OPENING KEYNOTE

09.30 Tailoring International Strategic Asset Management Practices To

Deliver Maximum Value From Infrastructure Assets In The Middle

East And Developing Economies How do professional asset management practices contribute to the financial and physical sustainability of infrastructure assets in the region?

Where can government entities in the Middle East see the biggest early wins from asset management initiatives and is it feasible to quantify the PAS 55 benefits?

What are the key success factors for getting total business buy-in for strategic asset management in the Gulf?

What steps can organisations take now to build the asset management capability of the future?

Is PAS55 and asset management applicable to limited sectors/ industries or is it non-industry specific?

What role do information systems play in the implementation of asset management in infrastructure organisations?

Dr Najib Dandachi, Asset Management Director, Abu Dhabi Transmission and Despatch Company - TRANSCO, UAE After graduating in 1989 with a PhD in Electrical Power Systems from Imperial College, London, Dr Najib Dandachi joined System Operation of the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) UK, before its privatisation. He later continued at the National Grid Control Centre of the National Grid Company. Dr Dandachi moved to the UAE in 1998 to take up the post of the Load Despatch Centre Manager of Abu Dhabi Transmission and Despatch Company, Transco, ADWEA. In 2006, he became the Director of Network Services in charge of the three main operational divisions in the company: the control centre, power operation and maintenance and water operation and maintenance. In 2010, he was appointed as Asset Management Director responsible for strategies, planning, capital investment, information and performance, when Transco embarked on the initiative to get PAS 55 accreditation.

A City Well-Built – The Alignment Of Infrastructure Asset Management To Corporate Direction Setting And Long Term Financial Planning Faced with ageing infrastructure and municipal revenues failing to keep pace with investment needs, the City of Edmonton began to take a strategic approach to managing its $38 billion worth of assets over a decade ago.

This session will share how Edmonton’s journey has led to its reputation as one of North America’s leading jurisdictions in the implementation of advanced infrastructure management practices; how asset management has been integrated with corporate direction setting and financial planning; and how decision making tools have contributed to the creation of a sustainable plan to renew mature neighbourhoods and, more recently, informed the City’s three and ten year capital programmes. Konrad will also share his vision for the next frontier in infrastructure asset management and how Edmonton plans to stay ahead of the curve.

Konrad Siu, Director Office of Infrastructure and Funding Strategy, City of Edmonton, Canada With three decades of progressively senior experience in the engineering arena, Konrad Siu’s most recent challenge has been putting Edmonton on the map as one of North America’s most progressive jurisdictions in the area of infrastructure management.

He is responsible for developing and implementing the city’s awardwinning infrastructure strategy and addressing through innovative solutions and alternate funding sources the disparity between capital needs and available dollars. His expertise has also led to the development of advanced asset management techniques that facilitate civic decision making and the prioritisation of infrastructure investment.

Implementing A Corporate Risk Management Framework For A Government Asset Owner

Masterclass timings: Registration will be at 08.00. The Masterclass will run from 08.30 to 12.30 after which time lunch will be served.

Masterclass timings: Registration will be at 13.00. The Masterclass will run from 13.30 to 17.30.

The professional discipline of asset management aims to optimise the value of physical assets and their life cycles. Having a robust understanding of the total cost of developing, operating, maintaining and disposing of an asset over its lifetime is crucial for making well informed asset investment decisions that ensure the financial and physical sustainability of the asset and minimise the total cost of the asset over its life. As government asset owners increasingly come under pressure to manage capital efficiently and work within funding constraints, adopting a whole life costing model to support asset decision making is an important skill.

Masterclass Overview This Masterclass is structured to give attendees an insight into the benefits of implementing a risk management approach. It will also uncover some of the barriers and challenges associated with starting from a zero base. It will demystify the language and terminology of Risk Management and highlight the importance of senior management engagement.

This Masterclass will help you: Understand when to use a whole life costing approach Adopt a whole life costing approach to evaluating capital and operating investment decisions Balance considerations of asset cost with those of asset performance Understand the inherent challenges in assessing cost over long asset lives Manage uncertainty in predicting future costs by understanding the sensitivity of cost predictions Explore available models for forecasting whole life costs Understand how whole life costing information can be used to drive current decision making Your Masterclass Leader David Pocock, International Practice Director for Asset Management, Halcrow-CH2MHILL, UK David will explain the principles and draw upon examples from a wide range of sectors, as well as techniques emerging from industry R&D.
