Introduction

TWPL Asset Management Academy

is one of the longest-established (est.

1994) and most widely-respected

sources, worldwide, for Asset

Management expertise, training and

facilitation support. We are Institute

of Asset Management (IAM) Endorsed

Trainers but we go much further than

just delivery of high quality education

and training in asset management: our

mission is to create eff ective sustained change in understanding, capabilities, behaviour and performance. And that

means we shape our approach to the

individual needs of each client.

leadership’ and R&D programmes. For

example, we have led and facilitated

the development of BSI PAS 55

and ISO 55000 standards, the IAM

Competences Framework and Asset

Management Maturity guidance, and

programme-managed the SALVO

consortium, developing best practices

in asset management decision-making.

TWPL Asset Management Academy

provides the most comprehensive range

of competency development services

available, ranging from structured

methods for identifying and prioritising

requirements, to professional

development planning, off -the-shelf

short courses, formal qualifi cations,

online learning and blended learning,

customised and bespoke course

development, workplace ‘learning

while doing’ coaching, management

mentoring and culture change guidance

and support.

This prospectus summarises some

of these services – however we are

particularly proud of our fl exibility

and case-by-case ability to shape our

assistance to the specifi c needs of

each client. So do not hesitate to ask

Diff erent starting points, diff erent challenges and priorities

Where are you on your asset management journey? Are you

still working in departmental silos with competing priorities,

patchy knowledge of the assets, facing unknown risks and

using inconsistent criteria for prioritsation and decision

making? Or are you already on the journey to establishing

a joined-up, systematic and integrated approach to asset

life cycle management? Or perhaps you already have an

established and stable governance system for strategic

planning etc, and are seeking where next to focus?

To support the wider asset management journey, TWPL

Asset Management Academy has pre-grouped the most

valuable combination of learning and practical tools that are

typically needed at diff erent stages of the journey, whether

you are an individual or an organisation.

Integrating and Embedding assistance is available for

individuals and organisations who want a joined-up

approach to asset management where greater insight and

understanding is needed. Education and training is

available for individuals who have the responsibility for

developing strategies and plans, or are leading and

facilitating improvement programmes to support the

establishment of a joined-up and eff ective ‘management

system for asset management’. As well as providing

professional training to gain asset management

qualifi cations, TWPL Asset Management Academy has

over 20 short courses which cover all asset management

topics as well as off ering blended and customised courses

and training programmes.

There is no other education and training provider who has the depth of subject matter expertise and real, fi rst-hand experience of delivering successful Asset Management transformations

For those Seeking Excellence, TWPL Asset

Management Academy provides a diff erent form of

support, as what is desirable and what is achievable,

are constantly changing. New technology, new ideas

and changes in organisational context mean that

every organisation has to be forward-looking, agile

and be able to demonstrate that they are dynamically

optimizing. TWPL works at the front edge of research

and development and thought leadership. With

adaptive processes, unique tools and world leading

educational resources, we can help you to help

yourself. There is no shortage of individual subject

matter expertise but very few like TWPL who have

expert resources who provide real, in-depth guidance

for joining them all together in an eff ective and

sustainable way.

Life-long learningThe TWPL Asset Management journey does not

have an end – it is one of continual interest,

excitement, challenges and opportunities.

TWPL has been working with many organisations

for 10, 15 or 20 years in an ongoing ‘trusted advisor’

role, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is

possible, and transferring learning across diff erent

industry sectors.

Our Getting Started range of education and training is geared to establishing

a robust starting point and a solid foundation. TWPL off ers a comprehensive

range of online and classroom introductory training to achieve alignment of

understanding in the core principles, language and asset management concepts.

As a longstanding IAM Endorsed Trainer, TWPL provides experienced guidance

to support you.

Identifying and prioritising the needs

Benefi ting from over 20 years of

experience in multiple industries,

cultures and environments, TWPL's

Asset Management Academy has

developed some very pragmatic

methods for identifying existing

competency strengths and areas of

potential improvement. We have a

structured approach that integrates the

best aspects of the IAM Competences

Framework with a context-sensitive

appreciation of organisational

priorities, functional roles, competency

requirements and their criticalities. And,

like all TWPL services, our model and

elements are extremely fl exible so they

can be integrated with existing human

resource systems and competency

frameworks e.g. technical skills or

managerial/leadership frameworks.

Example process for identifying and prioritising requirementsWe can help you to sort out the

priorities and scale of needs, using

robust and transparent methods for

identifying the gaps, and determining

their criticality. This provides a solid

platform for planning the professional

development programmes, measuring

their eff ectiveness and, using the TWPL

‘learning while doing’ methods, even

making the programme ‘self-funding’

(through the business benefi ts obtained

during the learning).

Typically, such a systematic engagement will include:

1. Defi ne the learning and development target groups (roles x subjects).

2. Choose a ‘pathfi nder’ group of key roles and personnel (to calibrate the process & train internal HR assessors).

a. Defi ne the roles, required competences (skills and knowledge) and their criticalities.

b. Assess current individual competency profi les (structured interview methods).

c. Aggregate the gaps and criticalities of gaps to prioritise personal training plans.

d. Refi ne and ‘template’ process for volume usage (by role type and responsibility level).

e. Perform initial training to address priority gaps for this ‘pathfi nder’ group.

3. a. Repeat analysis stages in prioritised programme.

b. Plan consolidated training programme for subjects, gap criticalities, volumes and methods (blended learning mix).

c. Aggregate the gaps and criticalities of gaps to prioritise personal training plans.

d. Deliver training, workplace coaching, qualifi cations testing etc. Including ‘train the trainer’ programmes to support volume and sustainability.

e. Track overall progress and eff ectiveness key performance indicators (KPIs).

Gaps between current capability and requirments for role(s)

The most important stage is the development and delivery of the learning to close the most business-critical competency gaps. The prioritisation ensures that investment in training yields the best return, and also provides

the individual learner with the most useful new skills as quickly as possible. However we must also consider the

best methods for the required learning. TWPL is uniquely experienced in design, development, customisation and

delivery of ‘blended learning’ programmes for Asset Management, including the vital culture change dimensions.

The Asset Management Challenge™

Role play gameThe Asset Management Challenge™

is a 2-day highly intensive role-play

game, designed to ‘bring all the asset

management concepts together’ in a

realistic, multi-dimensional scenario.

TWPL Asset Management Academy

has developed and proven a highly

realistic, very intensive role-play game

to test and teach the mix of skills

needed to manage complex critical

assets. It off ers individuals or teams

the chance to test their knowledge

and skills against the best. Available

for in-house management training

(competing multi-disciplined teams),

open/individual participation and inter-

company competitions, this game

must be one of the most educational,

enjoyable and eff ective learning

methods available.

It off ers individuals or teams the chance to test their knowledge and skills against the best.

Teams of 4-5 are provided with pre-

reading materials and a detailed

briefi ng. These materials introduce

specifi c organisational roles for the

team members, along with context,

goals, current performance and a

range of real and perceived risks and

opportunities for the asset

management scenario.

Further information is progressively

revealed at stages during the

programme and further data can be

‘purchased’ at the teams’ discretion.

The Asset Management Challenge™

requires the teams to sort out priorities,

develop new strategies and plans, and

construct the business case for the

proposed way forward. As the game

progresses, the decisions you make are

refl ected in outcomes including business

performance and a variety of

stakeholder impacts - you can see

how your decisions add or subtract

from value. Each team is scored on

a combination of the hard numbers

underpinning their proposals, and the

credible, understandable explanation of

these to a ‘Board of Directors’

The game is challenging, addictive and a highly effective learning method.

This learning tool is a powerful way of

building eff ective asset management

teams. You will fi nd the game gives you

new insights and a greater confi dence

to face the real-world mix of competing

priorities, technical and other risks,

constrained resources, human factors

and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

The game is a challenging, addictive

and highly eff ective learning method.

This learning tool is a powerful way of building effective Asset Management teams.

MSc/PgDip/PgCert in Asset ManagementThe university education programmes, leading to Post-Graduate Certificate,

Diploma or Master Degree qualifications, provide both the in-depth theoretical

knowledge and the practical insights needed in any asset-intensive organisation.

This course is intended for leaders, managers, champions and members of asset

management teams, with responsibility for any physical assets or infrastructure that

are important in the delivery of the organisation’s services. Most attendees will have

between one and five years in their role, and their ambition will be to improve their

influence in their employers’ asset stewardship and value contribution.

Diploma in Asset ManagementThe Institute of Asset ManagementThe IAM Diploma is a more advanced qualification for those wishing to further

their knowledge, understanding and responsibility, as well as apply professional

judgment in practice. It is the highest qualification awarded by the IAM and

is aimed primarily at those with prior knowledge and experience of Asset

Management. Typically, such individuals will be preparing for specialist or

management roles in Asset Management.

Our 6-day course is a fully self-contained preparation for the IAM Diploma

examination, but it is also a great way to extend your knowledge, if you

already hold the IAM Certificate and would now like to prepare for the

Diploma qualification.

Asset Management Qualifications

TWPL has over 20 years experience in formal professional development, from

basic NVQ/HNC up to Master degree-level.

Popular current programmes include:

Certificate in Asset ManagementThe Institute of Asset ManagementThe IAM Certificate is an introductory qualification aimed at demonstrating

an understanding of the teaching the fundamental principles of asset

management. As an IAM endorsed trainer, TWPL’s Asset Management

Academy offers preparation and training for the IAM Certificate through a

5-day or 3-day classroom-based course, both preparing you to sit the

IAM Certificate examination.

Our 5-day version has been developed for those new to the subject with

little or no experience of Asset Management. This may include some specific

discipline experience, but little knowledge of the wider context, such as business

perspectives, risk management, life cycles, other functional roles, etc.

Our 3-day version is for semi-experienced learners and presumes that most of the

basic concepts are familiar. It is suitable for those with more than 2 years’ practical

experience in an asset-intensive industry with knowledge of business context,

asset characteristics, risks, work planning, etc.
