Housing Sector Podcast #64 – The data problem the housing sector still hasn’t solved

In this episode of the Housing Sector Podcast, I’m joined by Siobhan Weightman to discuss one of the sector’s most persistent and least resolved issues: data. We explore why fragmented, unreliable data continues to undermine service delivery, governance, compliance, and trust across the housing sector. Drawing on experience from local government, policing, and housing, Siobhan reflects on how poor data culture leads to reactive decision-making, weak oversight, and repeated operational failure. We discuss data silos and system sprawl, GDPR compliance risks, the impact of bad data on customer experience, service charges and asset knowledge, governance assurance and board accountability, mergers and inherited data problems, and why so much “digital transformation” fails to address root causes. The conversation also touches on the growing gap between strategy and lived reality, the risks of reputation management over problem-solving, and why residents so often pay the price when organisations don’t know their own stock or trust their own information. #HousingSector #SocialHousing #HousingAssociations #DataGovernance #DataQuality #DigitalTransformation #HousingRegulation #TenantExperience #ServiceCharges #Governance #Accountability #Transparency #GDPR #HousingPolicy #PublicSector #HousingPodcast #HousingLeadership #HousingData #UKHousing #BenJenkins
