The existing product and services landscape for both consumers and professionals is fragmented and disparate - littered with 'one trick pony' products which often create more problems than they solve. The result is poor experiences, high complexity and high costs. It is our view that the forward movement of real estate will be driven by integrated, end-to-end solutions.
There has been a gradual 'build-up' of economic pressure across the value chain, driven by multiple forces, which will ultimately drive increasing digitisation of services, value and transactions affecting consumers through to professionals and institutions.
New product and business model innovation - enabled by emerging digital and data smarts - will be required to ensure that digital transformation can be achieved sustainably, while creating unique opportunities for growth for those who embrace technology.
