LONG FUTURE SUSTAINABILITY FOR ASSET MANAGERS
Workshop Leaders: This 1.5 hour workshop will be facilitated by Adjunct Professor David Hood AM, Long Future Foundation, Australia and Guy Lane, Long Future Foundation, Australia
Long Future Sustainability is a short intensive workshop that seeks to redefine sustainability in the light of current threats to life on Earth. It will empower Asset Managers with knowledge, passion and drive to deliver better outcomes that not only assist you in your business role but help transform society to a better world that we all deserve.
The workshop consists of three parts. Each part contains short presentations, interactive participant activities, videos, and some unique audio/visual content and music.
Whether you are new to the conversation about sustainability, or not, this workshop has content that many people have never considered part of the dialogue about sustainability.
Participating in Long Future Sustainability will help you:
- Identify hidden and future risks to your organisation;
- Learn about exciting new business opportunities;
- See new frameworks to apply to your products & services;
- See exciting – and sometimes scary – new ideas to share with collegues; and
- Gain new knowledge, passion and drive to contribute to a Long Future for life on Earth
Attendees will come away feeling that the world suddenly makes sense, confident that they have an edge over their competitors, and more than ever able to see the elephants in their own Board rooms.

2nd ISEAM Workshop on Recognition of Engineering Asset Management Programmes at Higher Educational Institutions
Workshop Leader: This 1.5 hour workshop will be facilitated by Prof Joe Amadi-Echendu, on behalf of the panel set up by the ISEAM Board.
Preamble – The International Society for Engineering Asset Management (ISEAM www.iseam.org) is a not-for-economic-profit organisation with a primary objective to “pursue charitable purposes, in particular the advancement of science and the advancement of education with a focus in the specific area of scientific knowledge known as integrated engineering asset management”. ISEAM is “…dedicated to the development and recognition of Engineering Asset Management (EAM) as an integrated and important body of knowledge” through “…liaising with national and international bodies to provide a global approach to” EAM. It is in this regard that ISEAM organises the WCEAM series, and particularly this 12th edition in conjunction with 13th VETOMAC 2017. This is the second instance of the workshop, and will include a presentation of the results of the survey conducted during the first workshop held in 2016.
Motivation – Engineering asset management encompasses all types of engineered assets including built environment, infrastructure, plant, equipment, hardware systems and components. This workshop will provide an opportunity to present and discuss ISEAM’s ongoing initiative to recognise academic programs at higher educational institutions (HEI’s). EAM covers a very wide multidisciplinary scope, thus, the key question is “what constitutes EAM body of knowledge (EAMBoK)?” ISEAM’s recognition, rather than statutory accreditation, has two fundamental aims:
- To provide assurance that “asset management” academic programs at HEIs address EAM body of knowledge;
- To encourage pedagogical and structured development of educational curricula, as well as research and training programmes that advance the EAM body of knowledge.

Facilitated Workshop on Evaluating Data Management Maturity for Engineering Assets
Workshop Leader: This 1.5 hour workshop will be facilitated by Jess B. Kozman, Regional Representative for the Professional Petroleum Data Management (PPDM) Association.
Preamble – As asset-intensive industries recognize engineering asset data from critical infrastructure and facilities as a corporate asset, many find themselves unprepared to support projects that manage engineering asset data to support business intelligence or analytics. The goal of this workshop is to understand the elements of asset management capability maturity that are important in industries with a focus on efficient and safe operations.
Motivation – The workshop builds on work done at the Asset Institute at the Queensland University of Technology to develop a cross-industry Asset Management Capability Maturity Model (AMCaMM), and applies survey and benchmarking techniques developed for analyzing information management capability and complexity in other asset-intensive industries over the last two decades. Participants will evaluate their own organization’s capability maturity for the management of engineering asset data management, and the workshop facilitator will then lead an interactive workshop to learn how that evaluation can be used to benchmark against other organizations and industries, to select and define quick win projects for improving capability, to identify the best growth strategies for utilizing that data in support of business intelligence and analytics, and to find correlations with financial performance metrics that demonstrate the value of efficiently managed engineering asset data.
