IBIS Global Summit 2022 – Agenda

Celebrating 20 years of the IBIS Global Summit

Sean Fletcher

Post pandemic, what is happening with the collision repair industry globally, what are the recovery signs and what does the future hold.

Speaking to collision shops and businesses around the globe IBIS delegates will hear how businesses are progressing through 2022, how they have overcome the challenges of the last two years and how their plans for the future are taking shape.

Every aspect of the collision repair industry has experienced disruption, innovation, automation, and consolidation. The one initiative missing from truly advancing our industry to new heights is optimisation. Because every industry stakeholder has a level of “waste” built into their processes, our global ability to unearth leakage limits our ability to optimise, specifically, the OEM parts supply chain. In this keynote, you’ll hear from Paul Gange (President of North America, Advantage Parts Solutions), David Shepherd (Non-Executive Director, Advantage Parts Solutions), and Tim O’Day (Chief Executive Officer, Boyd Services) suggest a new vision that would allow the industry the ability to truly work towards optimisation for the absolute benefit of everyone, including, most importantly, the vehicle owner.

With the advancements in AI technology how is this impacting on the whole claims process journey. Add to this supply chain challenges and an increase in vehicle repair times this panel discussion will highlight how the claims journey has changed and the continuing challenges that need the next level of collaboration.

Not restricted to just a technician shortage, the industry is struggling with staff shortages in all facets of the business. We will look at the recruitment journey, how we can mentor the mentors and the importance of a planned career path.
