This Quarter’s Topic
Innovation and Balancing Business as Usual
August 8, 2024 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM PT / 12:00 PM - 2:30 PM CT / 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM ET via Zoom
The world is changing rapidly. Ai is becoming mainstream. Curiosity and experimentation are key to learning how to leverage this technology and others to create true business value. But how do you even make time for exploring the art of the possible when faced with the fires of today? Are you finding it challenging to balance innovation with maintaining day-to-day operations in the equipment finance industry?
Join us for a compelling virtual roundtable discussion where we'll explore what it takes to align the crucial need for exploration and experimentation with the practicalities of scaling and executing business as usual.
Hosted by the ELFA Innovation Advisory Council, this interactive session will equip you with actionable insights and peer-to-peer learning opportunities. As a jumping off point for our discussion we will use the Hourglass Model, a framework developed by Peter Hinssen for helping organizations seamlessly integrate innovative practices into core operations.
The Hourglass Model offers a structured approach to corporate innovation by balancing two essential phases: Sense and Try (Top Half) and Scaling and Execution (Bottom Half). “Sense and try” deals with identifying emerging trends as well as rapidly testing and iterating new ideas in a low-risk environment. “Run and Scale” is about rigorously evaluating and prioritizing the most promising innovations to efficiently scale and implement them across the organization. Balancing the top and bottom halves of the hourglass enables organizations to foster a culture of innovation while maintaining operational stability and leveraging existing strengths.
In our discussion, we will explore themes like the following:
- Does balancing innovation and business as usual matter for equipment finance? why?
- What is your balance of innovation vs. business as usual? Is your current balance preparing you to be future ready?
- How are teams overcoming the challenges of balancing the need for innovation with the demands of business as usual?
- How are you linking innovation to real business problems for impactful solutions?
- How might we provide a safe space for innovation within regulated environments?
