About the event:

The Boardroom Masterclass Agenda includes:

• International ageing-in-place: A successful business model based on consumer choice and aspirations of older adults for home ownership and enabling independence as they age

• Laying the groundwork: understanding the business and operational models in Australia

• Demographics (urban planning, reform funding, wealth concentration)

• Consumer focused service model (home based care & enabling social inclusion)

• Case-studies on retirement living and aged care business models and future directions

• UK Industry research presentation on what baby boomers want and costs of independent living versus residential aged care

• Future of ageing in Australia: the emergence of four key retirement living & care models

• 90 minutes – Greenfield site development project: eight industry leaders will strategise on the best model for the site

The Masterclass will replicate the full fiÂnancial, demographic planning, operational, policy and valuation decision making processes that management teams face.

The 90 minute interactive panel in the afternoon will involve a mock boardroom scenario of what to develop on a piece of old industrial land in the inner city area around the airport. The assumption is that the local Council will only approve a development that deals with the ageing population, so the debate will deal with:

• The known options of residential with pure residential with deï¬ÂÂned community care, retirement villages with user pays or residential aged care
• The factors that drive the decision.
