Making the hidden connections: Saving money, reducing risk, and improving understanding of your estate
This workshop explores a simple truth: you can't control external energy prices, but you can control the information and assumptions that shape decisions about your trust estate. We will unpack the hidden information gaps that can increase costs and create unnecessary risk, drawing on practical case studies covering mergers, decarbonisation, new builds, lettings and everyday operational decisions. You will discover how small changes can improve efficiency, reduce long-term costs and strengthen decision-making across your estate. Ideal for COOs, and estates and operations leaders.
