As Change practitioners, we are continually seeking to improve ourselves and influence an outcome. When we are with people the exchange of information varies between frustration, knowledge, innovation, and value.
We, humans, tend to talk about ourselves (even when we don't intend to). By understanding Apathy, Empathy and Sympathy when we engage and listen to others, we are forearming ourselves against becoming dragged into the problems we are trying to resolve. Being mindful of these perspectives actually helps those we are engaging with, as much as we are trying to help ourselves...

A "Management System" or "System of Work" or in the most basic terms "How we get things done around here!" is the backbone of any organization. Without a Management System of some description, you are relying on luck! A Management System is the foundation stone for both Change Management and Asset Management. A Management System is a form of assurance. You don't have to go to great expense or achieve certification to achieve value from a Management System!

This episode is dedicated to simplifying "Asset Management". Understanding "Asset Management" vs "The Management of Assets" is a must when engaging change in an asset-intensive organization. Differentiating the two will provide clarity to stakeholders and promote trust and respect. When people understand their role in asset management, especially supporting functions (i.e. Finance, Human Resources, Engineering, Legal and Commercial) there is an instant capability lift that generates collaboration, positive challenge and converging conversations. Asset Management is a great way in which to influence change. Change driven on value will always win against change driven on cost alone!
