Sources

ISO 55001
is titled, “Asset management — Guidance for the development of public policy to enable asset management.” It is the first of the ISO document to address ways government organizations can have a positive influence on organizations in their jurisdictions. The guidance document suggests ways to prepare policy to assist government objectives through the assistance of contracting and other mechanisms. It recommends proper investment approaches and references UN Sustainable Development Goals as being worthy objectives to achieve. Understanding this approach and bringing it to your favorite government organization will be a powerful way to spread the positive impact of Asset Management.


Ideas

International Discussions

The ALN was honored to be approached by the
South Korean
Korea Asset Management Corporation
for a meeting
about “strategies that foster innovation and create economic value through the collaboration between the public and private sectors in utilizing state-owned land data.” Additionally, there is interest in learning about standards and technology platforms that ensure data integration and interoperability. We will be sharing our experience about government entities using ISO 55000-based approaches to the topics and look to ALN Organizational Members and federal colleagues to add their input on what can be mutually beneficial approaches to these, and other issues.
