AMS Behavior: Operations

Asset Management System Behavior Miniseries

If done right, in a world with no surprises, asset management operations are anticlimactic.  Everything goes as expected, but we know this world does not exist, and that asset management operations are not this boring.  In practice, asset management operations are very exciting.  They are where all the action happens, and where value is realized.
