What people say about Āpōpō
Āpōpō membership provides us with networking, knowledge gained from other points of view, seminars/conferences. Branch meetings all help my staff too.
Āpōpō are working hard to help find solutions to some of the industry's biggest problems.
The badges have highlighted an effective and efficient way to identify differences between property and asset management.
This is fundamental to my decision of putting the whole team through.
Entry into the Āpōpō Excellence Awards delivers multiple benefits to all... I fully recommend to anyone entering the Āpōpō Excellence Awards. The effort required will be paid back many times over.
The digital badge has given me a wider understanding of my work in implementing and monitoring capital projects, as well as a greater appreciation for the importance of asset management in infrastructure development.
The networking was very valuable. My team spent some time to review the content internally and this has been even more useful.
Investing in the capability building of staff through training reflects the importance the City of Marion places on asset management to provide its community the best outcomes possible.
