Government has implemented a range of measures that encourage and require the adoption of good asset management practice. The drive of these measures is to create a strategic emphasis on asset management and highlight its importance in meeting efficiency targets, in improving services and in realising the new freedoms and flexibilities.



As with most aspects of public service improvement, good asset management is dependent on better cross boundary and partnership working, both between authorities and with other public and private sector organisations.




Hosted by the New Local Government Network (NLGN) in association with Land Securities Trilium, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and the 4ps
, this event will offer leading authorities and senior decision-makers an opportunity to discuss with peers the importance of asset management as a strategic priority. The event will also involve discussion of emerging partnerships, including strategic property partnerships, as outlined in a new study by PricewatershouseCoopers and Land Securities Trilium, Asset Management Solutions for Local Government and the role of Strategic Property Partnerships.



Additional speakers at the event include:

Nigel Mason, Director, York Consulting and author of Beacon Council Guidance on Asset Management; Mike Burt, Director, Government Relocation and Asset Management, Office of Government Commerce; and Ian Ellis, Chief Executive, Land Securities Trilium.
