Chris Carn NAB Vision: LIXI is well known and
embraced in the lending area. There is however a lot of work required
to improve communications between lenders and brokers particularly with
backchannel, products and commission. There are
also immediate opportunities for early adopters in the valuation
and legal areas. The next couple of years will see pressure on
LIXI and its members who must support coordinate and prioritise
activities that are essential to support the change. LIXI representing
its members will play a major role in industry change while continuing
to develop and maintain standards. The Directors of LIXI have an
equally important role to ensure the long term sustainability
of LIXI as a support organisation for its members. Simon Elwig CBA Bio: Simon Elwig is currently Executive Manager, Strategy and Finance for Third Party Banking at the Commonwealth Bank. Having worked in this role for almost 5 years,
