====== The Asset Management Story ======

This is Talking Infrastructure's space for Asset Management history, to capture where we have come from as a practice since its origins in 1980s South Australia. It's a fascinating tale, and it also helps illuminate where we need to go next.

Penny Burns leads **The Story of Asset Management**, a multi volume history that we are initially publishing in parts. For Volume 1, part 1, [[https://talkinginfrastructure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/AM-as-a-Quest-Part-One.pdf]]

We are also republishing the best of Penny's newsletter Strategic Asset Management, which she published biweekly from 1998, following on from her Asset Management Quarterly International. [[SAM Archive:From the SAM Archives]]

Our history is a collective effort: if you were there, contact us to tell your story. We are currently compiling Volume 2, from 1994 to 2003 - the eve of the publication of the first AM standard BSI PAS-55 - focusing on the action in Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
