As more practitioners gain the knowledge and technical skills around the principles of asset management, the next challenge is to advance leadership capacity within organizations. Key factors that contribute to challenges in leadership include strong interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, and the ability to inspire and motivate teams. The rapid pace of technological change requires leaders to be adept at managing digital transformation. Leaders need to be adaptable and innovative to navigate complex and changing environments.
To support the practice of asset management in Canada, CNAM has launched a leadership training program geared specifically for organizations interested in mobilizing the benefits of asset management in the business practices of the organization.
The Leadership Certificate program supports skill development in the challenges of leading an organization in the various stages of adopting asset management practices. Participants in the program will have already completed training in the principles of asset management or equivalent experience working in asset management.
The program will align with ISO55000, IIMM and IAM and the course material will be based on the CNAM Competency Framework.
Rather than focusing on the technical aspects, this certification program guides participants through key elements of leading their organization to adopt asset management, including the following key benefits:
Program Delivery & Schedule (Cohort 2) Semester 1 (September to December 2026)
Semester 2 (January to April 2027)
Note: The program requires 70 hours of participation. Each course has 7 hours in-class and 3 hours of homework (or pre-work) plus 10 hours for capstone project.
