Webinar - Data as an Asset - Mapping infrastructure management principles to datasets
2023-09-19 12:00 - 12:30 | Online – Register to be sent your link
Data is increasingly being recognized as a valuable commodity that supports an increasing variety of business functions. However, while it has become well recognized that good management of our ‘hard’ infrastructure benefits from the application of asset management principles, the concept of data (in all its many varieties) as an infrastructure asset to be managed is still developing.
In this webinar, we explore the nature of data as an infrastructure asset, and how traditional asset management concepts such as value, level-of-service and expected life can be adapted to this novel asset class. Additionally, we discuss the distinction between management of data storage (which can be considered tangible) from management of the underlying, intangible, data itself.

Melbourne - Navigating Financial Constraints: The Evolution of AMAF in the Victorian Government
2025-03-12 17:30 - 19:30 | Grand Hotel (Gaylord Restaurant Conference Room), 33 Spencer Street, Docklands, VIC, 3008, Australia
Join us for an insightful session with guest speaker Nicholas Phillips, as we explore the evolving landscape of the Asset Management Accountability Framework (AMAF) within the Victorian Government. Nearly a decade since its inception, AMAF remains a key policy guiding asset management practices across government agencies. However, in the face of tight financial constraints, agencies are being forced to rethink their approach – balancing compliance, service outcomes, and operational efficiency with reduced funding.

This session will delve into how government agencies are adapting to funding challenges while maintaining their commitment to AMAF. We’ll compare the framework’s early vision with today’s reality and engage in a discussion on the current perceptions of government support. The interactive format of this in-person event will encourage audience participation, including a live poll to capture industry sentiment. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into how AMAF continues to shape asset management in Victoria amid shifting financial landscapes.
