  • Jennifer Edmonds, who talked about supporting your people through the alignment of ISO 5500X;
  • Mike McGrath, who presented a case study about the benefits, commitment and to change, and how stakeholders can leverage off ISO;
  • Daniel Masters and Michael Killeen, who presented the implementation tools and frameworks for ISO 55001; and
  • To finish the day, Peter Kohler, Jan Schipper, and William Wachsmann, a panel discussion with questions arising from the day’s presentations and debate.

The Asset Management Council is producing a guide to accompany the seminar. This guide will help asset management practitioners understand the implications of ISO 55001. It is designed to provide clarity on the scope of the ISO 5500X suite of standards and assist with the interpretation of requirements of the standards, among other thing. It is currently in draft form, but will be formally released in January 2014.
