From Asset Ownership to Optimization as a Shift in Mindset
8
This model assumes that government entities retain full ownership, provide primary funding, and manage risks throughout the asset’s lifecycle. While this approach has enabled vital infrastructure delivery, it places ongoing fiscal and operational demands on the public sector. Long-term value creation and alternative financing options are often underutilized, leading to increased interest in more flexible, partnership driven models aligned with national development goals. In recent times, governments have been urged to take a more strategic approach in managing resources to create both economic and social impact.

Traditionally, asset management in governments and large institutions has been approached with a limited focus on maintenance, compliance, and keeping services running smoothly. These assets were treated as static necessities, financed through annual budgets and managed to preserve continuity, not to create value.
This mindset shift opened the door to innovative approaches, and we can say that focus has changed from what do we own? to how can we create value from what we own?
