London and Manchester were the venues for Intelliflo’s second annual ‘Change the game’ Conferences where nearly 800 delegates heard how, according to a recent Fidelity report, becoming an ‘eAdviser’ is the single greatest factor in whether advisers succeed or fail.
The day went on to show delegates how by harnessing technology and putting it at the heart of your business, advisory firms are more likely to see increased profitability, better client engagement, streamlined business processes while satisfying the regulator.
We started the day with James Wouldhuysen looking at the IT fear within our society. This was then followed by Nick Eatock who busted some myths on digital engagement before launching the first stage of our automated advice capability. Mark Hopcroft of Cofunds, our major partner in this exciting development, continued by explaining their involvement. After lunch we were treated to a Q&A with British athlete Iwan Thomas and then finished off with a humorous but enlightening session with economist Justin Urquhart Stewart on Brexit.
Is a robot stealing your job?
This key note session looked at technology advances from a consumer and business point of view. The fear of IT is in our society, but a glance at the role of robots shows that IT is not taking people’s jobs and that robots are now working alongside workers - not instead of them. Other industries have shown that IT is a supplement and not a replacement and it does not stop face time with clients. It will change it. Adviser firms and providers will need to offer the same. The need to adopt new, advanced and always updated IT is not just about future-proofing businesses – it’s also about big opportunities for advisers.

The art of the possible
Almost a year on for the launch of Intelliflo’s Personal Finance Portal (PFP), this key note session had some real world experience and data from actual usage by end clients. We shared some of this data and in the process, busted some myths about digital advice. As more and more firms use our current client portal (PFP2) to service their clients, we described how we are continuing to reduce servicing costs of your clients with a range of exciting enhancements in our pipeline. We also showcased our first stage of our automated advice capability.
