Best Practices In Implementing Lifecycle-based Asset Management Programs |
| Based on extensive research, experience and collaboration, this practical workshop will help you to apply best practices to your lifecycle asset management program.

The workshop will help to establish a comprehensive framework incorporating:
|
- Acquisition, operation, maintenance, renewal, and disposal costs
- Considerations for user cost

|
This practical workshop will ultimately give you the tools to determine a sustainability index for your infrastructure. |

Change Management Strategies: Solidifying Your Asset Management Team With A Clearly Defined Organizational Development Plan |
As municipal asset management takes a greater role in determining and closing the infrastructure gap, considerable organizational change must occur in a timely and smooth way. Information sharing, cooperation and collaboration between previously separate departments are key elements. An integrated change management plan focusing on organizational development will ensure that a municipality will be able to manage its infrastructure challenges efficiently and effectively.
