From Inception to Evolution
The conference presentations demonstrate the evolution that is taking place in asset management
today. Just a few years ago, most agencies were identifying an asset management champion and
focusing on building an asset management culture. Today, agencies are moving towards a more
sustainable,
cross-cutting, and evolved program.
During the closing session, each of the Track Chairs will share highlights from their sessions related
to ways in which:
• The practice of asset management is evolving,
• Agencies are creating sustainable asset management programs that are
embedded in the organization’s culture,
• Technology is influencing the way decisions are made, and
• Data is being used to speak to multiple audiences.
