Current Issues, Ideas and 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 has chaired over 1,000 meetings over the last 15 years and many of the participants have gone on to become highly successful business owners. He has developed a methodology 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.

Property Academy, the UK's pre-eminent property industry business training and events company, was founded by Peter Knight, former estate agent and owner of an award-winning marketing agency. Peter is a published author, international business speaker, Non-Executive Director of several property related businesses and estate agency coach, as well as the founder of the property industry’s biggest leadership conference, exhibition and awards. He chairs regular leadership group meetings for estate agency business owners and owners of businesses that supply services to estate agents to help them to design and implement strategies to achieve profitable growth and maximise business value.

As an owner of a small business, I found Peter's one-to-one coaching sessions invaluable. Working with Peter has had a dramatic and positive effect on both my professional and personal life. Rachel Ritson, Grisdales

Peter's session on creating an 'Everest Mission' is one of the most practical & important business tools I've ever been shown. Mark Ross, Redbrik

There are few people that attack life with the tenacity and energy that Peter has. Peter is a real teacher, someone with the extraordinary ability to challenge (and hold) everyone he meets, and one of the most memorable speakers and people I have encountered. Working with Peter was one of those lifetime experiences which I talk about to this day. Working with Peter is an adventure....do try to keep up! Sally Shuttleworth, CEO Marketing Centre SA

Peter is simply inspirational. If you need someone with heaps of innovative and intellectual thinking capacity combined with the rare skill and passion that is required to drive a concept through the heart of an organisation, winning hearts and minds along the way then Peter is your man. Ian Webb, Marketing Director, David Wilson Homes

Anticipating and Managing New Developments with ChatGPT and Other Generative AIs

ChatGPT. Stable diffusion. DALL-E. Generative Artificial Intelligence. These phrases are in the news a great deal these days. And with good reason: these new types of AI are demonstrating features that are taking most observers by surprise. But what are the implications for people working in the property industry?

This workshop reviews examples of how work flows are already being transformed by the use of new AI tools, and anticipates additional changes in the coming 12-24 months.

It’s not that people will be put out of work by robots. It’s that people who are uncomfortable and unskilled in getting the best out of AI will be put out of work by people who do have these skills.

At the same time, in a world with an increasing pace of change and a deluge of fake news, there’s going to be a higher premium than before on some old-fashioned human skills, including building and keeping trust.

David Wood has written eight books about the future, including Vital ForesightThe Abolition of Aging, and Smartphones and Beyond. Since 2008 he has chaired London Futurists, which has grown to be the world’s largest meetup devoted to futurist topics.

Previously, he spent 25 years pioneering the mobile computing and smartphone industries, with senior management roles at Psion, Symbian, Nokia, and Accenture Mobility.

When not reading, writing, or talking about the future, he plays golf (badly), appreciates Netflix and the BBC iPlayer, and enjoys travelling.
