Speaking

This workshop will introduce proven concepts of a design methodology, Design Thinking, that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems.  This workshop will explore how to apply the methodology, address challenging problems faced by asset management programs and explore creative and analytical thinking for innovative solutions. How can we better utilize asset data? How can we effectively engage our resources? What are the optimal processes required to maintain the program? Outcomes will be applicable solutions crafted through an interactive learning experience. B&N’s Kevin Campanella will present as part of a panel for this pre-conference workshop. 

The focus of this workshop will help introduce an “operational” and “field first” approach to asset management that centers the “strategy” around O&M planning and optimization and introduces a more “action based, game-oriented” framework. It will be guided by industry experts who are volunteering on behalf of the AWWA AM O&M Planning and Optimization Sub Committee.
