Business Learning Programme
2018/19
Here at HouseMark, we pride ourselves on providing tailor-made opportunities to enable our
customers to build even better businesses. One of the ways we do this is through a range of
innovation and learning programmes.

Our Asset Management Business Learning Programme takes the learning from previous
successful study visits, experiential learning events and other initiatives to create a
programme of rich content, inspiring visits and exclusive behind-the-scenes access to some
of the most exciting businesses around now.

Working with both in and out of sector organisations, this programme has been made with the
housing sector in mind, exploring relevant and timely topics such as logistics, productivity,
innovation, culture, technology, transformation and much more!

Balancing best practice, discussion, debate and networking, this programme will provide a
place to take valuable time out to think differently, experience new ideas and get together
with peers, uncovering opportunities for you to effect transformational change and innovation
in your organisation.

Programme overview

The programme will seek to explore:

  •      How to apply a commercial approach to service design and delivery
  •      Approaches to effectively managing field workforce
  •      Getting the logistics right first time, every time
  •      Using systems, processes and new technology effectively to drive productivity
  •      Customer service, experience and the customer journey
  •      Leadership and culture
  •      How to develop more resourcefulness and greater self-reliance

You’ll have exclusive behind-the-scenes visits to three transformative commercial
organisations and a housing provider operating a dynamic in-house asset management
service.
