1. Watch for these technologies coming into your clients:
   1. Look for a shift in the labor force. This will give you a better sense for when you might need to address this new labor force’s different needs for housing. 
   2. Inside your own organization, watch how these technologies might change how you work, and think about how you might be able to automate some of the tasks in your organization.
2. Explore what kind of relationship you want to have with your customer.
   1. How could you use technology to give you greater insight, pulling together more data for better decision making?
   2. How could you free people up? What would you have them do instead?
   3. Explore how you can better value human-to-human interaction and relationships.
3. Learn how predictive analytics could help you set up corporate housing units better or for less.
   1. Balance the need to be efficient and the implementation of new technology with personal relationships.
   2. Determine how you’ll evaluate ROI of big data tools—do you want to invest in this?
