Social Media for
Asset Management
Getting the foundations right in local government
Presented by Fergal Coleman & Phillip Dooley
29th May 2013
Introduction
• Symphony3 – who we are?
• What is social media and what does it mean for Local Government?
• How does it fit into the asset management environment?
• A practical example
Social media - think about people
• Social Media = a set of web tools to allow you to more effectively develop relationships and solve problems for your customers/stakeholders
Why are we doing this?
We can make great gains• 20% improvement in marketing effectiveness• 18% increase in customer satisfaction• 10% reduction in operational costs• 15% decrease in marketing costs• 41% increase in employee satisfaction• 20% decrease in travel costs
“The Rise of the networked enterprise: Web2.0 finds its payday” McKinsey Quarterly, December 2010
• Online is the cheapest way to service customers. A report by SocitM in the UK (www.socitm.gov.uk) on customer service found to service a customer request:
– It costs on average £7.40 face to face
– It costs on average £2.90 by telephone
– It costs on average £0.30 on the web4
Social media is just another channel to better communicate and service customers
Social Media in the hands of every department

Objective: Think about relationships
Are more effective stakeholder relationships in the best interests of your organisation?
What would it mean to your council if you were more effective at …..?

Facebook – Asset Management Example
• Timely updates (e.g. floods, festival)• Community feedback and
engagement• Interactive content
Collaborating – government with citizens
Community Input of Asset Information
• Community Fully Engaged and Participating
• Use any of tools to contact council and they expect service:• Facebook, Twitter, Mobile Apps (council specific apps, neatstreets,
Snapsendsolve), email, sms etc
• Is this the next generation of field capture software ??
The community does the work – apps, open data

How does Social Media affect Asset Management ??
Asset Management is Slowly Evolving
We over estimate the change that will occur in
three years and under estimate the change that
will occur in 10 years. • There is a 40 year technology roadmap we are all following.– It is about 20 years since the Internet became available to the public.– We have some idea where we are going for the next 20 years.– Some organisations are already doing things 20 years into the future.• Organisations are currently spread out all over this 40 year road map.• This presentation has a look at the five Asset Management Generations

GENERATION

GENERATION

GENERATION
FIFTH
GENERATION
Traditional Asset Management
• Traditional Asset Management was fairly straight forward
• A surprising number of buildings are still managed this way.• Arguable some assets only ever need this level of asset management (Guide posts)
Something is not working
We fix it!
Something is Broken
We replace it!
Something has a value
That’s accountants
business!
GIS?
A set of plan draws and a
drafting section
It became obvious that we may not be able to afford to fix things as they break
• Most local governments started with roads and a pavement management system (PMS). (Prompted by Legislation and Federal Policy)• GIS became the primary Asset Capture and Management System.If they weren’t on a map they don’t exist!
When will it fail?
What will it cost to replace?
Lets not tell the accountants!
Will we have the money to
replace it?
What is it’s current
condition?
When is the optimum time to replace it?
What is it’s true current value?
Ability to predict cap ex for 25 years +
The only systematic asset records we
have are our maps
If we put them in a GIS we can capture and manage data
GIS allowed us to manage current
condition and value
Second Generation Asset Management
Third Generation Asset Management
GOOD ASSET MANAGEMENT IS A LOT MORE COMPLEX !
• Government wants us to measure the depreciation – renewal gap.– Are we spending enough to maintain the standard of our assets ?
• We are expected to proactively maintain assets.• We are expected to proactively find defects.
• We need to be able to model different options and outcomes.
• We provide “Services” and have service levels.
• Assets include things like Parks, Buildings and even artwork.
• Finance expect our valuation to agree with theirs!
• The GIS database doesn’t fit two condition values at the same time!
Third Generation Asset Management – WORKS!
We are expected to consider the
community needs.
– Writing Asset plans is fairly easy.
– Making the community need practically change how we do maintenance is a lot harder.

Fourth generation has already started.
Welcome to Web 2.0 (or 3.0? or 4.0?)
Welcome to any information being available instantly anywhere in the world!
Our data just left the building!
What is Web 2.0 (For the non technical)
THE REAL CHANGE IS BEING DRIVEN BY THE INTERNET (Web 2.0)
• What does it do?– Allows any piece of data to be stored anywhere in the world and still
be viewed or edited live anywhere else in the world. (The Cloud)
– Allows any system to send a piece of information to any other system.
• The information contains both data and instructions on what to do with it. (A web service)
– It hangs together using worldwide standards.
– Is the way most screens talk to a database or piece of software.
• It allows social media to exist and thrive.
• For this presentation it looks like this!WEB 2.0
• LIVE !28

What can go wrong.
• Data capture has not been put into maintenance.– Old or wrong data has become dangerous, everyone can see it.
• Integration to web 2.0 does not work.
• The data is not accessible
• Integration cannot work without a corporate data model.– Corporate data must be cleaned to match the model.
• i.e. is our address the same as everyone else's address?
• The organisation does not want to change– People must see the need to change.

Moving into the future – the fifth generation
“In the past we (local government) told the
community what we were doing, we have
now evolved to engaging the community in
what we propose to do, but the expectation
of the community today is that not only will
they be engaged but they will directly
influence and they will have control
over what happens. This is not an
unreasonable expectation.”
John Nevins, CEO, City of Kingston.

THE FOREIGN WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA
• Mature lifecycle based asset management.
• Mature GIS with 600+ users.• Duplication of asset and GIS data
entry• No single source of Truth
• A vague understanding of Social media
• Poor understanding of what the public think – difficulty engaging them.

Catch the Social Media
Data – In the Cloud
Understand the issues capturing
asset information from the public on an iPhone.
You will have at least 3 iPhone environments:• Asset management on your
phone– Make and receive work orders– An extension of your internal
system
• Council information on your phone– A version of your website
• BYO software used by the public– You have no control over it– You are expected to catch the
data– This is Social media

The data is in the building within 30
seconds.
SOCIAL MEDIACapture• XY, Photo• Description• CRM fault category• Sender details
From• iPhone App• Twitter• Facebook
• Allow a manual check & approval process
• Use XY and the fault category to pickup the Asset_ID.
• Restructure to data to the required format for the CRM
The asset has the fault details and photo
attached in the Corporate Systems.
The twitter message is processed as a normal job
What did Brimbank Learn ?
• You can’t do anything without open clean complete data– You have to achieve single source of truth for data first.
– Most Local Governments are several years from this.
• The Technology is the easy part, the people and process is hard.
• It is not clear where the social media world fits into a Local Government.– Do assets, communications or customer service control it?
– We think it is like GIS, a separate section services all of them.
• Council Staff still expect to totally control the software that the public use.– Your next young employees will assume otherwise
– Making your corporate system available on an iPhone is not social media.
• This does not replace creating or executing work orders directly into your asset management system from a phone or tablet – you need both!
• Local Government is yet to effectively use it to drive asset management.
• This is the start of a 20 year journey!
Summary – Social Media Next Steps
It’s here!
It’s real!
It’s solving Real Local Government problems!
It’s an integral Part of Future Asset Management!
