Woolpert Strategic Asset Management Subject Matter Expert Shiv Iyer, Ph.D., PE, PMP, MIAM, has been elected vice chair of the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 251.
ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization with members from 164 countries.

The group gathered in China in May to discuss the ISO Technical Specialization (TS) 55010 guideline, which was then published in October. ISO/TS 55010 enables organizations to better understand how the alignment between financial and non-financial functions is important in realizing value from assets.
