Lessons learned from the introduction of Asset Investment Planning tools in the UK water industry

Presenter: Richard Edwards
Executive Director, AMCL USA
Description:
Water companies in the UK are facing unprecedented challenges to meet more demanding stakeholder needs at the same time as demonstrating better value for money for customers. AMCL worked in partnership with one of the largest UK water businesses and a leading technology provider to introduce new Asset Investment Planning capabilities to respond to these challenges. This case study explores the background and specific challenges facing the organization, explores the preparatory work that was undertaken prior to procuring an enterprise tool and presents the benefits that were ultimately delivered. It will explore the lessons learned from this and other case studies in implementing AIP solutions. It will explore how the implementation of an AIP software tool will not by itself deliver a step-change in asset investment planning capability. This requires improvements in the wider organizational aspects involved in investment planning including the business operating model elements, business processes, organizational accountabilities, roles & responsibilities, governance, data quality, behaviours, ways of working and performance.
