There’s no such thing as “business as usual” today. Increasing policies and tightening regulations, mergers and acquisitions, demand continuing to outstrip supply, property portfolios becoming more diverse, constantly shifting social policies over reliance on disparate, legacy systems, and the need to innovate to address competition is applying huge pressure on margins and costs for Housing providers.
With the role in today’s society being more than ‘managing’ a property, it’s important for providers to encourage a holistic approach against a challenging economic backdrop. Your procurement and finance decisions play a pivotal role as to whether your organisation can meet the rising expectations of tenants, communities, employees, stakeholders, funding organisations and regulatory authorities.
