The Melbourne Chapter’s August technical session was focussed on capability development in asset management. Sandy Dunn, AMC member from the Perth Chapter and Managing Director of Assetivity, presented a range of views on the subject and generated a lot of interest. More than forty people attended the session at Engineering Australia’s Melbourne facilities.
This session discussed the application of a Capability Development Model, its strengths and opportunities for improvement.
The terms ‘capability’, ‘competence’ and ‘maturity’ are frequently used when discussing an organisation’s ability to deliver value from its assets – sometimes interchangeably. But these concepts are all quite different.
Sandy discussed the differences between ‘capability’, ‘competence’ and ‘maturity’ and how each contributes to the achievement of improved asset management performance.
He also presented examples of organisations that are working to improve their capability, competence and maturity in Asset Management, and the lessons that can be learned from those experiences.
Thank you to all those who attended. We look forward to the next Melbourne Chapter meeting, taking place on the 14th September, 2017, on the topic of climate change considerations. Further information on this event along with registration details can be found here.
