Benchmarking the Best - What You Can Learn from the Leaders
Wednesday, May 2, 2007, 1:00pm-2:30pm ESTThis unique Web seminar explores and expands on the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation's recent study, "Business Differentiation: What makes a select few leasing companies consistently outperform their peers?" Participants will learn the characteristics a company needs to be an "outperformer" among lease finance organizations, and have the opportunity to ask questions regarding the findings.
Focusing on three key categories in which the winners distinguish themselves--industry pressures, business capabilities and leadership perspectives, this in-depth analysis of consistently successful equipment leasing and finance companies is a MUST for executives and corporate decision-makers responsible for corporate strategy.

2006 State of the Industry Report
Original Air Date: Wednesday, December 6, 2006
This webinar covered the findings from the State of the Industry Report, published annually by the Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation. The study is the product of an exhaustive review and analysis of leasing industry information sources, including ELFA's 2006 Survey of Industry Activity, government data, independent research and interviews with key executives in all the major industry segments. It provides a comprehensive portrait of the leasing and finance industry in the near term.
The Report, sponsored by Accenture, identifies the most recent full year numbers for the leasing industry were highly positive, with higher volumes expected to carry over into 2006 and beyond. However, a number of fundamental challenges exist as the industry continues its transition to providing more complete equipment finance solutions rather than lease product sales and the competitive environment further intensifies:
- New business volume improved significantly in 2005
- The industry is continuing its transition from leasing to equipment finance
- Capital appears plentiful
- Margin compression worsened
- Niche focus emphasized
- Banks command a competitive advantage
