The list below provides a high-level summary of the primary responsibilities an organization must undertake for an AM program. These are the general actions involved at different stages of the development and implementation of an AM management system. While described differently, these responsibilities broadly overlap with and maintain consistency with other key industry frameworks including ISO 55000, the GFMAM AM Landscape, and the IAM Anatomy.
The AM Responsibilities:
- Community Context
- AM Governance
- AM Policy
- AM Strategy
- AM Management System
- Level of Service
- Project Prioritization
- Project Assessment
- AM Plans
- AM Long-Term Financial Plans
- Organizational Financial Integration
- Risk Integration
- Life Cycle Management
- AM Roadmap
- Information
- Information Systems
- AM Culture
- Resources
- Stakeholders
The table below provides further details of the AM Responsibilities. It outlines a general area of responsibility and then describes the typical actions undertaken by each AM Functional Area in relation to that area of responsibility. The actions are intended to connect the who (AM Functional Areas and AM Roles) with the what (AM Responsibilities) and serve as the foundation upon which the AM Competencies were defined, and the AM Competency profiles were built. They are the tasks that the AM Competencies are required to best perform. They can also serve as a general reference when building an AM program.
As described on the Scaling Options page, there are different organizational scales in Canadian communities and different levels of AM maturity depending on organizational goals. The organization’s size, current and target levels of AM maturity, and AM and competency management goals, will determine how the organization should plan its organizational structure and roles, and adapt the AM responsibilities to them. Several of the AM responsibilities are likely already being done by staff within the organization. Start with those and with the organization’s AM roadmap and determine what immediate, and long-term responsibilities the organization needs to prioritize.
