LP perspectives, new tools and scoring data success
NAREIM Data Strategy meeting
May 18, 2021
During the NAREIM Data Strategy Meeting, members discussed investor and consultant perspective on data, reporting requirements and the increasing move to asset-level projected cash flows. Members also dived into new tools - and gaining user adoption, as well as how to evaluate and score a data project and strategy. Please see below for the presentations from the meeting.
New tools and user adoption
Through case studies and a whole room Q&A, NAREIM members talked about the new tools, processes and strategies they have implemented over the past two years – and how they did (and did not) increase user adoption and business performance.

Scorecarding your data strategy
How do we begin to look to tracking ROI on data strategy? How do you incorporate the performance of people and processes and culture? Three case studies focused on scoring the talent and people within data strategy; how we can start to think about a scorecard for the overarching data strategy; and a deep dive into a specific data project.
