9. Trust machines

10. The Future of Financial Services

11. Big data and increasingly borderless markets will change the nature of valuation
Big data is changing the dynamics of professions (algorithms are used in standardised processes)
Intelligent systems that ‘learn’ can connect real time analytics and transactions
Banks want to control IP associated with valuation (can use big data to generate own valuations)
In a globalising world what is market regulation?
Who decides who or what qualifies as valuer/ valuation?
Push by USA for a common global standard?
The introduction of Blockchain technology introduces a systems based trusted 3rd party process

12. The Future Role of the Valuer

13. From Valuer to Property Professional?
Different Role: Market analysis, new and commercial developments, investment
Multiple valuations required: current, near future, future future.
Knowledge base different: Big data analysis, horizon scanning for environment challenges, financial analysis skills. International economic capacity.
Requires significant review of Education: Post grad qualification
Nature of sector changes: Most specialist, fewer participants
