ALN NALS
The ALN National Asset Leadership Strategy (NALS) was established to suggest what a single policy and strategic approach to U.S. assets could look like. With assistance from Grant Thornton, it has evolved a taxonomy and processes that can be adopted by the U.S. Federal Government to dramatically increase value to the nation from our collective assets. The web program on the ALN NALS is the culmination of the 2021 National Issues series because it provides answers to many of the issues brought up in the series. Review the NALS at this link.
Ideas
Acknowledge Need for Improved PPE Asset Management
While the ALN is working to encourage a National Asset Leadership Strategy, time does not have to be wasted in improving PPE asset management. A Government Executive magazine article reports that Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledges that PPE shortages drove up the COVID-19 death toll. Consider using a coordinated approach based on a proven asset management structure to address what will likely be a long-term need for PPE asset management.
