Asset Management: Get your piece of the pie for Asset Management

As a Facilities Manager, you are the steward of the Assets you manage. This means maintaining and investing in the assets to meet your organization’s objectives, including preserving value, maintaining the right image and supporting the services delivered to the public.

Getting funding is tough since you are competing with other departments within your organization for your piece of the pie. Your lifecycle renewal efforts will go unfulfilled unless you can develop and sell your renewal projects.

• Understand what Asset Management really is about and how to do it
• Discover the best ways to develop requirements and establish a long-term Asset plan
• See how you can get the information you need and make the right decisions about lifecycle projects you need to do.
• Learn how to get attention for your lifecycle renewal needs
• Find out about tools and techniques to sell your projects and get funding
• See what you can do during the design/build phase to manage the asset easier after construction
