Perth - Evolving Standards in Asset Management: Insights into Global Practices and ISO Updates
2025-02-10 16:30 - 19:00 (Australia/Perth) | State Library of WA, 25 Francis Street, Perth, WA, 6000
In 2024, the Industry has seen updates to two key artefacts on asset management. These include:

ISO55001, the International Standard on Asset Management; and
The Asset Management Landscape Third Edition

Both these artefacts have been updated after a decade. Representatives of the Asset Management Council have played an active role in review, development and revision of these artefacts. As key documents that outline good industry practice on asset management, it is useful to get insights into the updates and their practical implications. This session is an in-person session hosted at Western Power’s head office in Perth. It will contain two sessions: In session 1: Ankur Maheshwari will walk us through the updates in The Asset Management Landscape (the Third edition) and their practical implications. Ankur will provide a perspective of what the changes mean in practical sense, not just an academic view. Ankur was Asset Management Councils project manager for review phase of the Asset Management Landscape and Asset Management Council lead for a section during the revision phase of the Landscape. In session 2: Martin Kerr (Convener of ISO55001:2024) will walk us through the ISO550xx suite and provide insights into how it was developed, some of the considerations and challenges, and, of course, what it means for those who are already certified and for those who are looking to become certified.

Melbourne - Navigating Financial Constraints: The Evolution of AMAF in the Victorian Government
2025-03-12 17:30 - 19:30 (Australia/Melbourne) | 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.

Brisbane - How complex systems fail: Lessons from Boeing’s 737 MAX 8 crashes
2025-05-14 17:00 - 19:00 (Australia/Melbourne) | Engineers Australia Auditorium, Level 9, 340 Adelaide Street, Brisbane City, QLD, 4000, Australia
Many of us think in Newtonian terms, meaning that when we examine systems, we tend to think there is a direct link between cause and effect – everything that happens has a definite, identifiable cause and a definite effect. And there is symmetry between cause and effect: the seriousness of the effect is related to the seriousness of the cause – big failures happen because of big causes, and small failures because of small ones.
But intuitively we know this doesn’t hold up for certain, so-called ‘complex’, systems. Instead, we can have sudden changes in these systems, which often appear dramatic, but which have tiny causes. How then should we think about failure or dramatic change in these types of systems?
This session explores this question by examining the organisational causes of the two Boeing 737 MAX crashes that resulted in the deaths of 346 people.
This session comprises a presentation delivered by Sean Brady (Managing Director and Forensic Engineer at Brady Heywood), followed by a facilitated Q&A.
