Who do you think you are?

If you do the Twitter thing, follow me at @HousingITguy
or LinkedIn here https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tonysmiththathousingitguy


You know often, it’s not so much that its who you  think its for, its like what problem we are solving here.

I have come across so many projects where that question cannot easily be answered.

Now I have to say it happens less so in the private sector, as often profit is the key driver. Our surplus in socialhousing is what we should be focussed on, to deliver improvements and new housing.

A lot of projects get started for a whole raft of reasons. May be we have a charismatic CEO who drives forward a number of well meaning changes. Possibly legislation in England, Scotland, Ireland or Wales wrong foots us.

However, whatever is the cause, some times I find myself asking, “What’s this for”?   

How much can go wrong? Well quite a lot really.

Key stakeholders can ‘Leave the building’, maybe the requirement just has changed or gone away. A good example being ‘Pay To Stay’. The latter, a big issue that melted away. 

We need to be on the ball about if our projects are still relevant and also what they are for and set up to achieve. One with unsure or unknown outcomes is a liability. Always Question what your projects are for. If the reason for them has changed or there was no concrete reason to initiate them, maybe the time has come to stop, reconsider. 

Don’t waste time on broken projects is my measured advice..

Get in touch to comment or DM me about your particular project mix or your lessons learned.

Big Bang Fun

If you do the Twitter thing, follow me at @HousingITguy
or LinkedIn here https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tonysmiththathousingitguy



A question I am asked a lot, generally but not always after procurement, is should our implementation be phased or big bang?

As this question generally relates to large integrated housing management systems, the first thought is often, lets phase it. Reality is for me, is that most projects of these kind I have been involved in, have taken a big bang path. So how can we be sure that works well and what re the pros and cons of the different options, if most solution suppliers prefer a big bang?

An initial multiple module, strategy definition exercise, is a good idea, in order to ensure all staff and the project team have their expectations set as early as practically possible.

Some of the key questions relate to your type of organisation, is it simple, complicated, spread across a few locations or companies in a group structure. Also attitude to risk, something that must be considered and addressed early What resources are available, is there a big or minimal implementation team? Are there some competing business needs, which could be expected to clash with the change project?

Phasing an implementation generally will be costlier as they inevitably will take much longer to fully accomplish. Your project team will need to put in more time, as will your supplier, burning up more on-site days. I always bank on estimating three times your supplier days, on projects. Many of my clients balk at this, however most agree at the end that the estimate was not so far off.

If we do choose big bang, it is crucial that all system inter-dependences are thoroughly checked, tested and signed off, way before and as a formal precursor to go-live. Where a phased approach is utilised, expect some temporary interfaces to be needed for some months, between phases. This is something that introduces additional costs and the need to test more than once, through the lifecycle of the project.

Although in socialhousing systems, many interdependences between rents, CRM, assets & repairs point to a big bang approach being easier, if these form a single phase and maybe a second logical one with Service Charges/Factoring, Case Management and Planned/Cyclical modules, this can be a very successful approach. As can be imagined, I see various mixes of modules being replaced, some organisations including DLO/Contractor and Finance systems in the mix too. Feel free to comment or DM me about your particular project mix or your lessons learned.

The Logical Song

If you do the Twitter thing, follow me at @HousingITguy
or LinkedIn here https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tonysmiththathousingitguy


Increasingly I encounter more and more socialhousing organisations, looking to develop a tight digital strategy, in some cases building one with them. Pretty much all ask, how can we do this well? Who is doing this well, particularly in providing resident omni-channel and increasing channel shift and footfall to digital, rather than more traditional means?

We all see and are used to customer self-service. Daily I bet like me, you use Amazon, online Banking, supermarket and apps for booking travel & hotels. These set our expectations and for my money, this is where the bar is set. Don’t look to your supplier’s ‘out of the box’ systems, they in general look too much like your back-office solution. Strangely, none of the apps listed above, behave like something sat on a desk, near the water cooler.

Taking the dull, techie, logical components from your back office systems however, you can add sparkle and magic, with some web services, to get closer to a real world offering, your residents & customers are more likely to flock to.

Yarlington Housing Group is one forward thinking organisation, I have had the pleasure to have worked with, on a number of occasions. In my book, they tick that box of consistently strive to ‘Do it well’. So, let’s have a look at some of the top tips and silver bullets we can learn from an innovator such as this.

Clear and simple navigation, brilliant signposting for residents & other housing customers
Welcome to MyYarlington
(1)    Get a decent Third party web partner with extensive experience, in and out of the SocialHousing Sector. Proven experience working with a number of popular integrated housing management solutions reduces risk. Hallnet here have used their Active Housing range of products and services (https://www.activehousing.co.uk/). These are proven at in social housing organisations and are currently been implemented in Guinness, West Lothian Council and Sovini Group, among others.

(2)    Keep it simple (stupid). If you are a diverse go-ahead housing group (like these Somerset guys), use simple colourful disability-friendly icons/design to provide one click direction to your key digital footfall.

(3)    Make it as easy as possible for customers to sign up or get on with what they need to do, as fast as practical. Using Hallnet’s solutions, The Torus Group customers manage to diagnose, request and (DRS) appoint a repair in an average of 90 seconds, which is quicker than over the phone. Slow or inefficient self-service will just drive your customers to your helpline. Not good!
Give your social housing selfservice the commercial feel, get a basket for repairs & other things requested
The 'Basket'

(4)    Size, or rather re-size is everything. I have blogged here about if apps are good, bad or essential. Reality is that most customer Smartphone's these days are in good wifi, 3G/4G coverage. A responsive website, which is still a breeze to use on say an iPhone4 or 5, may provide the flexibility of an app, at a fraction of the cost.


(5)    Make your site work like Amazon, the Trainline or EasyJet. Get a familiar basket, to make it natural for customers to group requests together, or change their mind. Give them what they already are used to and understand. If they have to bother learning how to use your self-service, they just won’t ‘bother’, remember that.  

(6)    Ask your customers, ‘How was it for you’? When did you last do anything you were not asked to rate? Hotels you stay in, that Byron Burger, that Uber journey. On that last one, you rate the driver as well as them rating you! Understand what your customers like and dislike about your self-service and act on that valuable feedback.

Unhelpful self-service can just generate waste calls into your service centre
Don't forget the valuable feedback
(7)    Use Google Analytics or similar to find out how visitors navigate your pages, and act on high numbers of abandoned or in-complete transactions. Undoubtedly, these will translate into waste calls, into your service centre before long.

(8)    Taking account of GDPR, think out of the box, by shaping online services around your customers. Yarlington and Hallnet have clearly applied some serious thought around this. Clearly back end systems need to support the good control of the tenant data journey, conforming to the legal principles of GDPR.

Make your Socialhousing self-service and Omni-Channel GDPR ready
Make selfservice GDPR ready

(9)    Do not assume with your self-service, if you build it, they (your customers that is) will come. Paradoxically, conventional methods such as quarterly updates, mailshots, mention on the service centre line, when call waiting (…did you know you can do most things online, instead of listening to Dire Straits here?). Yarlington are making full use of a launch brochure as well as digital classes. Borrow some clothes from the commercial world to oil the wheels of your customers channel-shift journey. ‘Digital Eagles’ anyone?

(10)     Like in the garden of Eden, from day one, try to have all the ‘low hanging fruit’ on offer to tempt customers in. I.E. Tenant dashboard with notifications alerts, rules based content, privacy opt-ins, view and update personal details, Account section (current/future charges, fast statement generate for UC and other users), End-to-end repairs (‘real’ appointments, cancel, schedule, SMS reminders etc), messages, end tenancy request.

Yarlington who manage over 11k homes, aim to have 80% of transactions occurring online, with plans to reinvest substantial savings into property development and existing property renovation.

Stats from just the first fortnight are promising. 1100 signed up users, 1,650 account page views, 887 views of repair history, Repairs diagnosed and appointed: 200. If each phone call cost £3, it can be seen Yarlington will start to see some dramatic savings.

Chris Reed, who I have worked with on many occasions at Yarlington, was impressed with what has been achieved in a relatively short period. “Not only were Active Housing able to develop a fresh, intuitive and integrated customer portal, they were also extremely approachable and went the extra mile to ensure the project was delivered on time and to budget whilst meeting all our requirements.”
