Good things are happening to those involved in the ALN.
Last week we mentioned that ALN Member Organization Definitive Logic was acquired by ManTech. This week in Sources, we announce that ALN Member Organization MentorAPM has received investment capital from Switzerland-based Emerald Technology Ventures. In Ideas, we address ALN Senior Fellow Marty Rowland’s presentation at the United Nations Science Summit in New York. And we a release a new ALN White Paper on the critical need for U.S. Federal Agencies to link finance data with asset management systems. This seems obvious, but lead author Brandon Kriner, Director, CGI, ALN Patron Member notes that many agencies aren’t making this important link. Mr. Kriner will be our guest on ALN Th@3 pm ET this Thursday 28 September at 3 pm ET.
The Andrew James Advisory Group is holding ALN A55K Professional Certification training September 18 – 29 & November 6 – 17. The web course provides thorough and meaningful understandings of the ISO 55000/1/2 asset management structure. The training involves recorded courses and readings as well as instructed web discussions. A final session involves creation of a Strategic Asset Management Plan that drives home the theory into a class activity that can be used directly at work.
People
Brandon Kriner, Director, CGI, initiated the ALN-CGI co-published White Paper “The Vital Connection: Physical Asset Management and Financial Reporting” to provide a clear and concise argument for all federal agencies to benefit from making a direct connection between these two critical areas of operation. In 6-pages, the paper lays out how federal agency leaders can improve mission outcomes by taking the extra step of aligning financial and asset management reporting. When the silo between finance and asset management disappears, leaders have a clear line-of-sight that shows how federal agencies can dramatically increase value from their assets. Join us as we talk with Mr. Kriner about “The Vital Connection” this Thursday 28 September at 3 pm ET. Register here.
