Asset Management Skills Matrix

The National Asset Management Assessment Framework suggests that Councils should have a current asset management skills matrix or asset management services matrix.

The term isn't defined, but it is presumably a skills matrix with asset related skills forming one axis, and staff members along the other, with ticks and/or crosses or scores on the inside of the matrix, similar to the one shown below.
