Thanks to PASA for inviting me. Thanks to Jane for seamlessly Chairing the session, and to Anna Taylor and Lorraine Harper for sharing their insights with me. Thinking about the two areas of focus I mentioned: Technical Debt - the debt we have built up over decades of underinvesting in administration technology. Talent Debt - the experienced first wave of administrators have retired, professional trustees and consultants are hoovering talent and firms have underinvested in training and development programs (primarily through COVID worries). We need to invest in talent and create pathways for administration to be a vibrant long term career again. Debt has to be paid, and the only way to balance this equation is to stop thinking of this as a sunset industry and invest with longer term aspirations. There will always be benefit provision, the assets and liabilities do not disappear. That will be serviced in different ways but skills are transferable and new markets present. We will always have retirement savers, from my perspective, and we can flex with their needs. So, in short in my 42 years every sunset has been followed by a sunrise (I have not been to Norway in fairness). If that doesn’t happen, pensions are the least of our worries!! (See ESG policies)

Yippee!

Thanks, Syed Ahnaf Morshed, Ph.D. and Catalina Echeverri for the chance to participate in the #TSMO showcase at #ITEAM2024 to discuss how TSMO and #SafeSystem overlap. TSMO is so much more than ITS; it is a framework for getting the most out of our existing system. As someone who studied operations research as an undergrad, the concept of optimization to a goal and looking for win-wins has always been exciting to me. As we paradigm shift to reframe our transportation system goal from mobility to accessibility and prioritize kinetic energy risk reduction, we have a lot to learn from TSMO. And TSMO experts can become additional Safe System leaders when we institutionalize the shift with #VisionZero2.0. One example of this was highlighted in our recent Fehr & Peers blog post on safety and evacuation - looking for win-wins through TSMO: https://lnkd.in/gZg4DbTW
