He sets the guidance against BS 8536:2022, the code that has replaced the standards it applied, and shows how the GSL champion, four themes of target outcomes and plain language questions carry operational needs into ISO 19650 information requirements. The episode closes with handover from the project to the asset information model, aftercare, post-occupancy evaluation and the golden thread of information.\nChapters\n0:00 Opening: a plant room and three years of aftercare\n2:37 What GSL is and the code that now governs it\n7:09 Roles, the champion, targets and plain language questions\n14:54 The five GSL stages and handover\n18:48 Aftercare, evaluation and the golden thread\n22:11 Close\nAfter listening, you should be able to:\nExplain what Government Soft Landings (GSL) requires beyond a smooth handover, and where it stands now that BS 8536:2022 has replaced the 2015 and 2016 codes.\nDescribe the client-side roles in GSL, and the GSL champion in particular.\nApply plain language questions and target outcomes to ISO 19650 information requirements.\nPlan GSL tasks, handover and information transfer across the five GSL stages.\nEvaluate how aftercare and post-occupancy evaluation close the loop and support a golden thread of information.\nReferences\nBritish Standards Institution.
