Asset management isn’t just about maintaining, repairing and developing homes. It’s about the people who live in them and making sure their homes are kept safe. In this session, Glenn Allan, head of product (housing) for Capita One, explores how data can play a pivotal role in simplifying the management of compliance. This presentation will cover: how datasets can be automated to plan and manage compliance, including ‘the big six’ (fire, lifts, electrical, asbestos, gas and legionella/water management); how one landlord, downgraded from G1 to G3, digitally transformed its approach to safety with a 360-degree view of its data; why automation can help reduce risk, save time and lower costs.
Join us to find out how you can do more to ensure your tenants are safe and happy in their homes.

Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton has been a firefighter since she was 18 years old. She is now one of the most senior female firefighters in the UK. After leaving home at 15 and school at 16, she joined the fire service in Wales. While climbing the ranks, she studied at the Open University and then at Cardiff University, eventually completing a PhD in psychology. Her subsequent research into incident command in the emergency services has not only won awards but has also influenced policy at a global level. Sabrina was recently conferred as an Honorary Fellow at Cardiff University. Her first book, ‘The Heat of the Moment’, was published in 2019. She is an ambassador for the Big Issue. She lives with her husband and daughter in London.
Sabrina will share how her ground-breaking research into the psychology of decision–making in the emergency services has influenced policy and saved lives at a global level. She will talk about how the findings apply to decision makers in all walks of life to help us to understand our own responses when the pressure is on and help us all to make better decisions
Millions of UK households are expected to be hauled into fuel poverty for the first time as utility soar, leaving low-income households vulnerable to cold, damp and mould. Residents who’ve had dangerous cladding stripped from their buildings post-Grenfell may also find that their homes are less energy efficient. Simultaneously, legal firms who represent social landlords are having to hire extra staff to cope with a rising number of disrepair claims. However, there has never been a more intense focus on improving home safety for social housing residents.
Join FireAngel’s co-founder and chief product officer, Nick Rutter, to explore how IoT can provide a holistic, predictive solution to protecting residents and properties.
Speaker(s): Nick Rutter, Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer, FireAngel
Data has always been critical to organisations, but now they have taken centre stage as vital to business strategy and continuous improvement. As demand grows so do concerns about data quality and its integrity. This session will explore how we understand data quality, what tools are available and how to get everyone involved, from senior leaders to customers. This subject can first appear to be very grey and dry but I promise you will be seeing data quality rainbows after this session…

Data has taken centre stage in everything we do… we’ve seen how businesses are running critical functions using a daisy chain of spreadsheets or companies hoarding data thinking it might bring them value one day. We all accept that data governance is crucial to success, but we don’t take it seriously until something terrible has happened. I will take you on a journey on why data governance can be like ‘Fight Club’ and how this approach can help you engage, influence or even make the most pessimistic stakeholder into a data champion.
Speaker(s): Tariq Bhatti, Head of Data & Analytics
Optivo has 45,000 homes. It was founded by the joining of AmicusHorizon and Viridian (both made up of previous mergers and amalgamations). We are about to merge again. This time with the Southern Housing Group (32,000 homes). The presentation covers realisations and lessons learnt over time from previous mergers or stock transfers. It looks at imposing today’s management practices, data requirements and expectations on records accumulated in tranches over time. It asks questions like: if data has been not maintained or kept, what can we do about it; what can we do to prevent mergers causing future data issues.
Speaker(s): Robert Stewart, Head of Design & Development (Technology)
