Asset Management Awareness
Description of the Initiative:
This initiative covers the production and delivery of awareness raising materials that support
Council’s Asset Management System. At the current stage of Council’s Asset Management System
development, limited material has been scoped, but a focus will be needed around:
     •   The Asset Management Policy;
     •   The benefits of Council’s Asset Management System;
     •   The work activities of Council’s Asset Management System and how staff contribute to their
         effectiveness; and
     •   The methods of assessing and implications of not complying with Asset Management System
         compliance.
In the first instance, a task to develop an asset management induction ‘pack’ was identified during
the development workshops. This will provide all staff who have a role in Council’s Asset
Management System and those that might be influenced by it, with a base level understanding of
general asset management principles, Council’s Asset Management Policy, the ISO 55000 Standard
and Council’s Asset Management System. This pack can be developed electronically and sourced
from Council’s intranet site.
Further materials will be developed as other Road-Map initiatives are closed-out and Council’s Asset
Management System becomes more mature. This section of the report should be updated as these
are materials are identified and scoped.

Interfaces with existing Council Initiatives:
         Existing Council communications protocols and presentation standards.
Dependencies with other Road-Map Initiatives:
         Develop the Asset Management Communications Framework: Defines the Framework under
         which the Asset Management awareness materials will be delivered.
         Develop Asset Management Competency Framework and Plan: The Asset Management
         Competence Plan may identify awareness raising opportunities, to promote staff role clarity
         or where there is a widespread knowledge shortfall in a specific area identified through the
         staff competence assessment process.
ISO 55001 Reference:
         7.3      Awareness: Persons doing work under the organization’s control… …shall be aware
                  of: the asset management policy; their contribution to the effectiveness of the asset
                  management system, including the benefits of improved asset management
                  performance; their work activities, the associated risks and opportunities and how
                  they relate to each other; and the implications of not conforming to the asset
                  management system requirements.
