Current Issues, Ideas & Opportunities in Estate Agency

In this session, Peter facilitates discussion among group members to work on the issues, ideas and opportunities that they face today. Peter uses a methodology developed by Property Academy that is proven to provide participants with:

  • access to the best business minds to help solve their issues;
  • a different perspective to provide alternative options and enable better decision-making;
  • the benefit of the experience, ideas and recommendations of other business owners in the same industry sector;
  • practical solutions that have been proven to work in other businesses

This is a working session where we’ll tackle real business issues using our proprietary issue processing formula, to tap into the knowledge of the room generating new perspectives, ideas and solutions.

Peter is former Managing Director of Foxtons and CEO of Marsh & Parsons, which he sold for a record multiple. His leadership strength lies in his ability to unite teams behind a common goal. In addition to chairing Property Academy Meetings and coaching agency owners, he is also an NED for Foxtons, advisor to Inventure Recruitment LLC, a US-based recruitment firm; non-exec at Sherry FitzGerald, the agency that helped him buy and expand Marsh & Parsons and an Investor in Viewber, the outsourced property viewings company.

Maximising Opportunity Through Environment

Environment expert Professor Stephen Heppell discusses optimum settings for learning and work environments to encourage engagement and how asking your team 'how can we do this better?', can lead to some exciting and innovative ideas in the business. As Stephen says, "the environment really matters because it's not a given, it's a question". So, how can we measure our environments so they perform better and our employees thrive?

Professor Stephen Heppell has been a professor since the 1980s, he has an unrivalled track record of success and a string of huge projects in both Learning and Technology. He is credited with being the person who put the C into ICT. His support for better Learning is sought by everyone from governments and major corporations, through schools and universities, to elite sports - lately England Rugby, and Team GB's elite Olympic coaches.

Everyone needs better learning. A pioneer of multimedia and CD-ROM before the Internet, post-internet Professor Heppell created and led what was the Guinness Book of Record's largest internet learning project, years before Google, Facebook et al. He has been, and continues to be, at the heart of many world leading projects since. Professor Heppell’s learning design work extends beyond the digital and virtual. Pioneering learning space designs include the UK “Classrooms of Tomorrow” project, much work in the UK Building Schools for the Future initiative, and today school and university building projects ranging from Peru to Spain, from Australia to SE Asia, from Syrian refugees to some of the wealthiest learning institutions in the world. Pivotal research including the learnometer project analysing the light, temperatures, CO2 and more that contribute to better learning and working spaces, have led to Stephen being in considerable demand to transform physical learning spaces in education, but also everywhere from new media to the Australian mining industries.

So much work and so many projects contribute to Stephen's presentations which are entertainingly rich in practical experience and stories drawn across many sectors. Keynote inputs are often followed by an in-depth masterclass, or seminar conversation to explore things in greater depth.

A stream of awards include, in the last decade, the Royal Television Society's Judges Award for Lifelong Services to Educational Broadcasting, the prestigious BETT Award for Outstanding Achievement in ICT Education and the UK's NAACE Award for Lifetime Achievement in educational technology.
