Invigors’ Executive Briefing to examine: “lessors likely to face too much change in too short a time”

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?

Richard Guilbert, partner at Invigors EMEA (pictured) told Asset Finance International: “The leasing industry has generally been good at dealing with change – but reactively and at its own pace. The current acceleration of technological change and its future impact on all aspects of business warrants a more proactive approach – if only to anticipate what’s coming and to talk openly and creatively about the implications for the leasing industry.”

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 Thursday 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 – explores the business implications of interconnected objects, equipment and vehicles, Big Data and Cloud Computing;

• Where next? A technological view of the future – examines how emerging technologies will impact business and discusses how organisational and 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;

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