Ailsa Hardy, Production Director commented “Utilities, transport, and energy organisations plus DNO’s/TSO’s across the UK and Europe are at varying stages of their asset management journey, but something that they all have in common is the need to develop and better align asset management strategy and investment with the wider objectives of the organisation. So this eBook investigates how asset management leaders can drive this change by becoming more strategic in their approach.” The complimentary interactive eBook can be read in full at: http://bit.ly/19ejmax
