In this episode, Manisha Tank speaks to William Ruh, CEO of Lendlease Digital, and Amit Bansal, AI Execution and Data-led Transformation lead for Accenture Growth Markets. In a fascinating conversation, we find out why there is no better time for the property and real estate industry to be disrupted, and why digital transformation is the answer to the challenges that the industry is facing.

We also learn about Podium, Lendlease's revolutionary end-to-end digital platform that will transform how the company designs, builds, and operates. And discover how data and AI are helping to make spaces personalised and more welcoming for people—from shopping malls to office buildings and residental properties. Ultimately, creating value for consumers also translates to value for businesses and stakeholders, and this is how the industry is slowly but surely shaping up to be a future-gazing and future-ready one.

In addition, William shares with us Lendlease's sustainability culture that has been in place for over half a century ago, and sage advice he has for companies who are ready to begin their digital transition. Amit also speaks on how one can protect their data and privacy, even in this age of transformation, and why generative AI is the next most exciting frontier in pushing the boundaries of sustainable spaces.
