Follow this link for information on a web course focused on understanding and application of ISO 55000.
A new, 2-week course begins on 9 November 2020 to prepare people for the
ALN 55K Professional Certification Exam starting 20 November 2020.
This week’s newsletter is a little different. It has two parts.
The first is a response to Lt. General (ret.) Russel Honore’s call for a “new model” to address disaster preparedness and resiliency. General Honore is guiding the unified response to Hurricanes Laura and Delta. The first week of the 2020 Asset Leadership Forum – reStructuring America clearly outlines and provides the core content for a new model.
The second part of the newsletter details the next 5 web events that continue reStructuring America on October 13, 14, and 15. The upcoming web events continue the years-long development of this new model with content addressing: Inequity, Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, Facilities and our first all-Spanish web event. Details are below.
1) General Russel Honore is guiding the ongoing, unified response to Hurricanes Laura and Delta, which have revisited disaster on already stricken areas of Louisiana and Texas. On Friday 9 October, General Honore repeatedly told the press, “We need a new model.” “We need a new model.” “We need a new model.”
One interpretation of the request is that the U.S. approach to disaster response needs to be adjusted to the reality of current conditions, not old political and financial models.
A call for recognizing a proven path that can serve as the “new model” was made during the first week of the 2020 Asset Leadership Forum – reStructuring America. The week included:
- a representative from the U.S. GAO stating that a report including a disaster readiness approach tied to asset management could be ready by April 2021;
- a representative from the U.S. Department of State calling for those who understand Asset Leadership and Asset Management to take responsibility for unified U.S. mission success;
- the USACE Civil Works report on top leadership’s call for a Strategic Asset Management Plan based on ISO 55000;
- a representative from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation talking about the benefits to 60% of the U.S. water supply from a systematic approach to Asset Leadership and Asset Management during the pandemic;
- the CEO of the Atlanta Airlines Terminal Company explaining how ISO 55000 helped his organization respond with agility to COVID-19;
- the ALN National Asset Leadership Strategy 2020 presented with representatives from Grant Thornton as a path to addressing the impact of unprecedented natural and man-made disasters – and more.
The Asset Leadership Network suggests a proven, international, consensus-based approach – such as ISO 55000 – acts as the framework for the new model that General Honore request.
