Explore: Establishing governance Strategies for asset data management Implementing change in the business process Murray Chandler Manager, Asset Strategy and Reporting AusGrid Questions and Discussion EXPERT COMMENTARY Carbon Pricing and Its Effect on Asset Life Cycle Costing It is only a matter of time before it becomes essential for carbon pricing to be taken into account when working out the whole-of-life cycle cost of an asset in Australia. However, the looming reality of future carbon-pricing is a matter that should be taken into account when deciding on asset management strategies. Accounting expert Dr Paul Brown has been developing life cycle costing models for assets that take into consideration carbon pricing. Having studied various real-life and hypothetical scenarios involving different government policies for carbon pricing, he will discuss the real issues at hand concerning asset life cycle costing and maintenance. Explore: Possible future scenarios Carbon pricing how do you do it? Long-term carbon pricing and asset management plans Dr Paul Brown Lecturer, School of Accounting Questions and Discussion Morning Tea CASE STUDY How Spatial Solutions Minimised Asset Damage In January 2011, South East Queensland was inundated by floods and rainfall not seen in the area since ENERGEX s electricity distribution network was seriously impacted across its area of supply from the rural Lockyer Valley to the Brisbane CBD. At the peak of the floods around 150,000 of ENERGEX s 1.2 million customers were disconnected from the supply Technology and Strategy fo grid. Despite this significant flood event, which extended over five days, ENERGEX restored supply to 90% of the impacted network within a week. In preparing for the flood, ENERGEX used forecast flood height spatial information overlayed on its network GIS to predict assets that were likely to be inundated. This allowed disconnection prior to being flooded, and as the flood water receded, prioritised repair and restoration. In his presentation, Martin Hoelscher will discuss how ENERGEX s spatial systems were a critical part of the successful restoration and resultant planning for improving resilience to the impacted network. Martin Hoelscher Group Manager, Network Property Data and Coordination ENERGEX Questions and Discussion Networking Lunch CASE STUDY Predicting Future Asset Needs with Changing Markets Adrian Langdon, Manager Asset Strategy and Research, State Water Corporation, has over 18 years experience in the operation, planning and policy development for water management in NSW. State Water operates within the Murray Darling Basin, and developing an asset strategy for the changing environment and markets will be a key challenge over coming years with significant changes in the type of customers and water needs throughout the basin. This presentation will cover: Life cycle costing for assets Identifying customers of each asset Predicting future market changes and the impact on our assets Adrian Langdon Manager, Asset Strategy and Research State Water Corporation Questions and Discussion CASE STUDY Innovations in Asset Management More Bang for Your Bucks This session will provide a broader perspective on asset management by showing how creativity and lateral thinking can optimise your asset management, resulting in better financial returns.

In 2010/2011 the capital works program was $846 million consisting of over 1000 projects. To ensure investment is being made in the areas that will deliver the best outcomes, SA Water centralised its asset management planning processes in early Since that time the group has evolved its decisionmaking capability from the qualitative judgement of highly experienced operators and asset management practitioners to adopt information-based, quantitative decision making.

5 Workshops 28 July WORKSHOP A Getting Executive Buy-In and Organisational Commitment To get your ideas, new systems and business improvement projects off the ground, you need to be able to gather the support of management as well as your colleagues. Support is more than a financial commitment it can mean getting the support for changes to business processes, operating models and even job structures. Managing expectations and having the right people participate is crucial to its success. In this workshop, David Hope will cover those issues and: Project selection and prioritisation why, what, when and who Justifying and gaining approval for your project Implementation strategies and tactics Changing procedures and organisations to maximise benefits Clarifying and managing expectations Different approaches to get people interested and committed to your project Expert Facilitator: David Hope Director David Hope & Associates Pty Ltd As an independent utilities infrastructure consultant, David specialises in the managerial and technical aspects of infrastructure undertakings. He specialises in providing strategies where there are complex technical and technology issues involved, the need to change organisations or cultures to effectively implement solutions; and in business justification and implementation strategies for technologies such as SCADA. David has held a range of senior managerial and technical positions, encompassing all aspects of policy, planning, construction, operations and maintenance. He has been involved in many projects which cross the boundaries of technical and managerial disciplines. David Hope is a civil engineer and manager with 40 years experience in the utilities industry. Over the last 10 years he has practised mainly as an independent consultant. Previously he worked with Sydney Water, which provides water and sewerage services to four million people NETWORKING LUNCH WORKSHOP B Developing and Using Your Asset Management Plan to Optimal Effect Developing an asset management plan supported by accurate asset information, whether it is first cut or complete, is key to successful asset management (AM). Many organisations are deterred from preparing an AM plan, thinking they don t have all of the necessary asset information. Just remember: the first AM plan is not going to be perfect and it doesn t have to be! As long as the organisation is committed to the improvement program the plan can be completed over time. Many take advantage of the AM plan development process as a way of identifying information gaps and use the improvement program as a way of closing them. In this workshop, the key elements of an asset management plan supported by accurate asset information will be workshopped. This session will cover: The basic elements and objectives of an AM plan Identifying AM plan information requirements Discovering your AM information gaps How to add and improve on the plan and its information improving for longevity; and Where to from here, now I have an AM plan Expert Facilitator: Tahlia Griffin Managing Director TBG Consulting Tahlia is an experienced asset management consultant who has been in the industry for approximately seven years. She manages her own company specialising in asset management. Her work has included such areas as asset management plans, AM strategies, AM system specifications and implementation, condition monitoring, risk assessment, data analysis, AM training and AM support. Much of her time however has been spent preparing AM plans of which she has produced 42 to date, all using varying degrees of asset information. Tahlia hopes, based on her experience, that you can take something useful away from the workshop to assist you in your AM plan development endeavours. ABOUT THE EVENT Asset Information Management is increasingly becoming more technologically sophisticated, generating a period of transformation. Broader changes to our world have created additional changes where issues such as carbon-pricing and a changing environment need to be taken into account when developing strategies for the management of assets and asset data. These changes are creating a whole new set of expectations for professionals working in asset management in regards to their skills, where the bar has been raised and professionals have to acquire more knowledge to be able to deal with the changing technology and environment. This forum will discuss such contemporary issues and others, and draw on a wealth of experience from asset management professionals and subject experts. Practical how to tools and strategies to achieve success will be shared in this exciting event and outlines on how organisations are responding to change will be showcased. SPONSOR TODAY!
