Back to all cases How to prepare for the housing market of the future: The case of Vesteda
Residential investor Vesteda sought to accelerate its data-driven transformation to invest more sustainably, simplify the application process for prospective tenants, and automate internal processes. BigData Republic supported Vesteda by training the board and various management teams in data strategy, identifying and prioritizing use cases, and managing the Data Product Lifecycle.
The challenge
Vesteda, a Dutch residential investor focused on the mid-market segment, sought to leverage data to achieve three primary goals: investing sustainably for the future, increasing customer satisfaction by matching the right home to the right tenant, and maintaining the financial stability of its portfolio in a changing market. To take this step, the organization needed to learn how to structure itself around data, understand the capabilities and limitations of data, and determine how to strategically select data initiatives.
The solution
BigData Republic delivered a series of practical workshops and training sessions:
Data strategy workshop for the executive team: Introduction of a five-pillar Data Strategy Framework that prioritizes value creation.
Use case workshops for managers: Brainstorming and prioritizing concrete data ideas based on feasibility and impact (such as a matching score between prospective tenants and available properties).
Data Product Lifecycle training: Insight into all phases of a data project from initial idea and proof-of-concept to full implementation and evaluation.
The result
- Shared language and vision
- Prioritized use case pipeline
- Broadly supported data strategy
- Ready for implementation
