The readership should be able to see how asset management was implemented, what the challenges were, how they were overcome and what the benefits are both those demonstrated to achieve buy-in and those actually realised. For consultants, remember that the major focus should be on the client activity and result, with a clear but muted note on how your company has helped. We want Assets to feel more like a magazine than a technical journal, so feel free to use informal language. Use the following checklist to help make sure the article pushes asset management thinking: 1. I ntroduction to the challenges and facets of the asset-owning company. 2. W hat have been the most important asset management developments at the company? 3. H ow did the implementation of asset management happen what was the process? 4. W hat are the results of using asset management? Please make an effort to describe benefits in as clear and tangible a manner as possible. 5. W hat were the difficulties faced and the lessons that have been learned? Please be able to supply any images as original TIFFs or JPEGs for reproduction purposes. If your submission is to be published in Assets, we will need a short authors biography (about 40 words) and a portrait photograph. The Assets team will sub-edit your draft in line with the house style of the magazine and send you a new version to review and approve. We will consider articles up to 1,500 words long. If youd like to include any charts, graphs or diagrams, we ask that you limit them to one per 500 words.
