Top lessors set to head new Executive Briefings from Invigors

Opportunities for revenue enhancement are too easily overlooked as lessors have to focus on “business as usual”.

With asset finance companies in the post-recessionary environment increasingly under pressure to generate improved rates of return, skills in growing revenue from non-interest income is an increasing necessity in a capital-constrained world.

A diverse group of external factors is driving growth in asset and lifecycle management ranging from macro-economic factors prevalent today, through legal and regulatory developments, to the disruptive potential of new technologies.

As a result, Invigors EMEA, part of the global Alta Group is launching a series of Executive Briefings aiming to examine how asset and lifecycle management is set to become one of the main areas of differentiation, value creation, and service and product innovation for leasing companies in the future.

The first in the series is Asset Management– a New Paradigm. Its agenda will include:
 
• Adding value to the Leasing Proposition – the vital role of Asset Management. Applying asset management to meet end customers’ and manufacturers’ needs. How asset management can be a source of differentiation and value creation;

• Transforming Commerce through Lifecycle Asset Management – lifecycle management’s role in the circular economic model. Potential for value creation for manufacturers and lessors. Role of remanufacturing and secondary market management;

• Potential Disruptors and Catalysts for Change Disruptive technology and the “Internet of things” – how to exploit big data’s potential. New business models for a sustainable, circular economy; and

•  Responding to and Thriving in a Changing World – changes in customer behaviour from ownership to usage. The role of asset management in addressing end customer concerns. The value of information provision and the growing focus on total cost of usage – including lessons from fleet management.
