A combined pilot project including five social housing companies and two contractors was recently performed to deliver a scalable solution across the sector. A review of platforms suitable for the challenge was conducted across Europe and Sysmax was chosen as the platform provider.
Key roles, (joiners, plumbers etc) and challenges (asbestos, fire safety) were chosen, and the workload was shared between the group. The Sysmax platform was deployed which operates on any device, online and offline and tested by the group’s colleagues. Results were shared among the participants and the solution created is now able to be scaled across the sector. The system is able to upskill personnel by providing real time training and support on the job and both develop and report multi-skilling capabilities.
The findings of the combined pilot project will be shared with the audience and the experience discussed with Steve Eltringham (Managing Director Property & Construction at Bernicia Group) and Peter McAteer CEO of Sysmax. The product is now available to members to use so that compliance with the Golden Thread is achieved at scale whilst keeping costs down.
This is a substantial step forward for the sector in dealing with a significant leadership and talent retention challenge. Sharing the burden and benefits across the sector offers substantial performance improvement opportunities.
