Overview
Asset Management - an anatomy is intended to:
- help individuals on their asset management journey to better understand the discipline, where to find more information, and what to do next
- help organisations to decide whether to adopt asset management and/ or improve their asset management capability
“Modern society is heavily reliant on physical assets in order to function effectively. Managing assets so they can provide products and services now, and into the future, is a core part of the discipline known as asset management. But assets can be made of anything – a brand, a licence, a right of way, a group of companies, opportunities – anything in which you invest to achieve your purpose."
