Resource Integration Advantage Across the Hierarchy: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice in Multi-Level Asset Orchestration.

Abstract

This paper illustrates how a well-structured use of ‘Asset Orchestration' can facilitate business change within a specific Enterprise. The study thus demonstrates how systematic integration and facilitation of collective decision making at different levels of abstraction can support large-scale organisational change within multi-level management teams. The approach taken provides a Reference Model, or road map for multilevel decision making. This road map was conceived to: (1) Help visualise and improve understandings about the application of asset orchestration approach; and (2) Provide a framework for organising (and sustaining) interdisciplinary transformational projects. (3) Provide a ‘source of reference’, with an embedded capability to guide decisions made and/or actions taken by different classes of user concerned with the life cycle engineering of a business.
