement.
Our February presentation promises to be both entertaining and informative. Make your reservations today! You won’t want to miss this.
