180_hact11.00-11.20 – HACT: The Internet of Things & Corbusier’s Machine for Living

Speaker: Matt Leach, Chief Executive, HACT

Cheap sensors, ubiquitous connectivity and cloud-based analytics are poised to radically change every aspect of housing businesses. Co-founder of the Connected Home Consortium, Matt Leach will talk about the Internet of Things, business transformation, privacy, innovation and how, 50 years after his death, UK housing is on the brink of realising Le Corbusier’s vision of the home as a ‘machine for living’.

11.20-11.30 – 10-minute break

180_isos11.30-11.50 – Isos Housing: Four Candles and a New Tyre Please: Automating Your Trade Business Processes

Speaker: John Sammons, Assistant Director of Information and Technology Services

Moving regularly completed paperwork such as vehicle checks, out of hours callout sheets and overtime across to the Total Mobile platform was only the beginning of Isos Housing’s mobile strategy. Isos has used other technologies already established in the business including Capita’s Open Housing, Sharepoint 2013 and Nintex Workflow to enable ‘straight-through processing’ of this information.

180_redkite11.55-12.15 – Red Kite Community Housing: Developing an Agile Mobile Strategy

Speaker: Adam Rigg, New Media & Channel Specialist

Red Kite Community Housing has embarked on an ambitious mobile working adventure over the past year… Crucial to a full functional review of the whole business, we knew we had to be able to get our staff working smarter with modern technology. We developed an agile interim strategy of trying devices, native mobile forms, scheduling software, tenant online bookings, mobile working procedures, back-office workarounds and mobile apps to see what worked and what didn’t. We started with just one person with one iPad using one form and now we have 30 device users and 18 schedulers transforming the way we work.

180_btbusiness12.20-13.00 – BT Futurology: The 6Ds Driving the Future of Work

Speaker: Dr Nicola Millard, Head of Customer Insight & Futures, BT Global Innovation

Despite working for a technology company, Nicola isn’t actually a technologist and combines psychology with futurology to try and anticipate what might be lying around the corner for both customers and organisations (sadly, her crystal ball is currently broken). Her presentation will focus on the views of BT’s futurologists on the six ‘dimensions’ driving the future of work.

1300 – To the Lifts for lunch at the top of the BT Tower!

Lunch at the top of the BT Tower.
