LISTEN The unexpected happened this year. The world shut down. Physical human interaction stopped and we had to go digital.
Digital transformation was already taking place in the built environment, but it was largely being led by the innovators. Since March, everyone has had to innovate and digitise, and has had to do so at speed or face the consequences.
In the first of four special EG Property Podcasts looking at the lessons learnt from the forced changes we have all had to make during the coronavirus pandemic, EG editor Samantha McClary chats to Max Bengtsson, head of marketing at LandTech, Beth McArdle, a partner at Shoosmiths, and Sophy Moffat, head of research at Cluttons, about how adoption of tech and adaptation to a digital world has shaped not just property but people too.
During the 30-minute conversation, they highlight the key lessons that real estate has taken from the pandemic, discuss some of the lessons they think it might – but hope it won’t – forget and do their very best to deliver some “happily ever afters” for this particular tale of the unexpected.
