Findings from A Meeting of Minds Winning Advisers - 29 April 2021

SUMMARY

The twenty-second Meeting of Minds Winning Advisers took place on Thursday, 29 April as a virtual event. This document summarises the key issues raised in the topics discussed during the roundtables that took place on the day.

A Meeting of Minds Winning Advisers is a biannual strategic forum organised by Owen James. It is an opportunity for some 60 plus owner managers of independently spirited IFA firms to come together with product and service providers keen to engage with them on a strategic level. These Meetings provide a neutral environment where they can examine industry issues, opportunities and develop business strategies to address them.

THE FORMAT

Participants enjoy access to strategic insight and networking at the highest level. In addition, two external speakers are invited to provide keynotes which spark debate and encourage fresh and original thinking.

At the core of these Meetings is the series of roundtables, all held through Zoom meeting rooms, addressing the pre-researched and pre-agreed agenda. These provide an opportunity for open discussion led by an expert on the matter alongside an objective and professional facilitator. 

The Roundtable sessions were facilitated by:

  • Dave Edwards, Esperto Business Solutions
  • Martyn Laverick, Paul Harper Search & Selection
  • John Chapman, Orion Consultancy Ltd
  • Jo Goddard, Green & Good Consulting
  • Paul Miles, Silverback Consultancy
  • Lee Robertson, Octo Members Group
