Introducing the Āpōpō Guide
Introducing the Āpōpō Guide – Your Course Text!
The go-to reference text for this course is the Āpōpō Guide. It’s an online resource for those practicing infrastructure asset management in Aotearoa New Zealand.
The Āpōpō Guide is more than just a guide – it is a comprehensive compilation of best practices, expert insights, and te ao Māori principles – tailored specifically to the unique context of Aotearoa New Zealand.
It brings together internationally-sourced practices (such as ISO 5500x and the GFMAM Asset Management Landscape) with locally-developed guidance (including Āpōpō digital badges like this one) to provide you with a holistic approach to infrastructure asset management.
By taking this course, you have become an essential part of the creation and transfer of knowledge, from experienced practitioners, into curious minds.
The Āpōpō Guide is an invaluable reference tool for asset managers.

The Āpōpō Guide Represents Best Practice Asset Management
The Āpōpō Guide represents an accumulation of knowledge on best practice asset management, earned over many years. It was written by several of our leading experts, many of whom also present digital badge videos, deliver in-person learning sessions, and support Āpōpō events such as Congress.
You may have the chance to meet some of them at Āpōpō conferences and branch meetings.
