Multifamily organizations constantly seek ways to stay ahead of the competition and drive growth. I think Generative AI has the potential to revolutionize property management and bring significant benefits to organizations that embrace this technology.

Frederick Winslow Taylor, the father of scientific management, once said, “In the past, the man has been first; in the future, the system must be first.” I sense that we are on the precipice of this moment. The groundswell has been at play for years. The tsunami is reaching its crescendo, and the landfall moment is here.

Generative AI can automate repetitive tasks, provide insights and predictions based on data analysis, and enable more informed decision-making. While creativity and imagination can produce hundreds of thousands of ways to use GAI, some specific ways it will impact management include:

1. Predictive analytics: Generative AI models can analyze large amounts of data to identify patterns and predict future outcomes with high probability, which can help managers make informed decisions.
2. Process optimization: AI-powered automation can streamline and optimize business processes, freeing managers’ time for more strategic tasks.
3. Personalized experiences: Generative AI models can generate custom content, such as customized marketing materials, or tailor the user experience to individual prospects and residents – think of AI leasing as the first draft.

Similarly, the management guru Peter Drucker once stated, “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” By harnessing the power of generative AI, managers can leverage data and automation to make informed predictions and shape the future of their organizations. I sense that GAI will ultimately upend the traditional hierarchy business model.

However, it is important to note that while AI has the potential to benefit management greatly, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution and must be used in conjunction with human judgment and expertise, at least in its current iteration. The successful implementation of generative AI in management will require combining technical skills, business acumen, and a willingness to embrace change.
