People

Jack Kelly, ALN Board of Directors Member and ALN Senior Fellow, is on the ISO TC 251 Working Group 7 Committee which is writing the ISO 55011 guidance for development and application of public policy to enable asset management. Mr. Kelly sees a very close alignment of ISO 55011 with the ALN National Asset Leadership Strategy and understands how these documents can help the U.S. gain the most value from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Mr. Kelly will talk with Jim Dieter, ALN CEO about these issues and how they will be further addressed in the ALN February Roundtable on February 28 at 2 pm Eastern.

ISO 55011 and ALN NALS

Jim Dieter, ALN CEO, envisioned the ALN National Asset Leadership Strategy as a way to help leaders understand a path to increasing value to the nation by having a single approach to policy and strategy to unify asset management direction with flexibility for industries. The single policy and strategy will provide benefits to the U.S. that other countries and organizations are finding – meaningful results accruing from use of common language, involvement of all relevant stakeholders, similar measurement approaches, and more. ISO 55011 is further standardizing these issues in a way that can provide benefit if considered in IIJA implementation.
