One Day Seminar, 4 November 2011, Sydney
Stop Press: Matthew Roberts, NSW Treasury Deputy Secretary – Economic, Environment and Communities, will be joining the symposium program.
Matthew’s presentation will include:
- The fiscal context and the need for enhanced management and accountability
- Infrastructure NSW – role and responsibilities
- Ensuring the financial framework facilitates asset acquisition and management.
Organisations, particularly those in asset intensive industries, are facing a challenge in regard to whether they invest in asset management. This symposium will provide different perspectives and discussion on whether it is optional, useful or essential for organisations of the future. In particular, this symposium will explore how the new international standard on asset management will impact the landscape and how that standard interacts with another new standard on dependability. This symposium is intended to provoke debate and thought on how organisations can better utilise asset management.
The speakers are leaders in their field of expertise and will articulate their own perspectives on asset management. The symposium will also include feedback on the progress and implications of the new ISO standard together with discussion from specialists driving the new standard on dependability.
Places are limited so please reserve your seat quickly! Download registration brochure here

Transfield Services is a global provider of a wide range of services to a broad customer base. It recently faced the challenge of having to deliver generic technical asset management improvements for its Infrastructure group while ensuring a usable platform was also delivered for the entire global asset management business. Barry Billings was the business lead for this project. Barry will outline the approaches used and lessons learnt from developing an integrated SAP/ ESRI GIS mobility solution and talk through the areas of people, process and technology. He will also discuss a fresh approach to defining user requirements, aligning the solution to a customer focused process model, realising the ‘real’ value of data and the importance of change management.
