Meeting Facilitated by Leading Futurists LLC

Written by Susan Hodges

Each year the Foundation hosts business leaders representing various sectors of the industry to explore trends, challenges and opportunities and identify issues that may impact the equipment leasing and finance business for years to come.This year's IFC meeting took a fresh approach to futures thinking and focused on 2024.

The IFC report synthesizes several topics discussed during the 2-day meeting and presents possible scenarios equipment leasing and finance companies may want to consider as they plan for future growth - such as a changing business model emerging from a new generation of industry leaders, potential technological developments, and a possible transformation of production and distribution networks. It is the hope of the Foundation that readers will benefit from the insights of the IFC and use this report as a thought-provoking resource and planning tool.
