Welcome
to our first LIXI newsletter which we believe is appropriately
named LIXI @ Work. It has been almost 3 years since the inception
of LIXI and if our last general meeting is an indicator then
we can confidently say it has been a worthwhile effort.
There are many achievements the members of LIXI should be proud
of. Our continued existence and growth is one of them but more
so are the results produced. Fuelled only by volunteer effort
and a vision for an efficient lending chain the various working
groups started with the core Application process and are extending
into the areas such as Mortgage Insurance, Loan Settlement and
Broker Commissions. This has resulted in the production of the
evolving CAL Standard, now at version 1.2, and LIXIs Road
map to the future.
LIXI is also larger than the sum of its parts and should not
just be measured by its physical deliverables. The membership
is a moulding force that is shaping and driving the industry
to new levels of achievement. LIXI has brought together people
and companies never thought possible before and innovation has
become the norm.
We look forward to our regular General Meetings with product
showcases and a forum to voice your opinion for direction, ask
questions and compare notes with others.
We still have a long way to go. Next on the horizon we have
the issue of accreditation, LIXI specific training courses and
new working groups that are waiting to tackle the next piece
of the puzzle.
Any person will tell you that using enthusiasm as a metric
for success when something new is formed is not necessarily
a good indicator. Sustaining enthusiasm over a number of years
though is the best indicator for success. Browse through the
members listing on the last page and you will be amazed. I certainly
was.
