Due to the coronavirus, we have postponed our current experiential events programme, whilst the situation runs its course.
We are working to reschedule as many of the events and study visits planned as soon as possible and will post details once confirmed.
However we have now moved a good proportion of our learning and leadership sessions online using what we believe is the best interactive platform out there to continue to deliver the same DIN experience.
Keep checking our website and LinkedIn page for updates.
Until then please keep safe and well.
DIN's Connected CEO forum is exclusively for leaders who want a different type of conversation around change and transformation.
Leaders from member organisations can access the forum where we share leadership insights and how to tackle contemporary housing issues through a DIN lens.
We will also be hosting CEO exclusive events throughout the year to inspire our member CEOs and encourage conversations to enact transformation in the sector!
If you'd like to know more, please get in touch!
We are pleased to share that Plus Dane Housing has signed up to three of our DINLab projects.
These DINLabs initiatives will enable Plus Dane to test exciting new technologies in real situations in a cost-effective manner.
Plus Dane Housing will trial:
💡 Safecility – a system that automatically monitors emergency lighting (crucial for developments and a legal requirement) and can send instant notifications about any failures of the installed lighting system so that repairs can be made quickly.
This saves time in fixing any problems, and also reduces the need for manual checks and inspections.
🗺️ Hello Lamp Post – a platform that allows the local community to scan QR codes located in public or communal areas which, when accessed, starts a conversation with AI communications bots.
These bots react to prompts and have been pre-loaded with thousands of answers about improvement projects in that area. Using the system increases interaction and allows users to say much more than on a traditional planning notice
🔧 Help me Fix – a solution supporting customers requiring home repairs over a video call where they can receive real-time guidance from a professional when carrying out simple repairs (such as resetting their boiler) via video.
Customers get extra confidence to perform these repairs with the support of an expert, and it removes the need for the customer to make a repair appointment.
DIN has loved working with Plus Dane Housing on these three exciting DINLabs projects. They are demonstrating that their customers are at the heart of what they do by investing into each of these innovative customer focused solutions.
We are looking forward to sharing the findings in the new year!
A strategic development opportunity for your top team
Helping your board and senior leadership team ask the right questions and make the right decisions
With so much change and uncertainty we seem to be entering new territory.
It’s not just the pace of change, which is challenging enough, but the radical nature of the change that feels different.
If you are challenging your current approach, revisiting your strategy or at least think you should - then DIN has created DIN Board & Executive Leadership: The Mind Stretch Sessions.
This is a strategic development opportunity for your top team, to help your board and senior leadership team asked the right questions and make the right decisions.
Our work is informed by what is happening beyond just the world in which social housing operates.
Our ambitions match those organisations which are disrupting and innovating in the world of retail, finance, transportation.
In fact, all those real world experience you your tenants and residents experience every day.
Tailored to your priorities we create a bespoke event involving experts and thought leaders from DIN and our partners from a half day to a 24-hour lunch time to lunch time sprint.
We can bring the event to you or source venues that are a little different to the norm to create a great back drop for Mind Stretch.
It was great to be at European Federation for Living's Spring Conference in Italy, 15th to 17th May.
Our CEO and founder, Ian was in attendance as a guest speaker. He joined a host of like-minded individuals from across Europe to discuss innovation and service delivery within social housing.
You can see what Ian and the other speakers had to say in the video below:

We’re really pleased to announce our brand new joint report in partnership with Campbell Tickell, and kindly supported by our friends at Salesforce: Customer engagement - fresh perspectives!
Following the positive feedback from the our previous joint reports, we thought for our third report we’d tackle a very topical theme - how we can improve the way housing providers engage with their tenants and residents.
The research is framed around innovations happening within the social housing sector, along with external and international perspectives. Some of the findings are challenging and you may not agree with them all. The important bit is we keep how we think about tenants and residents needs and expectations at the forefront of housing operations.
You can read the full report, here.

"As a (small) organisation, we have learned so much from the Disruptive Innovators Network. Being part of such an inspiring organisation, shows us all the possibilities from which we can take the first steps on each of our innovation journeys, or indeed make contact with a new network of experts to ask follow up questions. One of best elements is the inclusion; we are DIN’s smallest member by quite a margin, but in this group, size doesn’t matter and in fact Ian and his team go out of their way to make us feel welcome and included."
Anne Taylor, CEO, Thorngate Churcher Trust
"DIN brings not just other Housing Associations together to look at how we can challenge the status quo or overcome the challenges we face; the involvement of other sector expertise and international partners really expands our problem solving capacity and opportunity to learn. We have also called upon Ian Wright’s expertise and knowledge in Innovation at our Leadership and Executive Meetings to help generate and facilitate innovative thinking. Our only challenge is how to take advantage of everything on offer from DIN!"
Ian Kelly, Director of Digital and Innovation
"I really cannot praise the event enough. Sessions were engaging, diverse and well balanced between informative theoretically and practically. One of the best I’ve been to certainly. Very inspiring! Easily a 5 (out of 5)!"
Philippe Demougin, Property Innovation Manager, Flagship
"Talking to passionate innovators and visiting schemes in person, stimulated discussion in a way you just cannot get online, and lead to really starting to think about how we move from awareness and understanding to implementation."
Tessa Barraclough, Head of Sustainability, Riverside Group
"A Solid 5 (out of 5) Content, facilitation, engagement, timekeeping, breadth of interest, pre-session information, matching with expectations, opportunities for learning, all great – thank you to all involved. Thank you"
Jamie Adam, Performance Manager, Berneslai Homes Construction Services
"There is no one else like DIN – I get annoyed by every invite they send as I want to put it at the top of my priority list to attend. Topics are relevant, thought-provoking and bang on in terms of what they are addressing. DIN challenges us to think big – addressing not just business transformation but sector transformation; their network model enables attendance from managers across the business – driving curiosity; a growth mindset and a will to see how we can actually apply what we are learning. DIN is truly the Carlsberg of network groups."
Julia Mixter, Director of Transformation, Raven Housing Trust
"Love the work of the network and it has really provided innovative and motivating content to inspire change in our business now and in the years ahead."
Tina Cunliffe, Director of Corporate Services, Bolton at Home

Dirk Huibers, CEO and Co-founder, Spotr - PIN Member
