Advancing Outcomes with Asset Leadership is a month of web programs starting December 1, 2022. We will start with a special hour-long edition of ALN Th@3 pm ET featuring ALN Board Chair Jim Dieter, and ALN Board Members Jack Kelly and Jack Dempsey (Mildred Chua?) discussing documents that help leaders set policy, establish strategy, and implement tactics that drive government organizational impact. The rest of the month will feature web programs including, ALN Th@3 guests focused on advancing outcomes, an asset management policy panel, a discussion with Portland, Oregon Asset Management Policy contributing authors, and a PDF “book” of highlights. If you are interested in participating or contributing content to Advancing Outcomes with Asset Leadership, email ALN Executive Director Mike Bordenaro at mbordenaro@AssetLeadership.net.
55K Talk – In a new feature, we are asking people about ISO 55K sections that are meaningful to them and highlighting comments in the newsletter. In an email change with Jack Dempsey, Director, Definitive Logic, he pointed out that ISO 55001 5.2 is the Leadership clause focused on Policy. It contains 6 key elements of an asset management policy that can help obtain desired organizational outcomes, with a policy that: provides a framework; is committed to continual improvement; is available to appropriate constituents; and more. If you have a favorite section of the ISO 55K Series please email it with a short comment to info@AssetLeadership.net. We will collect the comments and publish them together in 2023 and periodically after that.

Mary Adams, President of Smarter-Companies, an ALN Organizational Member, recently posted about an article on ESG – Environment, Society, Governance – in Institutional Investor. The article addresses how “ESG data should focus on the benefits that are intrinsic to value creation at the company and also provide a social impact” and other issues where asset management guidance can assist company valuation and impact. Ms. Adams stated, “It’s about the connection between ESG, operational and financial results. If you can’t map to see how it’s all connected, it’s awfully hard to move the needle.”
