Background

In 2017 the first annual Asset Information Manager’s Forum was held as a subgroup under the EEA’s Asset Management Group (AMG).  This forum served to bring together those responsible for asset information in NZ electricity generation, transmission and distribution organisations.  Apart from creating cross industry connections, the group also shared solutions to common asset information problems, discussed industry guidelines and explored where it made sense to standardise such as where asset connect between the three sectors represented.  This group created the EEA’s Asset Information Maturity Framework which was published in 2021.  

The EEA organised the AIMF which was held on 3^rd November 2023 to continue the momentum and work of this forum.  The goal is to bring together industry participants with the purpose of the forum continuing to be:

1.  Develop and agree standards, guidelines and maturity assessment for managing asset information.
2.  Enable asset information managers from electricity generation, transmission and distribution to understand how others as are dealing with challenges that are common across the industry.
3.  Create relationships that are useful when making contact throughout the year to discuss issues that affect other organisations in the industry.

Feedback from the last forum is that there is value in continuing with the annual Asset Information Manager’s Forum (AIMF) as it provided a valuable opportunity to connect on asset information topics across the industry.
