This award recognises that understanding, managing and meeting the requirements of customers is an important part of any asset management activity.

Customers can include internal customers within you own organisation, external customers who receive products and services from your organisation, or stakeholders (e.g. regulators) who influence the success of your organisation.

For customer services, the judges will look for evidence on how your approach has benefited the asset management system in respect of meeting customer requirements, and/or improving customer satisfaction and advocacy.

Risk & Resilience

John Devall - Severn Trent Water
Mousa AL Qaisi - Road and Transportation Authority in Dubai
Andy Bichan - Amey Consulting

Entries can focus on either risk or resilience. Risk management covers the identification, evaluation, and prioritisation of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimise, monitor, and control the risks. Resilience is the ability of an asset management system to return to the steady-state following some planned or unplanned intervention; it is the system's ability to absorb disturbances before it changes processes and outputs. Entries may focus of certain elements of risk management such as operation and safety of high risk assets. Equally entries may focus on resilience from an environmental perspective, for example challenges around managing climate change adaption.
