Welcome from the Symposium Chair

In an ever changing and complex world, those without a digital strategy will fail. Our customers and stakeholders have increasing expectations for personalisation, speed and security of information sharing and high quality services that demonstrate value for money.

The symposium is designed to simulate, energise and align thinking for asset intensive owners and operators to embrace value extraction from the digital representation of our physical world.

We will explore the art of the possible for those who seek to make it a reality. Topics covered include design and construction of our digital assets, the analytics and insights we can realise over the whole life cycle, the personal and professional capabilities we need in the industry and supply chain, and what practical steps you can take now to position for a better future.

This one day Symposium is jam packed full of digital infrastructure goodness for every asset intensive sector with 12 first class speakers sharing valuable insights. Bring an open mind and we will provide the brain food.

Best regards
Julian

Identifying and Managing the Community Infrastructure Asset Renewal Gap

by | Oct 25, 2016 | Uncategorised

Sustaining our community infrastructure and assets is potentially the greatest challenge faced by Local Governments across Australia. At risk is the continued sustainability of assets which support the delivery of many of our community services. Most states have identified a substantial emerging gap in Local Government’s capacity to renew it assets. We suggest the problem is broader than the conventional asset management activities and fundamentally requires that we have informed debate at both the national and local levels. In order to have such an informed debate we need access to reliable, consistent and relevant information. However, experience has shown that trying to obtain this information is difficult. In most cases it does not exist and where it does exist it is frequently inadequate. This paper
outlines a project that is currently in progress that aims to develop a national framework for the exchange of community asset information. As a result we hope to be able to inform the debate that must occur if we are to solve the issue of the renewal gap for community assets. Click here to read more
