Working with Levels of Service: Technical Assistance
Asset Management BCDescription:
A practical workshop by Asset Management BC that examines what Levels of Service (LOS) are, why they’re important, and how to define and work with them for your community. Using a customizable, spreadsheet-based LOS tool (developed by leading asset management experts and customized for use in BC), you’ll get to work with your own data and information. Includes 6 sessions with 10 hours of total training.
Online workshop series schedule:
Requirements:
Laptops or tablets running MS Excel are required for all sessions.
Format:
Drawing from past experiences, you will get the most out of this workshop if a minimum of three people from different departments and disciplines attend together. Councillors and Area Directors interested in rolling up their sleeves are also encouraged to attend. While workshop material is tailored to smaller communities, it has also proven to help larger communities define and communicate levels of service across the organization and with other stakeholders, including external agencies.
Important Note:
Training subsidies of up to 50% per registration are available to eligible participants. For more information, please email us at [email protected]
