„Es ist einfacher, eine gute Idee zu haben, als eine Idee wirklich zum Fliegen zu bringen.“ Mit diesem Satz eröffnet Alexandre Grellier, CEO von Drooms, ein Gespräch, in dem es nicht um Start-up-Romantik und Digitalisierung um ihrer selbst willen geht. Sondern um die Frage, welche Technologien in der Immobilienbranche tatsächlich Probleme lösen und wofür der Markt, gerade in einer angespannten Phase, bereit ist zu zahlen. Nicht jedes PropTech ist ein Start-up. Und nicht jedes Start-up mit Immobilienbezug ist ein PropTech. Diese begriffliche Unschärfe verdeckt, laut Alex, oft den Kern: Wirtschaftlichkeit, belastbare Geschäftsmodelle und Lösungen, die im Alltag funktionieren. Der Erwartung, komplexe Probleme ließen sich per Plug-and-Play lösen, begegnet er klar: „Das ist naiv.“ Ein zentrales Thema ist die Finanzierung. Alex beschreibt sie mit dem Bild des Lemming-Prinzips: Einer geht voran, nimmt Geld in die Hand, andere folgen. Lange funktionierte das. Sein Gegenmodell orientiert sich an der schwäbischen Hausfrau: ein präziser Blick auf Kosten, Cashflow und reale Tragfähigkeit. Wachstum ja, aber nicht um jeden Preis. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Expansion unter diesen Voraussetzungen dennoch gelingt. Über zweistellige Zuwächse von Drooms beispielsweise in Frankreich und Deutschland. Über Unterschiede zwischen europäischen Märkten. Über die USA, vor denen Alex keine Scheu hat. Und darüber, warum Deutschland nicht so schwarz ist, wie es derzeit oft gezeichnet wird. Am Ende geht es um ESG, um Vertrauen in Technologie und um die Erkenntnis, dass die Immobilienbranche hier noch Luft nach oben hat. Der prägnanteste Satz des Gesprächs bringt es auf den Punkt: Man muss nicht gleich das Unternehmen kaufen, das einem Software anbietet. Schließlich kommt auch niemand auf die Idee, Microsoft zu kaufen.

The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview In this episode of Listing Bits, Greg Robertson sits down with Marcus Brown, founder of MLS Pipeline. Marcus shares his path from real estate agent to solo software founder, discussing how frustrations with lead generation, CMAs, and manual marketing workflows led him to build a Canva-based MLS data integration. The conversation covers MLS sales cycles, member-benefit products, and why automation and design flexibility matter for agents today.  Key Takeaways Marcus Brown transitioned from working auctions and traditional real estate sales into building real estate software.  Partial "home value" leads often converted better than fully submitted leads when followed up with hand-delivered CMAs.  MLS Pipeline connects MLS data directly into Canva, eliminating copy/paste and manual data entry.  The product is designed as an MLS member benefit rather than a direct-to-agent SaaS.  MetroList is the first MLS to officially launch MLS Pipeline on its dashboard.  Links Contact Marcus Brown: marcus@mlspipeline.com Phone: 208-340-9600 Sponsors Aligned Showings — MLS-owned showing software built to simplify scheduling, improve communication, and keep MLS data where it belongs.

MARC, a Dublin-based AI company, is changing how large real estate portfolios manage contract and expense data. Backed by investors including Jack Pierse (Wayflyer), Susan Spence (SoftCo), Tom Kennedy (Hostelworld), and more, founder Aaron Devitt built MARC to reinvent how critical asset management data is managed at scale. Since launching in 2024, MARC has scaled from 40-unit Irish property managers to 25,000-unit US-based owners. After seeing firsthand how poor property management practices affected renters and asset managers, then 22-year-old Devitt deferred from college to build proptech startup, Marc to serve as the contract-to-invoice truth layer for the property industry. MARC's AI agents turn buried vendor contracts into structured, live operational data, cutting work that typically takes 2-3 months down to a matter of seconds. Large property portfolios can involve thousands of vendor contracts covering services, licenses, and certifications. Critical details such as renewal dates, termination rights, escalation clauses, and fee structures are often scattered across inboxes, shared drives, and legacy systems, making budgeting, routine audits, asset sales and invoice comparison reviews slow and error-prone. MARC builds AI Contract Agents that locate, uncover, read, and structure every contract across fragmented organisations. MARC addresses this by deploying AI agents that plug directly into existing document stores, including email inboxes and SharePoint. The system automatically locates contracts, extracts key terms, and organises them into a live source of truth that teams can query instantly, enabling asset management teams to operate 200 times faster than humans. MARC also compares historically buried contract terms against monthly invoices, helping institutional operators identify discrepancies and over billings before they impact net operating income (NOI). Since launching in 2024, MARC has grown from serving local Irish property managers to working with institutional owners managing 5,000–35,000 units across the U.S. and Canada. Its customers now represent more than $80 billion in assets under management. After securing some of Ireland's largest property managers as customers, including Sherry Fitzgerald Lettings and DNG Lettings, in 2025, the MARC team began to serve institutional real estate owners across North America. The company now works with multiple operators managing between 5,000 and 30,000 residential units across more than 20 U.S. states. Today, MARC's customers represent a combined assets-under-management (AUM) figure of over $75 billion. "When you manage thousands of units, contract data directly affects asset values, but most teams can't access that data quickly or reliably," said Aaron Devitt, Founder and CEO of MARC. "On top of this, the relationship between the Accounts Payable (AP) systems and Contract Management Systems (CMS) have been historically disconnected, causing marginal and continuous over billing at scale. To the tune of many millions of dollars for larger residential portfolios." "This is why we built MARC, the connective layer between the CMS and the AP systems, ensuring every portfolio contract is accurate, up-to-date and being billed for accordingly, without thousands of human hours required to find, vet, and verify thousands of contracts." MARC has raised a $1 million pre-seed round from 23 angel investors, with no venture capital participation. Backers include Jack Pierse (Wayflyer), Tom Kennedy (Hostelworld), Susan Spence (SoftCo), Eoghan Quigley (Dublin Chamber of Commerce), and James McGann (Unmind), alongside multiple institutional real estate investors and U.S.-based multifamily executives. The funding is being deployed to advance the product and drive expansion into the North American market. "Backing founders like Aaron is how we continue to build Ireland's next generation of global technology companies," said Jack Pierse, co-founder of Wayflyer. "MARC is tackling a ...

This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Poonam Sharma. The two talk about Poonam's journey from growing up around construction sites as the daughter of Indian immigrants to founding and successfully exiting Stealth Force, a gig economy commercial real estate company. In this episode, we discuss: How Poonam's childhood, tagging along on construction sites with her Indian immigrant dad and watching her parents launch (and sometimes crash) businesses like restaurants and hotels, pulled her into real estate and sparked her entrepreneurial fire. What pushed her from dev/private equity to tech: spotting gaps, channeling family hustle, and building Stealth Force (small exit, big win), then eyeing NYC co-working with onsite childcare—right as lockdown hit at 8 months pregnant. When old family stories, like being "ladylike," fearing the evil eye, or grandma's turkey trick, quietly shape our choices, and how midlife is prime time to unpack them and choose what actually fits now. Why everyone (CEOs to in-laws) is secretly fragile—be gentler, drop the personal grudges—and her leadership hack: "If it won't matter in seven years, it doesn't matter now." What peace looks like post-pivots: Board gigs, family deals, surprise coaching (releasing mental blocks for high-achievers), and savoring kid time—no more compartments, just one integrated, wrinkle-loving self. Poonam Sharma is a board member, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, real estate industry veteran, novelist and recognized PropTech leader with a passion for innovating around the built world. A public and private board member, published author and public speaker, she has sat on the board of Hennessy Capital VII and Fifth Wall Acquisition Corp III to name a few, and previously headed Arden Digital Ventures, a technology-focused investment arm of The Arden Group, a storied real estate investment fund. Previously CEO of Raise (which aimed to revolutionize childcare for the future of work), and Founder of StealthForce (the gig economy of real estate; a resource and project management platform for CRE, which was exited in early 2019), she was an early voice in proptech, bringing years of institutional real estate experience to the innovation movement. Prior to StealthForce, she was Deputy to the Head of Global Real Estate Asset Management at Partners Group AG ($40 bn AUM), VP at a developer of senior housing and hotels, and earlier employee 13 at The Gerson Lehrman Group, which was the world's first institutional expert network. Poonam earned her BA at Harvard and MBA at Wharton, and spent over a decade in real estate development and investment. Twice named a top female CEO in CREtech, she has been featured in The New York Times, Inc. Magazine, Harvard Business Review, NBC News, and more. As an author and experienced public speaker (ULI, ICSC, CRETech, etc.) she has published four books including two novels in five languages which have been printed worldwide.

Is AI the property market's silver bullet or just another shiny distraction? Oli Sherlock from Goodlord cuts through the hype, exploring how agents should assess tech, prioritise customer readiness, and focus on real solutions rather than flashy features or empty promises.

The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Julie Drazen, founder of Editora, to talk about her background in film and commercial editing and how that experience led to building a fast, opinionated video-editing platform for real estate agents. Julie explains how Editora uses AI as a behind-the-scenes tool (not a replacement for craft), why simplicity and taste matter in listing videos, and how the product is designed to save agents time while keeping branding consistent across brokerages.  Key Takeaways Julie's career in commercial editing and documentary filmmaking shaped Editora's focus on storytelling, pacing, and taste. Editora automates listing videos from professional photos, handling shot selection, order, scripts, and voiceover with AI assistance. The platform prioritizes simplicity: fewer choices, consistent branding, and no flashy transitions or gimmicks. Agents can create videos quickly on desktop or mobile, including status updates like "just listed," "under contract," and "sold." Pricing tiers launch February 1, with a free first listing video and scalable options for solo agents, teams, and brokerages.

Vendre plus vite et payer moins de commissions : c'est la promesse de Homki. Eric Elbaze décrypte ce modèle à honoraires fixes, dans un marché immobilier français sous tension, au micro d'Ariane Artinian.Eric Elbaze est l'invité de ce nouvel épisode de Mon Podcast Immo. Au micro d'Ariane Artinian, le cofondateur de Homki revient sur un modèle qui a fait le pari des honoraires fixes pour transformer la transaction immobilière en France.Créé en 2018 à Marseille, Homki est aujourd'hui présent dans plus de 600 villes, Paris compris. Son principe : mettre fin aux commissions proportionnelles de 5 à 6 % pour proposer des honoraires fixes à partir de 4 900 euros. Résultat : des biens affichés au juste prix, des ventes plus rapides et un net vendeur préservé dans un marché immobilier toujours tendu.« Il devenait impossible de rajouter 30 000 euros de commission sur un bien à 600 000 euros », explique Eric Elbaze. Avec près de 7 000 transactions réalisées et un modèle rentable depuis 2023, Homki prouve que la proptech peut aussi être durable.Derrière le digital, l'humain reste central. « La tech doit être au service de l'expertise terrain », insiste-t-il, rappelant l'importance des agents locaux expérimentés, libérés de la prospection et concentrés sur l'accompagnement des clients.Dans un contexte de stabilisation du marché en 2025-2026, Eric Elbaze se dit confiant : les vendeurs comme les acquéreurs exigent désormais transparence, efficacité et qualité de service.Animé par Ariane Artinian, journaliste et fondatrice du média MySweetImmo

Remember the Google demo several years ago where an AI scheduled a hair appointment? That wasn't science fiction; it was a sneak peek into today.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I'm unpacking what may just be the biggest game-changer in property management since the lease itself: agents serving agents. Not just leasing agents, but intelligent proxies doing business for residents, based on their digital behavior and preferences.Google's new Personalized Intelligence gives its AI the ability to sift through your Gmail, YouTube history, and more. Why? To anticipate your needs and take action before you even say a word.Now imagine this in Multifamily: Your future resident's AI is already shopping apartments based on their emails, watching your videos, syncing with their lifestyle, while your leasing agent's AI is already responding. That's agent-to-agent commerce.This isn't a someday conversation.

Can technology truly replace the warmth of human connection in collections?Here's the truth: automation can't carry compassion. But you can blend both for better outcomes.Today's Multifamily Operations Tip of the Day unpacks a tension we're all feeling: How do you automate rent collections without turning cold and robotic?Automation is brilliant for reminders, logs, and consistency, but it still requires human empathy. This episode explores how leaders can use PropTech tools like Elise AI (no sponsorships here, just a good example) while still empowering teams to apply discretion where it counts. Collections are emotional. Context matters. And sometimes, only a human voice will do.Technology should support your people, not replace them. Not yet. The best approach is a hybrid one: let the tech do the grunt work, but reserve judgment and empathy for your on-site teams.If you believe PropTech should enhance, not replace, humanity in property operations, subscribe to the channel and share your own tips in the comments below.Blog: https://www.multifamilycollective.comBook: https://amzn.to/3YI6BDaSupport comes from: https://www.365connect.com/?utm_campaign=mmnHosted by: https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.comPlus: why in-person events like RETCON https://retconference.com/ matter more now than ever.Multifamily, Property Management, Rent Collections, PropTech, Automation, Resident Experience, Empathy in Leadership, Property Operations, Elise AI, Multifamily Technology, Leadership in Multifamily, Human Touch in Tech#Multifamily #PropTech #PropertyManagement #Leadership #ResidentExperience #RentCollections #AutomationWithEmpathy #EliseAI #MultifamilyLeadership #PropertyOperationsmikebrewer #multifamilycollective #multifamilymentoring #multifamilycoaching #multifamilypodcast #leadership #OpenAi #multifamilymedianetwork

I guarantee you've dealt with pests in multifamily at some point — but you've probably never thought about how broken the system really is.In this video, Mike Brewer sit down with Landon Cooley, fourth‑generation pest‑control pro and co‑founder of Pest Share, to unravel why pests aren't just a headache — they're a silent drag on occupancy, retention, and ultimately NOI. We walk through how traditional pest control in multifamily is fragmented, reactive, and often ignored until it becomes a crisis. Then we shift to the future: a tech‑enabled, centralized PropTech solution that puts control in the hands of residents and property managers — turning pest control from liability to amenity.If you manage multifamily properties or invest in real estate, this could dramatically change how you think about maintenance, retention, and resident satisfaction.If you care about reducing turnover and protecting NOI, make sure you subscribe — because this is one of those conversations you don't want to miss.Pest Share is a tech-driven platform founded in 2019 that modernizes pest control for the rental housing market, allowing property managers to automate service requests through integrations with their systems and offering residents easy, on-demand access to vetted national pest control providers. Co-founded by CEO Landon Cooley and brothers Justin and Tom Clements, who have deep industry experience, Pest Share aims to solve the administrative burden of pest control for managers while creating recurring revenue streams and improving resident satisfaction.

In this episode, I'm joined by Lawrence Williamson from Avenue Bank, a PropTech with a banking license. And a warning to listeners, this is a seriously geeky episode where we dive deep into the world of bank guarantees, a critical but often overlooked financial instrument in commercial property. Lawrence explains how Avenue Bank has disrupted this decades-old, paper-based process by digitizing it, allowing customers to get a cash-backed bank guarantee in under 24 hours. And if you're not into commercial proptech, this is where the gold is for startup listeners because its a great case study for being inch wide, and mile deep. We discuss the challenges of innovating in such a traditional space, including the industry's preference for physical documents and the "muscle memory anxiety" around the claims process. Lawrence shares some exciting insights into Avenue Bank's journey, from its humble beginnings to its recent win at the PropTech Awards, and gives us a peek into their future plans.

Let's kick off 2026 with a little counterintuitive wisdom from yours truly.We all chase full occupancy like it's the Holy Grail. But here's the truth: 100% occupancy can quietly sabotage your bottom line.In today's episode of the Multifamily Collective, I share the very first Tip of the Day—a new series aimed at sharpening your edge in the multifamily space.I unpack why aiming for full occupancy can be a dangerous trap. Think: overuse of concessions, lowering screening standards, and stacking your rent roll with short-term leases that churn like bad yogurt. It's happening in Boston right now. I've seen it play out too many times to ignore.The real win? Healthy rent rolls. Resident retention. Balanced occupancy with market-driven rent growth.If you're in multifamily leadership, PropTech innovation, or just trying to keep your portfolio thriving—this one's for you.Plus, hear what our friend Mark Sharp is cooking up with the Multifamily Mixtape in 2026.

Send us a textThis episode brings together commercial real estate, construction, and capital markets leaders to unpack what truly drove success in 2025—and where the smartest opportunities lie in 2026. The panel explains why consistent relationship-building and disciplined preparation outperformed attempts to time a volatile market, sharing concrete tactics for client retention, referral flywheels, and turning every contact into multiple lines of business. They then shift to a sector-by-sector outlook, covering construction backlogs, public infrastructure pipelines, rising non‑residential spend, and how sidelined capital is now moving into industrial, data centers, multifamily, and more.The conversation dives into the new AI and marketing paradigm, showing how to use AI as a “day one intern” for execution and bidding while protecting authentic brand voice and trust with clients. Finally, the guests spotlight off‑site and prefabricated construction as a maturing, cost‑competitive methodology that can cut timelines, improve safety, and reshape labor and training. Listeners walk away with practical, 2026-ready strategies: use AI to buy back time, invest it in relationships, and stay ahead of emerging methods like prefab that are quietly redefining project delivery.ABOUT OUR HOSTS: Andreas Senie, Host, Founder CRECollaborative (CRECo.ai), Technology Growth Strategist, CRETech Thought Leader, & Brokerage OwnerChris Abel, Vice President Associated Builders and Contractors of Connecticut, Board Member SMPS—Society for Marketing Professional Services CTRebekah Carlson, Founder & CEO Carlson Integrated, LLC, Past President NICAR Association, Brokerage OwnerABOUT: CRECo.ai Presents: The Real Estate Roundtable — the podcast where innovation meets expertise.

Send us a textKicking off the new year with a listener favorite.In this replay episode of the Anewgo of New Home Sales Podcast, we revisit one of our most downloaded conversations-our deep dive into the iBuyer model with leaders from Offerpad.Recorded during a pivotal moment for PropTech, this episode breaks down how OfferPad reimagined the way homeowners buy and sell, especially for new construction buyers juggling contingencies, timing, and uncertainty. You'll hear how their iBuyer program works, why local market expertise and human decision-making matter just as much as technology, and how builders and real estate agents can leverage iBuyers as a strategic tool (not a threat).With the housing market evolving rapidly since this episode first aired, this replay offers valuable perspective on:The rise (and recalibration) of the iBuyer modelHow certainty and convenience impact new home salesWhy partnerships between builders, agents, and iBuyers still matterLessons that remain relevant no matter the market cycleWhether you're revisiting this episode or hearing it for the first time, it's a timely reminder that innovation in real estate isn't just about algorithms, it's about solving real problems for real buyers and sellers.Happy New Year, and enjoy this throwback conversation.

What if I told you your property's Wi-Fi could make or break your lease renewals?In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I sit down with industry thought leader  @DomBeveridge  from https://20for20.com/ to unpack his latest whitepaper - [ https://lp.20for20.com/25-wp-wifi-sentiment-analysis?_gl=1*1ry3ptb*_ga*MTYwMTUzMzY1LjE3NjQxNjQ2OTM.*_ga_53YQRXE0K2*czE3NjU5MDAyMjYkbzMkZzEkdDE3NjU5MDAzMTAkajU3JGwwJGgw. ]Dom shares real, actionable insights from AI-driven sentiment analysis of over 30,000 resident interactions.Here's the punchline: there's a measurable link between poor Wi-Fi and resident churn. And not just mild dissatisfaction. We're talking 83% churn likelihood when outages become routine.But that's just the beginning.Dom walks us through how this study breaks from the traditional (and frankly, flawed) survey model (this was my favorite part of the interview!). He explains how new AI tools like ResiDesk are changing how we understand the resident experience by listening to what residents actually say, rather than boxing them into 1-to-10 scales.We cover:Why frequent Wi-Fi outages are a churn triggerThe fatal flaws of traditional surveysThe power of open-ended AI conversationsHow regulation is getting Wi-Fi all wrongAnd what owners/operators should do right nowIf you're a developer, owner, asset manager, or just someone trying to stay ahead of the PropTech curve, this episode is a must.The future of personalized service in Multifamily will be about letting AI show you what your residents already feel.If you found value in this conversation, hit that like button, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Let's get real—SEO isn't dead. But it is getting eaten for breakfast by something new: GEO—Generated Engine Optimization.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, we break down the growing tension between traditional SEO and the rise of AI-driven search tools. As large language models (LLMs) become the starting point for more apartment searches, the rules are shifting fast. Real fast.I'm talking about a world where people don't hit Google first—they start with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok. And suddenly your slick website copy, metadata, and keyword strategy aren't enough. Now you have to teach the machines what you do. In plain, punchy, authoritative language.So... is your multifamily brand prepared for this shift?Let's dig into why your copy needs to sound like a conversation, not a cold brochure—and how GEO may be the new frontier for property management companies and PropTech platforms alike.Got thoughts on the SEO vs GEO debate?

Ever stumble on something and think, "Wait... is this the next big thing?"That's what happened to me when I came across a website for RIOO—a new player in the property management software game. Think Yardi, Entrata, or RealPage... but with a twist.Here's the kicker: They've embedded direct links to AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok—right on their homepage. One click, and you're looking at an AI-generated synopsis of their entire platform.Why does that matter for us in Multifamily?Could this be the beginning of SEO being influenced not just by keywords, but by how well your site plays with large language models (LLMs)? Could these embedded AI prompts actually push your PropTech product or property management system higher in search results—or even make it the default suggestion in an AI chat?I don't know yet. But I'm curious.And I think we all should be.What's your take?

Antony Slumbers is a global keynote speaker on AI in real estate and pioneering voice behind 'Space as a Service.' He explores how different tiers of office buildings are evolving to meet human- and task-centric work needs. Drawing on deep experience as a Proptech entrepreneur, Antony discusses how AI and digital tools are transforming static real estate assets into dynamic environments supporting workers cognitive capacity, productivity, and wellbeing. He shares how shifting real estate models—from bonds to service-based businesses—is essential to attract people back to the office, enhance productivity, and support hybrid and flexible work strategies.     TAKEAWAYS   Chapter 1 - From Art to Real Estate Innovation   [01:26] Antony studies history and art history which sharpens his eye for aesthetics. [02:01] Antony starts work at an art gallery then enters real estate unexpectedly through an client. [03:27] An epiphany that the internet has great potential for real estate coordination. [03:57] Antony starts coding then build a web agency focused on serving commercial real estate. [04:56] A partnership with British Land to develop digital property management tools. Chapter 2 - Reframing Real Estate: Space as a Service   [06:01] Antony coins "Space as a Service" to reframe office thinking and real estate mindsets. [06:56] Real estate starts shifting from bond-based investments to human experience businesses. [08:26] Buildings must support focus, collaboration, and task-based work types. [09:13] Pure Adam Smith - productivity depends on environments that support individual output.   [10:30] Office buildings must attract people. They have purpose, but they're no longer needed. [12:30] Hybrid working existed pre-COVID, but the pandemic proved remote work works.   [13:20] Most corporations continue to mismanage hybrid work having had years to improve. [13:51] Only top-tier offices and flex space providers now fit workers needs and desires. [14:40] A significant portion of office spaces today are functionally obsolete. [16:23] Flex offices fit needs well but are expensive to operate based on high expectations.   Chapter 3 - Technology, AI, and Smart Environments   [17:40] Predictive AI can be used at once but needs much data, now possible within building environments. [19:22] Generative AI is a thinking partner to enhance any language, code and audio task. [21:04] Antony's six PropTech pillars include sustainability, wellbeing, technology and flexibility. [24:45] Smart buildings must adjust to maintain cognitive performance levels. [25:40] Top tier offices will start guaranteeing environmental conditions to support performance.   [27:16] AI enables mass personalization based on user behaviour patterns. [28:13] Next step: buildings respond to what users plan to do. [29:58] Trust is critical for personalized data-driven space services. [32:19] Personas help anonymise data for tailored building experiences. [32:36] Antony disagrees with surveillance and advocates for trust-based data sharing. Chapter 4 - Connection, Community, and Purposeful Space   [34:09] Individual top-tier buildings will draw tenants by enabling industry-specific performance. [34:56] Buildings as a connector, matchmaking tenants for networking and collaboration. [36:19] AI can suggest connections through apps or curated events such as lunch and learns. [40:51] Construction City example shows design drives chance interactions and community. Chapter 5 - Workforce Strategy and AI Readiness   [42:49] Many employers aren't honest about why they are using AI and the workforce impact. [43:42] Fewer people may be needed as each person become much more productive with AI. [44:10] Companies must redeploy talent instead of cutting staff. [45:45] Some use AI to grow; others shrink workforce. [48:11] Small firms can become agile with AI-powered super teams. [50:22] AI fluency matters—employees not engaging with AI risk falling behind. [52:01] Everyone must upskill individually to stay competitive. IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Gather data and talent inputs to analyse and discover how your offices can be designed to actively support your teams' office-based work.       RESOURCES   Antony Slumbers on LinkedIn Antony's website        QUOTES   "You've got to make a building that people really, really want to go to because they don't need it anymore."   "Generative AI is really good for mass personalization because it can understand data and break it down at a very granular level."   "Real estate was going to move from being about a bond to a business."   "Health and wellbeing doesn't just happen in a building. You are controlling the environmental conditions in which someone works."   "You are paying someone a hell of a lot of money to be there, so if their cognitive capabilities are downgraded 10%, you are actually costing yourself money."   "We will start to get to that base level—perfect conditions for whatever it is you need to do at the time."
