Joel Leonard  ‘The Maintenance Evangelist’ SkillTV.net USA

His career, that has spanned teaching, consulting, senior management and public speaking, renders Joel the ideal resource to help trumpet the resolution to the Maintenance Crisis.

A former vice-president of the Association for Facilities Engineering, Joel is taking the lead internationally in identifying, explaining and helping to solve the problem.

Penny Burns
Principal Director
AMQ International
SA, Australia
Dr Penny Burns is Editor of “Strategic Asset Management” for managers of public sector infrastructure assets. For the last quarter of a century Penny’s life has revolved around asset management. Not the technical, engineering variety, but the strategic decision making end of town where decisions on assets are taken, not to make the assets better, but to make the business better. In this role she has spent several years as advisor to a Minister of Construction, Resources and Energy, advised numerous State Audit Commissions of Inquiry, researched and wrote 8 Parliamentary reports on asset renewal, established an asset management institute in Kuala Lumpur, and been on the advisory panels for numerous associations and courses in asset management. She has consulted and advised at all levels of government as well as for the private sector, both here and overseas. Looking back, she notes that policies that have worked well in some areas did not work at all in others, that asset management has developed differently in industry and in the public sector, and that different disciplines have progressed at different rates in their overall understanding. To make sense of all of this, Penny is currently working on a “History of Asset Management” covering developments over the last 30 years.

Conference Objective
Despite the current economic climate Australia has a number of asset replacement challenges as aged assets approach retirement, and demand for services is sustained or in some cases increases. This combined with the financial constraints being experienced provides us all with challenges about how we can sustain our businesses, and our assets, to continue to achieve the required delivery of services. The assets which enable our businesses to deliver the required services have long lifecycles, longer than the economic boom/bust cycle, longer than the tenure on a CEO or Board member, and certainly longer than a political term.
