Lee Oddes is the CEO of Access Control Executive Brief. Lee is a globally recognized access control thought leader, consultant, speaker, and author who has dedicated his career to revolutionising access technology. Lee believes that security goes beyond physical barriers and that true access involves creating exceptional experiences. He emphasises the importance of adopting the latest technology to ensure safe access, deliver innovative resident experiences, and future-proof buildings. Throughout the podcast, Lee discusses the evolving role of access control in the modern world, its transformation from utility to experience, and the profound impact it can have on the real estate industry. Takeaways: • Access control is evolving from a traditional utility that restricts entry to a seamless experience that enhances convenience and user satisfaction in modern buildings. • The integration of access control with other building systems and technologies can lead to operational efficiency, personalised user experiences, and enhanced safety. • Access control systems can provide valuable data, including user patterns, location information, and resource utilisation, which can be leveraged for building management and security purposes. • The real estate industry is transitioning from static, inflexible spaces to dynamic, flexible environments, driven by changing work patterns and customer demands. • Storytelling is becoming increasingly important in the access control industry to convey the value of these systems in creating better building experiences and to bridge the gap between technology providers and customers.
