Join Professor Bent Flyvbjerg, the world’s leading megaproject expert, for a discussion on the factors that lead projects to fail, whether big or small, and the research-based principles that can make them succeed. Bent Flyvbjerg is the first BT Professor at Oxford University and the VKR Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen, an economic geographer, and “the world’s leading megaproject expert,” according to global consulting network KPMG. He has consulted on over one hundred projects costing $1 billion or more and has been knighted by the Queen of Denmark. Nobel Prize-winning author Professor Daniel Kahneman has called his work “important, timely, instructive, and entertaining”. His latest book, written with Dan Gardner, is How Big Things Get Done, which explores the successes and failures of project planning from the Sydney Opera House or the Olympics to solar farms and home renovations. The book reveals how to get any ambitious project done on time and on budget.

A conversation with Professor Richard H. Thaler, Nobel Prize winning economist and the father of behavioural economics to discuss his latest book, Nudge: The Final Edition. Professor Thaler’s ideas revolutionised economic thinking. The first edition of Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness, co-authored with Cass R. Sunstein, inspired the establishment of more than 400 ‘nudge’ units in governments around the world as well as countless behavioural science teams in every part of the economy. Nudge is about how we make choices. By knowing how people think, we can use “choice architecture” to nudge people toward the best decisions for ourselves, our families, and our society, without restricting our freedom of choice.

CDOT’s Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) of 2022 is designed to improve or preserve assets on our highways. CDOT’s plan goes beyond federal requirements, which focus on pavement and bridges, by including 10 other asset classes. The additional asset types include tunnels, buildings, rest areas, intelligent transportation systems (e.g., cameras and variable message signs), traffic signals, maintenance levels of service (MLOS), walls, culverts, fleet (including snow plows), and geohazards. The plan includes an 11-page executive summary that quickly describes asset inventories, performance, goals, risks and funding needs.

We know that resources are limited and deadlines are fast approaching to meet the provinces' guidelines. This presentation was introduced at a recent MMAH Treasurers' Forum with great interest so we wanted to bring you detailed information concerning asset management planning. KPMG has worked with an engineering firm to address questions and issues that municipalities will need to address as they set their asset management plans for the future, including a proposed workflow for asset management activities and examples for municipalities. You will learn: • How to approach asset management planning; what components to use and why • How to incorporate data that you already have into your asset management plan, helping you to control costs • Lessons learned from other municipal asset management plans • Best practice examples of how this tools is being used by others All participants will receive the tool to use in their municipality. About Your Speaker: Oscar Poloni, Partner KPMG, Sudbury Office has extensive experience working in the public sector, specifically in the areas of financial reporting, performance measurement and financial modelling.
