Unlocking value in data: it’s what you do with it that counts

LISTEN: In this episode of the EG Property Podcast EG editor Samantha McClary is talking all things data. She sits down with Thalia Baldwin, chief executive of the Geospatial Commission and Alex Notay, who as well as being placemaking and investment director at PfP Capital is a non-executive independent commissioner at the Geospatial Commission, to delve at little deeper into their recent Building Better Decision Making report. The report calls for greater use of location data in the real estate sector to unlock innovation and enable the industry to function better, more efficiently and more effectively. But greater use alone is not enough. Collaboration across public and private sectors, a wider lens on the types of data that might be useful for better decision making and an understanding that just collecting it isn’t enough – it’s what you do with it that counts – form part of the asks during this 35-minute conversation. Whether you’re a data nerd or someone who just wants to build a better place, this listen will have something for you.
