Asset management is inherently multi-disciplinary and there are critical issues of co-ordination, integration and leadership at corporate level. This course is designed to help operational managers understand their financial responsibilities in their pursuit of delivering on the government's investment plans.

This practical workshop provides delegates with practical guidance on option appraisal using 'Green Book' (HM Treasury) guidance and the business case as a management tool. These two key processes ensure that a project is clearly justified, both in financial and non-financial terms, and that the resulting benefits are accurately measured.

When we make decisions, such decisions will often have long term implications. This is particularly the case with capital projects, but not exclusively so. Unfortunately all too often the longer term costs and benefits of decisions are not fully taken into account, especially where short term political expediencies take precedence. There is clearly a need to highlight the benefits of taking a longer term view by incorporating whole life considerations into our decision making processes.

CIPFA Property operates three networks. Asset Management Planning, Construction and Property Advisory Service and the Highways Asset Management Network.

Recognised by most organisations involved in asset management as the leading source of guidance on Asset Management for Local Authorities. The networks provide an invaluable service to members to benefit from the collective knowledge of the membership and the influence that the network has in respect of Asset Management policies.
