The episode features former asset manager Lachlan Macquarrie discussing why commercial‑real‑estate technology projects often stall. He highlights misaligned incentives among asset managers, property managers and vendors, and how perceived risk outweighs actual risk. The conversation reveals that owners lack not solutions but clear ownership and alignment models. Macquarrie shares real‑world stories showing that more technology alone does not solve the underlying governance challenges.
