April 2014 - Present

The Challenge.

Capability within public entities to manage their infrastructure assets has been the focus of the IPWEA for many years.

IPWEA was recognised as a leading association for infrastructure management professionals and was seeking for a way to scale capability development internationally while retaining the high standards of its face-to-face courses.

Building Success Together.

IPWEA engaged the Cahoot team to assist with a total course redesign from a 4-day face-to-face program into a completely digital, community-based delivery, with a focus on:

Scaling it globally

Ensuring global learners can access this program, building stronger networked relationships between the learners, industry experts and IPWEA. A continuous improvement plan is also in place to ensure regular improvements to the program.

Industry-focused credentials

Developing a new type of industry-focused credentials, recognising the learner’s achievement for completing the program.

Practical and Applicable

Building a highly-practical program with the final assignment being an actual Asset Management Plan created from the learner’s organisation data, signed off by their manager and implementing back into their organisation.

Providing an immersive learning experience.

"The Professional Certificate in Asset Management Planning effectively builds participants knowledge and understanding of asset management planning, however where this course really excels is the practical, applied and contextualized learning process which supports learners to get hands-on with their data, building an asset management plan, in a supported learning environment."
