National Asset Management Forum 2022
Advanced Asset Management

The NAMS Forum took place 8-9 June 2022 in Queenstown, Tāhuna.

The future is here - quantum and paradigm shifts are happening around us. A global pandemic has stopped humanity in its tracks. We have new insights into how we do business and how we think about our economies and our communities.

Grounded by these insights, and faced now with a changing climate, rising costs, an ageing and diverse society, and regulatory and structural changes, we have to be greener, more inclusive and more resilient now.

At the 2022 NAMS Advanced Asset Management Forum we tackled the theme of:

Speakers

Tim Grafton

Do Asset Managers understand what sustainability means?

Bio

Tim Grafton became Chief Executive of the Insurance Council of New Zealand Te Kāhui Inihua o Aotearoa (ICNZ) in November 2012. Tim has extensive experience in providing strategic, policy and communications advice to public and private sector leaders and was an adviser to former Prime Ministers and Ministers of Finance as well as leading private companies. Prior to ICNZ, Tim was an executive director of a leading market research company.

Among several governance roles, Tim is the former Chair of the Representative Users Group of the Deep South Science Challenge which focuses on research to adapt to climate change.

Presentation Overview

If the future is here now, then it should be clear just how unsustainable many of the things we do are. The paradox though is that we would not find ourselves on the path we are on if sustainability was well understood.  The problem is that it’s not that easy to fix.

Bio

Mark is a director of Te Whakahaere, Aotearoa New Zealand’s premier climate advisory firm.  He has held senior legal roles in some of the world’s most prestigious law firms and was political advisor to NZ’s Climate Change Minister during the development of NZ’s climate change legislative regime.  He has published widely on climate legal risk and continues to hold positions with universities in Australia and, in 2022, led the University of Auckland Law School’s 2022 climate law postgraduate course.  Mark has unique insights into climate change legal risk, policy, and regulation, particularly for the financial sector.

Presentation

Mark Baker-Jones is a world-leader in climate change regulatory and policy risk.  He works extensively as a climate change policy advisor to public and private entities across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia.
His keynote will provide insights into climate change legal risk, policy, and regulation, particularly for the financial sector. The mandatory regime for disclosing climate-related financial risk, which come into effect by 2023, would require banks, insurers and other finance firms to publicly release details about how their investments and assets are exposed to risk from climate change. That includes both physical risk from the impacts of climate change (like sea-level rise) and transition risk from the devaluation of assets as the economy decarbonises (like oil and gas).

Presentation

Major demographic changes have coincided with significant generational issues, notably in terms of labour market participation/returns and the accumulation of assets (especially housing) in the last two decades. This presentation will look at how these demographic changes intersect with very different wealth and income profiles for different generations in New Zealand. These changes have also been made more interesting (and challenging) by the growing ethnic diversity of New Zealand, especially in the 2016-2020 period.

Embedding sustainability in Asset Management practice: Climage change risk assessment

Adele Jones and Brigitte Hicks, WSP

Presentation

Sustainability is all about meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. As asset managers, sustainability sits at the centre of what we do, as we seek to balance environmental, social and financial outcomes in all aspects of our planning and decision-making about services and infrastructure.

While sustainability encompasses other drivers, climate change has become a more central focus as one of the most significant challenges of our time. There are two main responses to climate change: mitigation and adaption. Mitigation is the process of reducing the severity of climate change by reducing emissions. Adaption is the act/process of changing to manage the actual and expected effects of climate change. We now, more than ever, need to prioritise addressing climate change within our roles as asset managers, both in terms of mitigation and adaption.

This presentation will explore how we can embed climate change adaption into our asset management approaches. A key focus will be on climate change risk assessment and its impacts on planning and decision-making. The presentation will include case study examples of how this can be applied in practice, including the use of GIS for data visualisation and analytics to help simplify complex decisions and linking into organisational risk management practices.

Integrating climate adaptation practice with Asset Management for the Government of Samoa

Ross Waugh, Waugh Infrastructure Management

Presentation

The Government of Samoa represented by the Ministry of Works, Transport, and Infrastructure (MWTI) in partnership with USAID Climate Ready have engaged in a project to integrate climate adaptation into asset management processes.  With climate change impacting Samoa this has been an important project for the Government of Samoa.

The project has involved interviews with key government and SOE stakeholders in Samoa, the development of a Review and Assessment Report and updating of the Government Infrastructure Asset Management Policy and Samoa Infrastructure Asset Management Strategy.

The opportunities to mainstream climate adaptation into asset management processes were developed including application across the lifecycle of infrastructure, and integration of climate adaptation practice into the resilience cycle.

The Government of Samoa approach to climate change adaptation includes village level analysis of issues in the Community Integration Management Plans, and a national adaptation strategies implemented through policies, government offices and councils.

The Government of Samoa has a strong suite of policies, plans and organisation in place to support climate adaptation practices.  The Climate Change Unit/National Climate Change Council and Disaster Management Office/National Disaster Council are already in place.  The project has recommended an Asset Management and Resilience Office be established to support the national Asset Management Steering Committee in infrastructure related climate adaptation and asset management.

The presentation will provide an overview of the practice observations for New Zealand from the Government of Samoa Climate Adaptation Project, particularly around the village level approach and climate change / resilience integration into asset management planning.

Case study: Understanding and measuring lifeline services resilience, vulnerability, and failure impacts under event scenarios

Major Nigel Gattsche, NZDF and Glen Syred, GHD

Presentation

How often have you seen large organisations in the news, caught by surprise by the consequences when their infrastructure services fail in a major event? 

NZDF, together with GHD has developed and successfully applied an approach to better understand and mitigate the impacts of adverse natural and people-made events to the Estate camps and bases.

The approach included carefully designed question banks and consultation tools to gain insights and information from key stakeholders and service providers, to help uncover key vulnerabilities from existing external lifelines across the NZDF camps and bases.

Resilience data and information was obtained, via questionnaire surveys, from various external lifelines providers to NZDF’s main bases and camps. The surveys covered topics such hazard events, services vulnerabilities to those events, outage consequences, interdependencies with other lifelines services, potential mitigation of service failures, and restoration methods. Responses were collated and resilience and outage risks assessed and quantitated using a Resilience Risk formula and Lifeline Resilience Prioritisation Database tool that were developed for this project.

Findings and recommendations were presented in summary graphics and dashboards for each scenario. Event scenario data was obtained from the NZ Council Lifelines National Vulnerability Study

This work was an important building block in providing an evidence-based, risk-based platform of knowledge to support long-term resilience planning and investment needed enable the continuity of NZDF’s operational outputs and commitments.  The resilience project seeks to understand the requirements of the NZDF Estate and Infrastructure in being able to provide support to NZDF operational outputs following a major event.  It looks to alternative back-up systems and redundancies, and enhanced structures (IL4) to enable continuous operation at all times.

Reform for Value – Partnerships, co-creation, collaboration

Colm Whyte, Tonkin + Taylor

Presentation

We’re all astutely aware of the significant infrastructure challenges facing NZ Inc, but how can we realistically overcome them? Even the most optimistic predictions estimate a shortfall in public capital in the region on $100b to $300b over the next 30 years. And despite factoring in the much- needed application of technology and an improvement in productivity within the sector, forecasts indicate the workforce required to undertake this work will need to double from around 40,000 to nearly 100,000. To accelerate the infrastructure ambitions of New Zealand, a new business ecosystem is needed that incentivises, rewards, and recognises collaboration, co-creation and partnership at the core of its value proposition.

No single organisation, sector, or discipline – be it governmental, private or community/iwi based – can deliver all the value required. The challenge we face is too complex. As such, natural and unnatural partnerships are required for reform and to create new levels of innovation, rapid learning and sharing of knowledge, and sustainable value creation for the communities at the centre of our natural and built worlds.

Asset owners, operators and maintainers are in a prime position to shape and influence this conversation and lead reform.

This presentation will draw on examples of partnerships, co-creation and collaboration in play across Aotearoa New Zealand and the reform they are bringing.

Connecting the dots with levels of service!

Steve Browning, Strategic Asset Solutions

Presentation

The focus for the Road Efficiency Group is to enable a step change in transport sector leadership & capability. One of the projects that forms part of the REG Kaitiaki programme is the development of a consistent Level of Service (LoS) Framework for the transport sector.

The goal of the LoS framework is to be able to tell our transport investment story in a more consistent way and deliver on one of the objectives of the Road Maintenance Task Force of optimising investment in transport through differential levels of service.

The LoS Framework aligns community outcomes, transport outcomes and performance measures to ensure connected level of service outcomes are delivered in our range of service delivery contracts.

REG operates a collaborative co-design approach and throughout this project we have engaged with the sector to ensure the benefits and interactions of the project are well established. We have had excellent engagement and support from the sector and participation in the form of subject matter experts.

The LoS framework enables four key functions:

  1. Alignment of outcomes, service levels and performance measures.
  2. Optioneering to connect cost, service, and risk.
  3. Differentiation across transport networks using the One Network Framework.
  4. Investment level scenarios which combine level of service options.

The framework groups levels of service into three categories – Strategic, Tactical and Operational to provide direct alignment with cost and risk, and some structure to have service level conversations.

Applying the One Network Framework, the LoS categories and our streamlined optioneering process has enabled better service level conversations and better transport investment decisions to be made.

Our Asset Management Journey

Jessie Lea and Stephen O'Neill, Department of Corrections

Presentation

Our historic management structure did not contain an obvious asset management function.  The population crisis, external assurance (ICR and Ombudsman) and the reactive nature of our responses all indicated the need to improve AM and increase our ability to plan strategically. A new AM Directorate was created, and capability added. It is an exciting opportunity for a fresh start, building on existing foundations. We are developing an asset management approach, so that our assets can contribute to our Hōkai Rangi objectives.

Hōkai Rangi is a values-based, people-centric strategy, aimed at improving rehabilitation rates, reducing both recidivism and the percentage of Māori in our care. Challenges include: How do we link infrastructure asset management to a people-centric strategy? How do we create environments that are ‘humanising and healing’? How do we define Levels of Service for our unique population and develop performance targets and measures, that ensure our facilities meet Hōkai Rangi objectives?

The presentation will describe how we are addressing this challenge, also focussing on how we are recognising:

  • asset data and information as a critical asset category in its own right
  • the need for targeted investment in our custodial health services and three waters infrastructure
  • the benefit of implementing a programme of spatial masterplans for our custodial facilities

Implementing a Whānau Centric whole of lifecycle - Cost and value tool

Tracy Massam, Pou Herenga Whai Rawa at Tāmaki Regeneration Company

Presentation

As an Asset Planning Manager, having the data, information and insight required to easily understand and make strategic decisions to maximise life-cycle cost and value has been transformative in shifting the conversation from cost to “value”.

With urban regeneration and TRCs redevelopment programme underway in Tāmaki, we have all the elements of the time, cost and quality documented to inform a Whole of Life Cost a Value Tool based on:

  • Whole of Life (time) using TRCs redevelopment timeframes denoting remaining life for each house.
  • Cost (affordability) to meet TRCs agreed Levels of Service and maintain this standard over their remaining life.
  • Value (quality) determined by our component-based Levels of Service in order to help meet service delivery requirements to ensure e.g. warm, dry, safe, secure and compliant homes.

Through clear and concise examples and live scenarios using our Whānau Centric Whole of Lifecycle Cost and Value decision making tool – “Pou Herenga” we will demonstrate:

  1. TRCs Asset Management System and our urban redevelopment programme in action and how these link to and inform Pou Herenga
  2. The power of our Levels of Service as drivers for value generated by the use of our assets
  3. How we balance what our whānau value and what TRC value
  4. How data is returned to our asset information management system; and
  5. How we track and report on the impact of the decisions we make every day.

Hawkes Bay, Arts & Events Centre: Digital Savvy Solution for a Hastings Heritage Asset

Dan Jurgens, WSP

Presentation

The Toitoi Hawke’s Bay Arts & Events Centre represents Hastings’ cultural heart. Re-opened in 2020, the facility integrates the fully refurbished and seismically strengthened historic Hawke’s Bay Opera House and a brand-new modern wing.
To protect this iconic community asset for future generations, WSP worked closely with Hastings District Council to complete a full Asset Information Model for the facility. The result is a future- focused asset management tool that enables the council to easily oversee and maintain all facility elements.
For the project, WSP’s digital engineering team created a digital replica of Toitoi using quality asset data captured with terrestrial based LIDAR scanning (a remote sensing non-invasive method using light to measure distance).
A key project outcome – the result of carefully listening to the client’s stated needs – has been the

integration of new data within the council’s pre-existing data management tool.
The final objective needed to be future ready – the next phase of works will be installing sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, asset lifecycle costs and maintenance. Enhanced customer experience capabilities including viewing your seat during booking and map directions to navigate to your seat on arrival. All of these exciting features can be run from the digital foundation created.

WSP’s bespoke digital solution has simplified Toitoi’s asset management process, minimised costs, and advanced predictive maintenance and asset renewal – ensuring ‘best-care’ outcomes for this important community asset well into the future.
