Global lessors likely to face “too much change in too short a time”

Share

While the global leasing industry has mostly recovered from the disruptive impact of the financial crisis, it is predicted to be facing Future Shock in the shape of too much change in too short a time.

There is no doubt that technology has been a radical agent of change for most industries – and leasing is no exception.

What, however, if the pace of change is about to accelerate and a diverse combination of radical innovation is about to transform the leasing industry and drive a whole set of new opportunities?

How will the industry respond to both the threats to the existing business models that these innovations pose as well as realising the opportunities that they represent?

Invigors EMEA aims to explore these challenges in its next half-day Executive Briefing, New Perspectives: Building for Growth in a Challenging World, to be held on November 6 at the Institute of Directors, London.

The Executive Briefing will discover how innovations such as Additive Manufacturing, the Internet of Things, Big Data and Cloud Computing are forecast to change the leasing landscape in terms of the range of assets financed by the industry, the shape of the leasing proposition and the way in which the proposition is delivered. The event will include both the opportunities that they present and the challenges that will have to be faced.

The agenda will also include:

•  A New Industrial Revolution? – discussion on the convergence of technological innovations which are driving a new Industrial Revolution across the globe;

The Internet of Things – exploring the business implications of interconnected objects, equipment and vehicles, Big Data and Cloud Computing;

•  Where next? A technological view of the future – examining how emerging technologies will impact business and discusses how organisational and how business models will need to change in order to adapt and survive;

•  New Face of Manufacturing – how new technologies such as 3D printing are changing the structure of manufacturing and the implications of this for customers, suppliers, logistics and finance; and

•  What future for leasing? – questions whether the leasing industry is ready for the challenges ahead and explores what needs to change.
