The Coordination Problem - Travis Soutter - Concordia AM

Travis Soutter has spent 25 years inside asset management — Visy, Amcor, AGL, now running his own consultancy, Concordia. He thinks most organisations are already doing asset management. They just don't call it that, and they don't coordinate it.In this episode we get into:– Why the ISO 55000 label has made things worse, not better– The shutdown planning war story that taught him why "everyone hits their critical path" still isn't enough– Why 50% of a good CEO's decisions are gut instinct — and what that means for engineers– The training course where only one person in the room thought they did asset management (everyone did)– How tangible and intangible assets follow the same maintenance logic — including brand– Courage and empathy as leadership disciplines, not soft skillsTravis is a CAMA-certified consultant and his intro-to-asset-management course is now endorsed by the World Partners in Asset Management (WPiAM).
