Dr Monique Beedles - Setting Strategic Objectives

10/14/20 • 70 min

Asset Management; the accelerator for the Energy Transition and Resilience

"Setting Strategic Objectives is one of the key roles of the Board. For objectives to be achieved they need to be operationalised. Converting corporate objectives into asset management objectives is one of the ways this is done. I have too often been into companies who proudly show me their strategic plan, then I ask to see their monthly reports and there is no connection between the two."
Dr Monique Beedles, PhD in Strategic Management, Board Member and author of the book "Asset Management for Directors" shares her unique perspective.

Francis McDowell - An Uncomfortable Truth About Asset Information Systems

How should an organization regard Asset Information Systems within its Asset Management?

When considering asset management, many organizations work from the IT solution back, rather than from the business requirements forward. They don’t realize that the principles that define AM should be designed into existing business processes and that this should be done before implementing a new asset registry or management system.

Listen to Francis McDowell, Managing Director of Innovative Thinking (IT), as he shares insights from many years of experience in "design to delivery" implementation of ICT systems for health, transportation, nuclear sciences, telecommunications, and water companies that are on an AM journey.
