Join AME VIC for an interactive session with Travis Soutter from Concordia Asset Management as he explores how strategic asset management can help organisations tackle rising operational pressures, align technical and commercial goals, and build long-term resilience.

Overview

In an era of rising energy costs, aging infrastructure, workforce challenges, and mounting operational pressures, many organisations are struggling to maintain performance and build resilience. Yet, few are connecting these challenges back to the strategic coordination of their assets — and fewer still are using asset management as a vehicle for long-term value creation.

In this interactive session, Travis Soutter, Managing Director of Concordia Asset Management, will explore how a modern, strategic approach to asset management can help organisations navigate uncertainty, manage constrained resources, and align technical decisions with commercial objectives. This presentation reframes asset management as a critical enabler of whole-of-organisation coordination, not just a maintenance or capital tool.

What You'll Learn

• Why asset management is about value, not just assets
• How to use lifecycle thinking to influence costs, risk, and performance before breakdowns occur
• How to integrate commercial and technical priorities to enable sustainable, cross-functional decision-making
• What strategic resilience really means — and how asset management systems can help you achieve it

Who Should Attend

This session is ideal for professionals in operations, maintenance, finance, capital planning, and leadership roles who want to better align their investment, planning, and operational activities to create more resilient and value-driven organisations.
