He will share experience from combat asset management to secure facilities asset management to information management and more.

Ideas
Submit an Op-Ed to the ALN
The ALN is going to establish Editorial and an Op-Ed pages on our website to allow explicit requests of governments, institutions and commercial organizations to improve their asset management activities. Explicit calls to action about policy, legislation, and processes are needed to accelerate adoption of a structured approach to asset management, such as adherence to ISO 55000. Editorials will allow ALN Executives, Board Members, and Senior Fellows to represent the viewpoint of the ALN. Op-Eds will allow ALN organizational members and supporters to express their views on asset management issues important to them. Submit your Op-Ed suggestions to info@AssetLeadership.net.
