PROPERTY INNOVATIVE AWARDS 2021

Meet the judges of this year’s PropertyX Innovate Awards Nominations are in for this year’s fourth annual PropertyX Innovate Awards, which celebrate influential businesses across the sector – including legal practitioners, panel law firms, developers, financial institutions and industry partners. Adjudicating the submissions is an esteemed panel of innovative leaders, with significant experience across a range of industries. We spoke to each of our judges to learn what innovation means to them and garner their expert advice on how to introduce this thinking within your business.
Kylie Davis, Founder & President, Proptech Association Australia “My approach to innovation is to understand what a truly amazing client experience looks like, to map that out within the business and identify the roadblocks preventing us from delivering that. There are three elements in my view: • Pain: there needs to be a problem you’re trying to solve – and it needs to be stronger than your customer’s ability to resist the pain. • Solutions: it’s all about creating a fix. • Persistence: as much as we all love unicorns, it takes blood, sweat, tears and time to achieve our goals.” Karen Finch, CEO of Legally Yours, Vice President of the Australian Legal Tech Association “Casting an eye to my domain, I think that innovation is going to be the driving force behind creating greater accessibility to legal services – both pro-bono and in paid work. In turn, more lawyers will live a healthier and more sustainable life having shifted away from billable hours. In simple terms, innovation is about shifting from ‘yes, but…’ to ‘yes, and…’ and removing those barriers.”
