Why have a digital strategy?
The operating environment in social housing is changing fast with increased demands for transparency and confidence in your data, particularly about the quality of homes.
You know you have been challenged to find a solution, but you also recognise that you can’t fix it in isolation and you need your senior team to be aligned behind a single vision before you can move forward. Sound familiar?
With decades of experience in the housing sector, this is a scenario we come across a lot. Often senior managers are tasked to make decisions on a direction of travel because they lead a team where it’s perceived the challenge should sit, with sometimes very little consideration about the ripple of impact that decision could have.
How a digital strategy can help social housing organisations
A digital strategy helps your senior team to efficiently agree on a vision and direction of travel to resolve a single challenge, so that you can move into implementation with business-wide buy-in.
Perhaps you already have a digital strategy… but it’s not really working for you. We can review your existing strategy and develop it into something far more useful for you and your stakeholders.
In our tried and tested process of digital strategy development, we act as an unbiased critical friend, using our years of experience to help you explore new opportunities, innovations and ways of thinking that would work, specifically for your organisation. Our skilled advisors provide structure and space to explore views and options, skilfully navigating your senior team to a place of collective agreement.
