Property management in Australia has been facing challenges for years — tenants feel ignored, landlords are frustrated, and managers are burning out. The question is: is the entire model broken beyond repair?In this episode, we sit down with Scott Bateman, strategist, innovator, and founder of property management platform Kolmeo, to unpack what's gone wrong and what the future could look like. Scott brings unique insights from running Australia's largest property management business, where outdated systems, legislative overload, and high staff turnover made clear that incremental fixes weren't enough.We explore why property management has long been treated as a poor cousin to sales, why one in three managers leave the industry within 11 months, and how fragmented tech solutions have created more problems than they solve. Scott also explains how AI and structured processes could standardise quality, reduce burnout, and make renting a dignified experience rather than a second-class one.Along the way, we tackle the unintended consequences of well-meaning legislation, why institutional investment won't solve the rental crisis, and whether property managers could evolve into strategic advisors rather than administrators. This conversation isn't just about real estate — it's about reimagining an industry at a crossroads.Episode Highlights00:00 – Introduction: Is Property Management Broken?01:41 – Why the Current Property Management Model Fails05:25 – Tech: Part of the Problem or the Solution?15:52 – Why the Industry Struggles to Embrace Change17:20 – Market Shifts Reshaping Property Management19:52 – How Tenant Behavior Is Changing the Market21:36 – The Future of Property Management Technology22:22 – Shifting Perspectives on Offshoring and Technology23:20 – AI and the Promise of Radical Efficiency25:08 – Challenges in Property Management Compliance25:59 – Tenant Data, Bias, and the Rental Dilemma31:26 – Can Property Managers Become Advisors?36:26 – Balancing the Landlord-Tenant-Manager Triangle41:42 – Why Scaling Property Management Is So Hard42:19 – Lessons Learned: Rethinking the IndustryAbout the GuestScott Bateman has firmly cemented himself as one of Australian real estate's most influential voices on organisational strategy, technology, and innovation. With a career spanning banking, insurance, and property, Scott spent more than a decade at Westpac and IAG before leading the growth and transformation of Australia's largest property management business.In 2020, he launched Kolmeo, a game-changing property management platform now embraced by some of the country's most innovative agencies, including Nelson Alexander, Xceed, Melbourne Real Estate, and Marshall White.

Juan Esteve, director de inversiones de Kau Markets y Zona Value, señala a AENA, IAG, BBVA, Sabadell, Telefónica y CAF como las principales empresas ahora mismo en la bolsa nacional.

Carlos Ladero, analista de mercado, hace balance del cierre en la bolsa española señalando a Acciona Energía, Solaria, Sabadell, IAG e Inditex.

Como aperitivo a la Reserva Federal, el Banco Central de Canadá ha cumplido con las expectativas y bajado tipos 25 puntos básicos. Los había mantenido en sus últimas tres reuniones. Los miembros de la Fed se sientan en la mesa hoy con datos débiles en el sector inmobiliario. Fuertes descensos en inicios de vivienda y permisos de construcción. En empresas, era de esperar la caída en Nvidia tras conocerse que China pide a sus tecnológicas que dejen de comprar chips de inteligencia artificial de la estadounidense. Analizamos el mercado con Alberto Salgado, de Grupo Caja Rural. Vemos pistas técnicas en gráficos y hacemos Gestión del Patrimonio con SilverGold Patrimonio. En Bolsa española, y dentro del Ibex 35, lideran las subidas las Acciona, IAG y Ferrovial. Al frente de los recortes se ponen Solaria, Sabadell y Puig.

En el Consultorio de Bolsa de Capital Intereconomía, José María Lerma, analista independiente, repasa la situación del mercado y la evolución del Ibex 35, además de los valores bursátiles más destacados. Según explica, los 15.000 puntos están resistiendo con fuerza pese a las tensiones de las últimas semanas: “Parece extraño que, con los catalizadores que hemos tenido, el índice no haya cedido. Llevo esperando recortes desde julio, pero no llegan, y cualquier excusa está sirviendo para comprar”, señaló. Sobre si es momento de aprovechar posibles caídas en el mercado español, Lerma insistió en que la banca sigue siendo un sector clave en el que hay que estar posicionado. También destacó el buen comportamiento de compañías como Acciona, aunque en su opinión sería recomendable esperar un ajuste adicional antes de entrar. Junto a ella, apuntó oportunidades en valores como ACS, IAG, Iberdrola o Repsol.

Las claves de la sesión en la bolsa española señalan a Telefónica, BBVA, CaixaBank, IAG y Ezentis. Lo vemos con Álvaro Blasco, socio-director de atl Capital.

A lo largo de las últimas semanas, los analistas vienen advirtiendo de un descenso en las operaciones de insiders, que eso refleja una señal clara de cautela en los directivos corporativos. Hoy, Elon Musk de Tesla da un vuelco a esa situación al comprar en el mercado más de 2,5 millones de acciones de Tesla. Se ha gastado 1.000 millones de dólares. El título sube en preapertura más de un 7% y sirve al magnate para presumir de riqueza después de que la semana pasada Larry Ellison, fundador de Oracle, le superase en el ranking de mayores fortunas del planeta. Es una de las noticias del día. También que Donald Trump pida que las empresas dejen de publicar resultados trimestralmente. El presidente de Estados Unidos quiere que lo hagan dos veces al año para ahorrar dinero y permitir que los ejecutivos se concentren más en sus negocios. Las Bolsas suben en el inicio de una semana en la que la decisión de tipos de la Reserva Federal va a concentrar la atención. Analizamos el mercado con Nicolás López, de Singular Bank. En Bolsa española, y dentro del Ibex 35, Indra, Puig e IAG lideran las ganancias. Caen Banco Sabadell, Aena y Telefónica.

El presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, ha anunciado la retirada de más de 53.000 pisos turísticos del registro único de arrendamientos. El Ministerio de Vivienda ha notificado a las plataformas digitales para que retiren los anuncios. Estos pisos, según ha dicho Sánchez, pasarán ahora al alquiler permanente, para la gente joven. Sevilla (2.289), Marbella (1.802), Barcelona (1.564) y Málaga (1.471) son las ciudades que tienen más registros revocados.Los aeropuertos de Aena en España recibieron en agosto 33,3 millones de pasajeros, un 3,8% más que en el mismo mes de 2024, además de registrar 262.001 operaciones (+3,1%). Madrid-Barajas fue el de mayor tráfico, seguido de Barcelona-El Prat y Palma de Mallorca.El sector turístico en España refuerza la movilidad interna y la formación para afrontar la falta de perfiles cualificados, según un estudio de Pluxee que revela que un 67% de las empresas impulsa la recolocación y un 79% la capacitación. Además, es el segundo sector que más ha ajustado salarios frente a la inflación, solo por detrás del farmacéutico.Vueling reforzará su programación de invierno en Santiago y Tenerife Norte para ocupar parte del millón de plazas que Ryanair recortará en España. La aerolínea del grupo IAG añadirá más de 160.000 asientos, alcanzando casi 1,5 millones de plazas, y ofrecerá la temporada de invierno más ambiciosa de su historia en la isla canaria.El Parlamento balear ha aprobado una proposición no de ley que pide al Ministerio de Transportes la cogestión de los aeropuertos de Aena en las islas entre los gobiernos autonómico y central. La iniciativa busca mejorar la gestión, las condiciones laborales y la sostenibilidad de estas infraestructuras.Ryanair ha advertido que podría recortar otro millón de plazas en sus vuelos a España el próximo verano si Aena no revierte la subida del 6,5% en las tasas aeroportuarias. La aerolínea ya anunció este mes una reducción similar para la temporada de invierno, acusando al gestor de monopolio.World2Meet (W2M) y Europamundo han sellado una alianza estratégica para reforzar la oferta de circuitos en España y Portugal mediante una Joint Business que operará bajo las marcas Kannak by Europamundo y Europamundo. La colaboración busca ampliar salidas garantizadas, incluir vuelos y opciones regionalizadas, y ofrecer programas adaptados a distintos segmentos, como el senior.

O processo de privatização da TAP entrou numa nova fase com regras que deixam claro que só gigantes da aviação podem liderar consórcios interessados.

Las acciones suben, se mantiene estable el dólar y caen rendimientos de los bonos tras datos de precios de producción en Estados Unidos. En tasa intermensual caenen agosto un 0,1%. Lo mismo la subyacente. La interanual es del 2,6% frente al 3,3 esperado. Lectura: el impacto de los aranceles en precios y márgenes empresariales parece, de momento, limitado. La referencia mantiene perspectivas de recortes de tipos. Por otro lado, la incertidumbre geopolítica eleva los precios del petróleo y mantien al oro cerca de máximos históricos. La tecnología brilla con Oracle. En Europa, el STOXX 600 sube un 0,3%. Protagonistas Inditex con resultados y Novo Nordisk con recortes de plantilla.

Las bolsas suben, con las crecientes expectativas de un recorte de tipos por parte de la Reserva Federal estadounidense contrarrestando la incertidumbre política en Francia tras el colapso del Gobierno. El índice europeo STOXX 600 gana un 0,15%, mientras que las acciones asiáticas sumaron un 0,9%. Las acciones francesas se apuntan un 0,4%, mientras que sus bonos están tranquilos. Esta hora estamos pendientes de revisiones en datos de creación de empleo en Estados Unidos. Nebius, CleanCore Solutions, Fox Corp, Wolfspeed y UnitedHealth son algunos de los valores protagonistas. Nos analiza el mercado José Francisco Ibáñez, de Tressis. En Bolsa española, Acerinox, Merlin Prop e IAG son los mejores en Ibex 35. Las mayores pérdidas están en Solaria, Indra y Grifols.

Hablamos de Rovi, IAG, Aena, Indra o Iberdrola con José Escudero, analista de Kau Markets y Zona Value.

Las bolsas europeas suben el miércoles, recuperándose de las fuertes pérdidas de la sesión anterior. Agradecen cierta estabilidad en la venta de bonos a largo plazo, mientras el mercado empieza a cotizar hoy datos de empleo en Estados Unidos. Aún así, la liquidación de bonos a largo plazo en todo el mundo ha situado hoy el coste de la deuda japonesa en máximos históricos.

Las acciones caen, el dólar se aprecia y oro toca nuevo pico histórico. Los rendimientos de los bonos europeos siguen al alza. El 30 años británico alcanza su retorno más alto desde 1998, el del francés se va a niveles de 2009 y el del alemán a máximos desde 2011. Hay creciente preocupación de los inversores ante el estado de las finanzas en los países de todo el mundo. Reino Unido y Francia siguen en el punto de mira. El primer ministro francés, François Bayrou, podría perder una moción de confianza la próxima semana por sus planes de recorte del gasto público, mientras que la ministra de Finanzas británica, Rachel Reeves, podría subir los impuestos para mantenerse en línea con sus objetivos fiscales. La libra esterlina se desploma. Los futuros sobre índices estadounidenses adelantan apertura a la baja. Después de ver Claves americanas tenemos análisis con José Basagoiti, de Trading Pro. Los peores valores del Ibex 35 están siendo IAG, Indra y Cellnex. Logista es el único en positivo.

La Comunidad Valenciana ha reconocido a 12 nuevas localidades como municipios turísticos en el primer semestre de 2025, alcanzando un total de 82 destinos con esta distinción.

The ASX200 slipped around half a percent despite briefly touching a third straight all-time high at the open, with more winners than losers overall but some heavyweight profit results dragging the index lower. Miners and healthcare stocks helped offset losses in financials and utilities, while standout movers included Tyro Payments after takeover interest, Evolution Mining on strong gold prices, and IAG on a big profit lift. On the downside, CBA tumbled after results, AGL swung to a loss, and Beach Energy fell on a broker downgrade. Investors are now watching tomorrow’s July jobs data for clues on the next RBA move.

Pepe Baynat, Director De Bolsas Y Futuros.com, analiza la situación actual de los mercados y analizamos el último dato de Estados Unidos: el viernes tuvimos el dato oficial de paro en Estados Unidos y las cifras fueron poco halagüeñas. Se han creado 73.000 empleos cuando el mercado esperaba unos 100.000. Las revisiones de los últimos meses han provocado que se cuentan 258.000 empleos menos. Todo ha provocado el despido de la comisaría de la Oficina de Estadísticas Laborales de Estados Unidos, Erika L. McEntarfer por parte de Donald Trump. “ “Hemos tenido señales bajistas con el paro pero podría ser el inicio de algo más fuerte”, asegura el analista. ¿Cómo está el mercado español? ¿Es buen momento para entrar en IAG? “IAG me parece un valor interesante pero no para entrar a cualquier precio”, nos confiesa el experto. El viernes conocimos sus resultados, donde la compañía superó las expectativas de los analistas al alcanzar un beneficio neto de 1.301 millones de euros, lo que representa un incremento del 43,8% respecto al mismo periodo del año anterior. También han crecido los ingresos, que ascendieron a 15.906 millones de euros, un aumento interanual del 8%. Este resultado se ha logrado gracias a un crecimiento del 2,7% en la facturación por asiento-kilómetro ofertado (AKO). ¿En qué compañías europeas puede poner el foco el mercado europeo? ¿Cuál es la situación de Ferrari? “Ferrari era un valor que estaba bastante bien pero se nos ha venido abajo, con mucha fuerza, con mucha fortaleza, y esto es peligroso”, asegura Pepe Baynat. Además, añade que “era uno de los valores de lujo que estaba aguantando bien, en la media de 200”. El problema, para él, es que el jueves perdió el punto que no tenía que perder, que es el nivel de los 394,7.

Entre un Zuckerberg qui promet une révolution avec les super-IA personnelles, un Sam Altman qui parle de « moment historique » avec GPT-5, et la Chine qui affiche sa puissance à la World AI Conference, la guerre des récits autour de l'intelligence artificielle bat son plein.

Welcome to a new episode of the EUVC podcast, where Andreas Munk Holm and Jeppe Høier explore the cutting edge of European venture capital. Today's guest is Nacho Tovar, who is the Group Innovation Director at IAG. IAG—the airline group behind British Airways, Iberia, and Vueling.Together, they unpack how one of the world's most complex legacy industries is retooling itself through deep tech, startup collaboration, and CVC-backed transformation—from synthetic fuels to quantum AI.This is the CVC playbook for aviation, straight from the cockpit.

In this episode, we speak with Etosha Cave, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer of Twelve, who shares how the carbon transformation company harnesses carbon dioxide from industrial waste streams to produce efuels. Twelve is one of the visionary companies featured in our new book Sustainability in the Air: Volume Two. You can learn more about the book and order a copy here.Cave discusses:Twelve's carbon transformation technology that mimics photosynthesis, taking CO2 from industrial emissions, air, and landfills, combining it with water and renewable electricity through metal catalysts to create jet fuel and other products.Strategic partnerships with airlines like Alaska Airlines and International Airlines Group (IAG) and tech companies like Microsoft, leveraging growing consumer demand for carbon-neutral travel solutions and the scalability advantages of power-to-liquids.Twelve's Moses Lake, Washington plant location choice, capitalising on abundant hydropower, state incentives, geographic proximity to partners, and the emerging cleantech hub.How the company navigates political risks around climate incentives by focusing on carbon management as a bipartisan issue that creates jobs and economic value.Cave also shares her vision for a future with completely closed carbon cycles and explains how Twelve aims to transform waste CO2 into the building blocks for everything from consumer products to aviation fuel.If you LOVED this episode, you'll also love the conversation we had with Nicholas Flanders, Co-Founder & CEO of Twelve, who discusses the crucial role of clean technology in addressing environmental challenges.

This week host Ciarán Hancock is joined by Willie Walsh, the director general of IATA, the Geneva-based representative group for the airline industry.Willie will be known to you as the Irish man who was a high-profile chief executive of both Aer Lingus and British Airways.He then became head of IAG, which is the parent group to both of those airlines plus some Spanish carriers, including Iberia.He's now in charge of IATA, with his contract set to run until 2027.You'll hear Willie talk about airline profits and whether air fares are likely to go up or down in the near term.He spoke about aviation's role in reducing harmful carbon emissions and the chances of a climate-friendly biofuel being developed for commercial use.He gives his view on why emerging markets such as India and burgeoning economies in Africa are entitled to grow their airline industries and passenger traffic as they become wealthier.He also expresses his frustrations with the inefficient way air traffic control is managed in Europe.And Willie explains why, in his view, Ireland has become something of a laughing stock on the international stage over the legal battles being fought around the Dublin Airport passenger cap. In his view, this is hindering growth here and jeopardising foreign direct investment. And the 63-year-old talks about his plans for retirement, which could include Italian wine.

In this episode, Peter breaks down a major announcement from Iagon, a decentralised cloud storage provider building on Cardano, which has seen its IAG token spike in price following news of a collaboration with CloudCourt and advisory support from the Ford Motor Company. The partnership explores a proof of concept aimed at storing sensitive legal data using decentralised infrastructure—a key use case for compliance-heavy industries.The solution being tested combines off-chain encrypted data storage with on-chain access control and audit trails, helping meet stringent data protection regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR. This hybrid design ensures data sovereignty (e.g. storing data within national borders), robust security, and long-term cost savings compared to traditional centralised solutions. The concept is particularly relevant for law firms and large corporates that need to manage vast volumes of confidential legal documents like depositions and trial transcripts.Peter explains that Ford's involvement—while in an advisory capacity—brings valuable enterprise-level perspective, especially given its extensive legal operations. This project not only validates Iagon's use of blockchain for regulated environments, but also marks a significant milestone for Cardano in attracting Fortune 50-level interest.To top it off, there's a teaser: a second Fortune 50 company may also be involved in the near future. Speculation points towards the healthcare sector, given the solution's alignment with HIPAA compliance needs.Overall, this collaboration signals the growing maturity of Cardano's enterprise utility, showcasing how decentralised storage and blockchain can be practically applied in sensitive, high-compliance sectors.

El debate alrededor de la inteligencia artificial se instala en las escuelas de diseño, animación y fotografía de París. De la productividad a la sensibilidad artística, la comunidad educativa busca respuestas y garantías en cuanto a las salidas profesionales. ChatGPT, Midjourney y Firefly son solo algunos de los muchos nombres comerciales de la inteligencia artificial generativa (IAG), una tecnología que se nutre de datos, textos e imágenes para entrenar sus algoritmos y, a su vez, producir nuevos contenidos escritos y audiovisuales. Aunque el origen de la IA generativa se remonta a varias décadas atrás, el desarrollo exponencial durante los últimos años explica el debate acerca de sus límites éticos, su impacto ecológico y la creciente preocupación por su falta de regulación. Y también sobre la banalización del arte y el trabajo creativo.“Es un insulto a la vía misma”, declaró Hayao Miyazaki, fundador del famoso estudio de animación Studio Ghibli, tras la ola de imágenes inspiradas en el estilo de sus películas creadas con inteligencia artificial. Una opinión compartida por un sector de los estudiantes que aspiran a trabajar en dicha industria.Foco en la propiedad intelectual“Es regurgitar un montón de imágenes hechas por artistas a los que no han pedido su consentimiento. No tiene sentido”, se queja Lianne, estudiante en cine de animación en la escuela de Gobelins París. "Es ilegal, no pagan por los derechos de autor, ¡es un robo!", añade su compañera Laura. Sin una delimitación clara, la cuestión de la autoría sigue siendo confusa.“Es algo cada vez más presente en nuestro día a día y creo que irá a más”, opina Louane, que también cursa cine de animación en Gobelins. Prefiere no pensar en la inteligencia artificial porque le produce cierto estrés, “pero es verdad que hay que tenerlo en cuenta”, admite. “Si hacemos una formación tan reconocida como ésta es para encontrar trabajo después. Si la IA nos lo quita, es estúpido hacerla”, concluye.El diseño gráfico, ¿en peligro?Difícil obviar la cuestión. Según el último Informe sobre el Futuro de los Empleos del Foro Económico Mundial, publicado en enero de 2025, la automatización que la IA trae consigo supondrá la destrucción de 92 millones de puestos de trabajo para 2030, mientras que creará otros 170 millones. Entre las profesiones con una rápida tendencia de declive, según este informe, está el diseño gráfico.“Una compañera de trabajo que no tenía estudios en este ámbito hizo un logo con ChatGPT y pensó que así ya podría ser grafista. Me lo dijo como si mi trabajo fuese un fraude", cuenta Axelle, estudiante de la escuela de diseño LISAA.Útil para ganar tiempoPero la IA no es perfecta. Como cualquier otra herramienta, para los que se sirven de ella como tal, es necesario utilizarla correctamente para obtener los resultados deseados. "Te hace ganar mucho tiempo, pero hay que saber hacer un prompt (la orden que se le da a la IA para que responda con un texto, imagen o vídeo, NDLR) y seleccionar las imágenes correctas. Siempre hará falta un director artístico que la supervise”, asegura Noémie, también de la escuela LISAA. “Tengo un bagaje suficiente como para poder encontrar un empleo. No puedes no usarla solo por tener miedo a que te quite el trabajo."Algunos la usan porque la ven como una herramienta, otros la rechazan por motivos éticos o ecológicos, pero el debate alrededor de la inteligencia artificial roza incluso lo filosófico. "Mientras no tengas demasiado apego a las herramientas y mantengas tu independencia y tus ideas, me parece bien", dice Tony, alumno de diseño gráfico y animación en la escuela ECV, aventurándose a hacer el paralelismo con la película “Her” (Spike Jonze, 2013), donde el personaje interpretado por Joaquín Phoenix se enamora de una inteligencia artificial.“En la escuela usamos la IA para generar storyboards que luego convertimos en secuencias de video.”. Para él, la utilidad está en la fase de preproducción de los proyectos, donde asegura que le permite avanzar mucho más rápido.Priorizar la creatividad y la sensibilidadEl grado de permisión e incorporación de la IAG en los programas educativos depende de cada escuela, de cada departamento y de cada docente. “Nosotros incorporamos la IA desde el primer año de la formación. Los alumnos aprenden técnicas de fotografía analógica y digital, pero también el tratamiento de sus fotos con inteligencia artificial”, explica Yann Philippe, enseñante de fotografía y vídeo en Gobelins."No sentimos que nuestro trabajo esté directamente amenazado por la IA y creemos que, con un buen uso e inteligencia, puede potenciar la creatividad de algunos alumnos”. Son sorprendentemente los que ingresan con amplios conocimientos de IA generativa los menos interesados en trabajar con ella y más con el formato analógico y los procesos tradicionales, a diferencia de quienes no la han utilizado aún. “De todas formas, las herramientas avanzan a tal velocidad que cuando terminamos de preparar los cursos, ya están obsoletas."“Hice el curso de Midjourney de Gobelins, pero me interesa más la autenticidad”, confiesa Axel, alumno de fotografía, con su cámara Leica analógica colgada del hombro. “Con IA o sin IA, lo importante es la motivación y la sensibilidad que cada artista pone en sus proyectos.” Este precisamente lo que Yann Philippe busca desarrollar porque considera que “es ahí donde está su valor añadido”.La inteligencia artificial generativa avanza más rápido que el ritmo al que se da respuesta a las dudas y preguntas que ésta plantea, y se exige un marco normativo a la altura de los retos que conlleva. La Ley de Inteligencia Artificial de la Unión Europea, en vigor desde el 1 de agosto de 2024, es un primer paso, pero no parece suficiente. En el ámbito educativo, la UNESCO ha realizado una llamada urgente a los gobiernos de todo el mundo para que la regulen de manera eficaz.
