Standards. Standard Operating Procedures. Raising the Standard.

We are talking about a human behavior base line and how we can improve it.

Asset Management Systems require an understanding of human behavior management that can dramatically improve organizational mission outcomes. The 
AMS Behavior miniseries
 is another highly informative series of essays by Jack Dempsey, General Partner, Asset Management Partnership and ALN Board of Directors Member in addition leading volunteer positions with the US TAG to ISO 55000, and the National Academies’ Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment. After spelling out clear steps for leaders to take, Mr. Dempsey writes, “Systematic implementation of these behaviors on an enterprise scale is facilitated through the Asset Management Framework.” These are relatable steps that leaders can rapidly deploy.

Ideas

Daniel Kahneman, who shared the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for work in behavioral economics, died last week. He was known for working with Vernon Smith to show the limits of human rationality in achieving economic outcomes. He validated what is known by any small bands of war fighters dedicated to a mission – it is possible to overcome overwhelming odds. The application of appropriately led human behavior to economics can guide by an asset management mindset. With proper asset data is possible to visualize economic outcomes for organizations of all sizes to encourage desired human behavior. Learn more about Mr. Kahneman at his
