Neighbourhood Advisory

From the first concept to day-to-day operation.

We develop the neighbourhood of the future with you: in seven modules, from the status-quo analysis to the handover into operation.

Book an intro callStart with the Neighbourhood Compass

200+ neighbourhoods since 2014

Challenge

Liveable and social neighbourhoods place enormous demands on later operations

Services, digital infrastructure, operator structures and economics have to be thought together early. Postponing it means paying twice in operations.

ANIMUS approach

Seven modules, one consistent plan

Structured advisory across all project phases: from target picture to concept and calculation, all the way to a smooth handover to operations.

Seven modules

How we develop your neighbourhood

Seven modules that build on each other. Each one delivers concrete decision-ready outputs.

Status-quo workshopModule 1

Status-quo analysis and target picture

We build a shared picture of today and define the target for tomorrow.

Goals

  • Build a shared understanding of planning status and overall context
  • Define a strategic target picture as a guardrail for all further modules
  • Identify first optimisation potentials in planning, services and operations

Deliverables (excerpt)

  • Status-quo and gap analysis
  • Prioritised fields of action as the basis for all further modules
Structural concept neighbourhoodModule 2

Structural concept

We create the robust structural base for the further neighbourhood design.

Goals

  • Create a robust decision base for further neighbourhood design
  • Structure functions, areas and usage logic across the neighbourhood
  • Clarify interfaces with planning, operations and marketing

Deliverables (excerpt)

  • Binding outline concept as a guide for detailed design
  • Recommended roadmap for the next 12 months
Digital infrastructure in the neighbourhoodModule 3

Digital concept

We combine digital systems into one usable overall concept for the neighbourhood.

Goals

  • Build a viable overall digital concept for services and operations
  • Plan user needs and usability into every system from the start
  • Select hardware, software and interfaces technology-agnostically

Deliverables (excerpt)

  • Digital concept for user-operable systems in the neighbourhood
  • Decision matrices for parcel boxes, door locking, intercoms and metering
Neighbourhood services in actionModule 4

Service concept

We design services that work socially and carry economically.

Goals

  • Combine social quality, everyday usefulness and economics in one service concept
  • Create a structured basis for later operations
  • Size people, processes and costs realistically per service

Deliverables (excerpt)

  • Recommendation of a market-ready service portfolio
  • Assessment of offers by benefit, effort and cost
Operations team on siteModule 4A

Operations concept

We shape the operating model that carries services and tech in daily use.

Goals

  • Develop an operating model that reliably supports services and digital functions
  • Clarify roles: operator, caretaker, providers and neighbourhood management
  • Define workflows and responsibilities for daily operations

Deliverables (excerpt)

  • Org chart with roles and responsibilities
  • Process map for the key workflows in the neighbourhood
Business planning neighbourhoodModule 4B

Operating calculation

We calculate operations end-to-end and build a viable economic frame.

Goals

  • Develop a robust economic framework for later operations
  • Map revenues, costs and recoverability transparently per service
  • Provide scenarios and sensitivities for decision-making

Deliverables (excerpt)

  • Business plan and economic model for the neighbourhood
  • Calculation model with scenarios and sensitivities
Handover to neighbourhood operationsModule 5

Handover to operations

We guide the transition from project into live neighbourhood operations.

Goals

  • Ensure a smooth handover from project into live operations
  • Define the concrete services required at provider level
  • Set up responsibilities, contracts and training in time

Deliverables (excerpt)

  • Support in producing signature-ready service contracts
  • Training of the relevant roles in neighbourhood operations
