Plentific is hosting a webinar focusing on leadership in social housing with a panel of industry experts discussing the next era of innovation, collaboration and accountability.
The Future of Social Housing — What’s Next for Leadership webinar will be Chaired by UK housing expert and award-winning writer and journalist Peter Apps, with a panel including Gavin Smart, CEO of the Chartered Institute of Housing, Leann Hearne, Board Member at Notting Hill Genesis and the Northern Housing Consortium, Nick Atkin, CEO of Yorkshire Housing and Cem Savas, CEO of Plentific.
Topics the panel will discuss include what makes a strong leader in social housing, do housing providers have clarity on their purpose and how can housing associations get on top of their data challenges, using automations and AI in a way which will add value to residents.
The webinar will take place on Tuesday 18th November, which is particularly timely with the implementation of the first Phase of Awaab’s Law at the end of last month.
Technology leader Plentific launched its Four Forces Framework Report at the Housing Community Summit in Liverpool, utilising its expertise to identify the interconnected dynamics which need to be balanced, together shaping the UK housing sector’s operating climate.
These include Investment Capacity: setting the limits of financial capabilities, Governance: defining the standards and accountabilities providers must meet, Organisational Capability: determining how well landlords can translate ambition into delivery and Systems & Intelligence: reflecting how effectively providers use data, automation, AI and orchestration to stay in control.
Cem Savas said: “The social housing sector is standing at a crossroads. We’re seeing record investment, new regulation and rapid technological change — but success won’t come from focusing on one of these areas alone.
“At Plentific, we’ve identified Four Forces that must work in balance to create real, lasting impact. When these forces align, we can lead confidently to build safe, decent homes and stronger, more resilient organisations.
“I’m excited to be joining an outstanding panel to explore these themes and discuss what’s next for leadership in our sector.
“It’s shaping up to be a brilliant session — full of insight, experience and ideas on how we can collectively shape the future of social housing.”
Nick Atkin added: “Reliable, real-time data is the core ingredient of a great service. Together with AI, this is helping us to move from reacting to problems to anticipating them. By using predictive analytics and sensors, we can target resources where they deliver the most customer impact and consistently high standards.”
