The Christmas or holiday period, where many organisations close down or at least slow down, is a great time to do asset maintenance. It is also a great time to think about your asset maintenance program.
Some people think asset management is a stand-alone activity that has nothing to do with financial management. Asset Management Council is busting these types of myths through a series of free e-books. This myth and other similar issues will also be explored in more detail at the 2016 AMPEAK conference in Adelaide next April.
Although this myth is out there, in reality asset and financial management are closely connected and when broken down both align to the acronym REAL.
Presenting at AMPEAK in Adelaide in April 10th-13th 2016 provides an opportunity to showcase your asset management journey, projects or research whilst raising your profile in the asset management industry. Call for abstracts has been extended until 21 November 2015.
