KEYNOTE:
New Dimensions in Government Asset Management
While many agencies have shown drastic improvement
toward financially beneficial asset management, there are
still more ways to enhance the cost savings and contributions to
performance. For years the United States General Services Administration
has struggled to finance reinvestment in its large, geographically
dispersed, and diverse inventory of federal buildings. In 2002,
GSA decided to adjust to circumstances and adopted an aggressive
commercial style of asset management. The agency began targeting
its limited reinvestment funds to only those properties for which
there was a healthy customer demand, where costs were in line with
market comparables, and where the amount of reinvestment was warranted
by asset value and condition. Since then dozens of underutilized
and nonperforming assets have been sold or donated to other government
agencies. Today GSA has a slightly smaller, financially healthier
portfolio. Learn what GSA is doing to remove obstacles and implement
new and exciting advances in their asset management methods.

Aligning
Asset Management to Mission
Performance in Government
Asset management should play a pivotal role in the overall
mission of your agency. Managing assets in the larger scheme of
the agency’s overall mission enhances agency financial and
accountability performance. Proper alignment allows for appropriate
cost allocation of assets to specific programs and
informs management where costs are truly being spent - or wasted.
Learn to accentuate your agency’s mission by aligning with
your asset management approach.

Adopting a Life Cycle Asset Management Approach
Government agencies can improve financial responsibility
by implementing a holistic life cycle asset
management approach. From acquisition to disposal,
agencies can gain cost efficiencies and improved
managerial decision-making through proper asset
utilization. Agencies can budget, track and maintain
assets for fiscal improvements through an enterprise-
wide management approach.

Public-Private
Partnerships in Government Asset Management
Partnering with the private sector can help reduce wasteful expenditures
on unnecessary property as well as streamline and enhance the disposal
process. Public-private partnerships help agencies achieve their
missions and goals by reducing the
amount of deteriorating, functionally obsolescent, energy-inefficient
and underutilized assets. The utilization of public-private partnerships
can create a great financial advantage for both sides through implementing
effective contracts and incentives.

Inventory
and Tracking of Government Assets: Tools and Techniques
Enhancements in technology have made it easier to maintain timely,
precise and easily accessible data to make informed decisions to
reduce wasteful expenditures. It is essential to keep an accurate
inventory of assets for management to be able to make better and
informed decisions. Management can assess
opportunities for financial savings and determine when to dispose
or sell assets when comprehensive data is available. An all-inclusive
inventory optimizes asset use through centralized databases that
include an asset’s location, availability and condition.
