Reality Check

Real estate likes to talk about transformation. Reality Check asks what actually happens once the strategy deck meets the organisation, the technology meets the building, and the pilot meets a budget.

We start by putting the construction and real estate industry on the examination table. How digital are we, where are we actually improving - and where have years of innovation programmes produced surprisingly little change?

Then we look outside the industry. DNB, Vipps, Ruter, Posten/Bring and others have tried to transform large, established organisations without the luxury of starting from scratch. What worked, what failed, and what should real estate steal?

And finally, the stories that rarely make the conference stage: the pilots that died, the products nobody wanted and the KPIs that looked better in PowerPoint.
