This Quarter's Topic

Few would challenge the idea that equipment finance companies need to innovate and adopt digital capabilities to grow, remain competitive, and be profitable. Going from idea to action and making it happen is a different story.

Our rounddtable discussions tackle important topics and thought-provoking insights for anyone looking to drive innovation within their team or organization.

The ELFA Innovation Advisory Council is leading a discussion on the following topics for February’s roundtable.

• What are the common barriers to innovation in equipment finance?
How are digital transformation and innovation leaders overcoming these barriers?
• What are examples of digital wins you can achieve beyond major platform implementations?
• How do you help users adopt new capabilities? in the face of so much change?
• What can be done to overcome legacy system limitations so prevalent across our industry?
• How do you balance getting digital transformation done and the need to conduct business as usual?
