The book explores the need for horizontal and vertical integration of data, information and knowledge within and across organisations involved in the social housing sector. It presents a step further by exploring the hurdles of turning information and knowledge into actions that change practices. The book demonstrates the issue through four case studies from Norway that explores different approaches to integrating information while balancing the needs and drivers of different stakeholders. It also discusses the challenges associated with benchmarking benefits from different stakeholders and proposes a new system that builds on crowdsourcing principles.
