This Quarter's Topic

Bold Questions & Bringing Innovations to Life

In a world of continuous and disruptive change, it’s easy to get so caught up in the day-to-day that we don’t make time to think long term. It’s a fact of business life that we must focus on urgent short-term needs and attend to business as usual. At the same time, if we want to remain relevant and shape our future, we must not lose sight of the long game.

How are customer needs and preferences evolving? What are we missing if we don’t depart from conventional thinking? How might we accelerate bringing innovations to market?

In this session, we will be zooming out to consider the long-term implications and opportunities of a variety of trends. Then we will zoom in to explore what it takes to bring new ideas to life. Join us to gain insights from peers and share your perspective on the future of innovation, acceleration, and long-term considerations for equipment leasing and finance.
