SUMMARY:Melbourne - The Capital Investment Playbook - Building Defensible Business Cases
DESCRIPTION:Every asset management leader has experienced it. \nThe condition data is solid. \nThe risk is real. \nThe numbers stack up. \nAnd yet the funding request stalls\, gets deferred\, or comes back with questions that have nothing to do with the engineering. \nThis is not a data problem. It is a framing problem.\nIn this session\, Shane Scriven walks through SAS-AM’s Capital Investment Playbook. First published in the AMC Journal March 2026. Attendees will learn how Boards actually read papers\, what each of the five director archetypes is looking for\, and how to anchor an asset management proposal to an existing Risk Appetite Statement. \nThe session covers five repeatable plays\, from deferred maintenance through to decarbonisation and capability uplift\, and gives everyone a portable mental model they can take into the next business case cycle. \nYou will leave with: \n\nA seven-block structure for any Board paper\nA translation layer from engineering KPIs to clinical outcomes\nA pre mortem template you can run with your team this week\nFive reusable Plays\n\nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Shane Scriven is the founder and Managing Director of SAS Asset Management\, an Australian advisory and analytics firm that helps asset owners across health\, transport\, resources and the public sector turn engineering knowledge into defensible investment decisions. He has spent two decades working with operators of complex\, high consequence assets\, and has personally led capital business cases through Treasury gates\, executive committees\, and Boards of Directors. Shane writes and speaks regularly on asset investment strategy\, decision quality\, and the persistent gap between technical evidence and the way leadership groups approve funding.

SUMMARY:Melbourne - Asset Investment Planning: Critical Success Factors for a Strategic Business Function
DESCRIPTION:Asset Investment Planning (AIP) is a critical function of any asset intensive organisation. When performed well\, organisations can unlock significant capital and generate additional value for stakeholders. Conversely\, inadequate AIP practices often result in elevated lifecycle costs\, uncoordinated activities and an underperforming asset portfolio that poses service interruptions\, public safety risks and misalignment with evolving societal needs. \nThe presenter\, Rory Gibbons\, brings over a decade of expertise in implementing AIP frameworks across both public and private sectors. With comprehensive experience spanning diverse industries including education\, local government\, maritime infrastructure\, transportation\, and water utilities\, Rory has successfully delivered AIP initiatives across an extensive range of assets from municipal streetlighting to critical national port infrastructure. \nIn the session\, Rory will share a selection of key learnings and case studies from his professional portfolio which will demonstrate the successful application of AIP principles. Rory will emphasise the importance of project fundamentals\, the power of asset criticality and the need for a multilingual expression of outcomes. Furthermore Rory will highlight common watchouts and provide tips that can become strength multipliers for your AIP practices. \nClick here to register\n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Rory Gibbons is an Asset Services Team Lead at Brightly\, where he leads asset investment planning projects for APAC clients. As a chartered asset management & engineering professional with over 14 years in the industry\, Rory has extensive experience working with infrastructure\, throughout all lifecycle stages and across a broad range of sectors\, including local government\, ports\, energy\, transport and water. Rory is dedicated to helping clients optimise value and achieve sustainable infrastructure outcomes through strategic asset management initiatives.

This keynote will introduce Te Waihanga Infrastructure Commission’s role in the investment management system and outline how the National Infrastructure Plan\, the Government response\, and the Commission’s emerging asset management assurance function are shaping expectations for stronger\, more disciplined asset management across central government.  \nThe presentation will provide a practical overview of Te Waihanga’s Asset Management and Investment Planning Guidance\, with a particular focus on meeting Cabinet’s requirements\, performance metrics\, and the shift from project-led decision-making to long-term\, portfolio-based asset management planning. While the Guidance is directed at central government agencies\, the principles are relevant to all asset-intensive organisations: better use of evidence\, demand and economic forecasts; stronger whole-of-life planning; and ensuring that business cases are grounded in robust asset management and investment plans – moving beyond short-term responses and building the strategic foundations needed.  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Jessie Lea is Special Advisor for Asset Management at the Infrastructure Commission\, leading initiatives to improve asset management across central government. A Chartered Planning and Development Surveyor (MRICS) with over 20 years’ experience in property and asset management in the UK and NZ\, she is shaping long-term strategies aligned with the National Infrastructure Plan and Cabinet’s asset management programme. Jessie advocates for elevating asset management professionalism within government\, driving meaningful change and equipping agencies with tools and guidance to deliver effective practices.\n		\n			\n		\n\nMaritime Fleet Renewal Programme \nAn overview of the Maritime Fleet Renewal Programme\, the largest acquisition and transformational programme ever undertaken by the NZDF and some of the workforce\, engineering and logistical considerations as the programme progresses. \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			CDR Phil Bradshaw is a Marine Engineer who has held a diverse range of roles including leadership of the Navy’s Marine Engineering Training School\, two years as Marine Engineering Head of Department onboard an operational Frigate and four years as resident Naval representative for the lower South Island. Since promotion to Commander he has been Director of the Defence Media and PR Organisation\, held responsibility for the introduction into service of major maritime capital projects\, been Deputy Chief Naval Engineer\, Chief of Staff for HQ Defence Logistics Command and is currently leading the infrastructure component of the MFR programme.\n		\n			\n		\n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			CDR Robyn Locke is a marine engineer with a specialty in naval architecture. She started her career in the Canadian Navy\, serving at sea on HMCS Regina and Fredericton and ashore in naval architecture focused areas. She joined the NZDF in 2018\, working in engineering policy and regulation before joining the MFR programme as the Technical Lead.\n		\n			\n		\n\nInnovating to deliver New Zealand’s electrified future \nAs New Zealand electrifies in an environment where resource costs are escalating ahead of inflation\, at Transpower it’s more important than ever that we innovate to meet the growing demands of our work. \nAs the owner and operator of the national grid and a major infrastructure builder\, we put considerable effort into keeping our costs as low as possible without sacrificing reliability or moving too slowly for New Zealand’s electrification needs. We have a number of work programmes underway to do this\, including carefully managing our assets to get as much life out of them as possible\, and a new challenge to help us accelerate key improvement activities underway to increase throughput and find savings for the long term while delivering on committed outcomes. \nThis is about working smarter and building on what we are already doing well\, while adapting and innovating as an organisation to continue to deliver for New Zealanders. \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			James Kilty joined Transpower as Chief Executive in February 2025\, prior to that he was Chief Executive at Powerco for three years. He has 25 years’ experience in the energy industry\, holding a range of leadership roles at Contact Energy including Deputy Chief Executive\, and has held a range of industry Board and leadership roles. James holds an LLB (Hons) (1st class) from Waikato University and has completed both the Harvard Business School High Potential Leadership Course and the Advanced Management Programme at Chicago University Booth Business School.\n		\n			\n		\n\nElectrifying Auckland’s ferry fleet \nAuckland Transport’s Low Emission Ferry Programme is delivering a significant ferry asset transition\, responding to the dual challenge of fleet renewal and decarbonisation. While ferries carry only around 6% of Auckland’s public transport passengers\, they account for approximately 20% of its emissions highlighting both the urgency and opportunity for change.  \nThis paper outlines how Auckland is enabling electric ferry operations through the deployment of fast charging infrastructure\, including New Zealand’s first marine Megawatt Charging System (MCS) installation. Operating at up to 3.3 MW\, this infrastructure supports rapid ‘opportunity charging’ during passenger boarding\, enabling electric vessels to maintain existing timetables without requiring additional vessels or operational compromise.  \nDelivering this capability within constrained waterfront environments and legacy electricity networks has required innovative approaches to both engineering design\, system integration\, and ongoing asset management. Key challenges include maintaining high operational reliability\, integrating emerging international standards that are still under development\, and enabling the flexibility to adapt to future industry direction.  \nA central feature of the charging solution is the use of advanced load management\, allowing ferry charging demand to be actively managed as a flexible load. This enables peak demand to be reduced\, network constraints to be respected\, and existing infrastructure to be utilised more efficiently without overbuilding network capacity.  \nAs the first vessels and charging systems transition into operation\, Auckland’s experience demonstrates how complex transport electrification can be delivered while balancing performance\, cost\, and risk to do more with less.  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Nathan Cammock is a chartered electrical engineer and Programme Director for Auckland Transport’s Low Emission Ferry Programme. He has experience delivering complex programmes of work as an asset owner\, consultant\, and construction contractor across power transmission\, distribution\, and generation sectors – both locally and in the UK. Nathan joined Auckland Transport in 2020\, and has led road safety initiatives\, busway construction\, and more recently the renewal and electrification of Auckland’s public transport ferry fleet.\n		\n			\n		\n\nREG Consistent Condition Data for NZ Roads – efficient delivery enabling effective decision making and vice cersa \nConsistent condition data is important in the transport sector’s approach to lifecycle asset management\, benchmarking\, performance management and investment decision making.  The Road Efficiency Group Te Ringa Maimoa (REG) is delivering the first phase of the Consistent Condition Data Collection (CCDC) project: sealed pavement surfacing data collection of all local authority roads.  This presentation outlines how the programme was developed\, the business case objectives\, and what the data is enabling – benchmarking and better investment decision making.  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			 Dawn Inglis is the Manager of RIMU – Road Infrastructure Measurement & Use – a business unit within Co-Lab\, in the Waikato. RIMU plays a key role in delivering the Consistent Data Collection Contract (CCDC) project for the Road Efficiency Group Te Ringa Maimoa (REG) programme. A Fellow of Engineering NZ\, Dawn is a passionate and experienced engineer who has spent most of her career in local government. She brings deep expertise in transport asset management\, having previously served as Group Manager Service Delivery at Waipā District Council and Manager of RATA (Regional Asset Technical Accord).\n		\n			\n		\n\nRisk based decision making and asset management planning for the RNZN \nIn May 2022\, Babcock Australasia commenced its journey toward achieving and maintaining ISO 55001 certification. A key milestone in this process was the establishment of an effective asset management team comprising of a support\, asset risk and assurance.  \nA structured approach has enabled the creation of comprehensive Asset Management Plans which forecast maintenance and cost until EOL.  This structured approach has also enabled Decision-makers to confidently approve treatment actions based on clearly defined Risk detail incorporating evidence of impact\, likelihood and mitigation details.  \nRisk Management is a key part of Asset Management. Knowing a risk is there is the easy part. Getting that information to the right person who can make the decision to improve it is the hard part. Technical teams and executive leadership speak fundamentally different languages\, and neither side has developed adequate translation tools.  \nIt is not easy to develop this competency across an organisation. In this presentation\, we’ll look at some examples of good and bad risk communication\, provide some tricks and hints on developing engineers to work well with others\, and develop your skills at getting your decisions made.  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Philip Conroy joined the Royal Navy in 2000 as a Marine Engineer.
