International Case Studies in Asset Management shows stakeholders at every level how an asset management approach can provide the strategic perspective, transparency, and tools they need to maximise returns on capital, grow market value, and demonstrate that investments are put to best use.
This book offers a wealth of experience covering methods, techniques, decision criteria, assumptions, measures, and insights on how to embed asset management thinking and use it to reduce risk, improve services, and become more competitive. With a strong emphasis on leadership, the book shows readers how they can change the way people work, break down boundaries and create an asset management culture.
International Case Studies in Asset Management is internationally applicable and relevant across sectors, including eighteen case studies – from nine countries – that feature local, national and global businesses operating in water, railways, metro systems, defence, mining, ports, energy, and community services.
Whether new to the subject, planning your future professional development, studying for a qualification, building an asset management system, designing a regulatory framework or seeking to achieve best in class status for your organisation or industry, International Case Studies in Asset Management is a key reference for anyone involved in asset management.
This book is best read as a companion to Chris Lloyd’s earlier book, Asset management: Whole Life Management of Physical Assets (Thomas Telford, London, 2010).
