ITI Europe 2023 in London 1-2 March
Camelot Curates – Weapons Of Math Destruction
This book clearly articulates the dangers of blindly applying Big Data and AI techniques to solve our challenges. It unearths the inherent risks of applying the outputs of a computer model without really thinking things through and importantly having very effective feedback loops to ensure algorithms learn and continue learning. Highly applicable to the insurance industry as we lean more and more on models to underwrite, price, evaluate claims and renew policies. This eye-opening, example-filled book is a must for anyone wanting to automate what we humans currently do. “The computer says…..don’t read this book….”
Insurtech Insights Europe 1 – 2 March 2023
I’m speaking at Insurtech Insights Europe 2023, see you there!
Insurer’s Cyber Risk and Insurance Innovation Europe (February 7)
I’m looking forward to speaking at Intelligent Insurer’s Cyber Risk and Insurance Innovation Europe (February 7). It’s set to be a fantastic event and I hope you can join me there! For more details on the agenda and speaker line-up, visit the event website here: https://bit.ly/3GYtDNK
The event will unite 150+ stakeholders for a productive discussion on the major concerns including cybersecurity risk assessment, underwriting challenges, growth opportunities and market cooperation. No other conference on the insurance calendar brings together so many cyber insurance risk experts to address a plethora of issues affecting policyholders, re/insurers, brokers, MGAs, industry bodies and solution providers.
The in-person event on February 7 will take place in London (at the America Square Conference Centre – Cavendish Venues) and will be a great opportunity to learn, network, and get new partnerships off the ground with senior cyber insurance experts.

Camelot: Creating Connections, releasing potential
I get a real buzz out of helping people understand insurance – this “Insurance 101” course is designed for new joiners to our amazing, but jargon filled and seemingly complex world of Insurance…contact me for more info.
“We’re new to insurance and it’s so complicated…”
Ever found yourself wondering….
If a cat loss is to do with pet insurance ?
What on earth does MGA, GWP or IBNR mean?
Why do Insurers use a Re-Insurer?
You hear about COR improving, but have no idea of the relevance…has someone been doing a lot of sit ups?
The wonderful and rather complicated world of insurance is full of these expressions and acronyms. At Camelot we have developed an “Insurance 101” half day training workshop designed for teams new to the insurance world – to help get them up to speed as quickly as possible and maximise their chance of success.
So, if you want to understand why you can no longer get coffee from Edward Lloyd, why mutuals have members, and why digital is the dream – we can explain everything 🙂
Contact me david.clamp@thecamelotnetwork.com for more information and let’s get your team insurance savvy.
Innovation Hour 18th November 2022
If you can create a culture where innovation is recognised, then you onto a winner, but unless you capitalise on that grassroots innovation, you won’t have the right results.”
🔵 Last week, The Camelot Network’s in-house #innovation expert Harvey Wade hosted an excellent Innovation Hour, featuring Chris Dexter!
Chris is VP of Customer Experience at Cisco– a company all about innovation – and he shared how they are using automation to solve complex problems and deliver a better and faster service to customers. From his world of #technology, we were able learn how to implement and encourage innovation across the #insuranceindustry.
Our experts discovered:
🤔It all starts with being curious about how to make it better and tapping into that intellectual curiosity.
🪂Leaders need to take risks to make their business better, there’s more risk in doing nothing.
🤖How automation can make your employees more productive – but most importantly – more engaged as it enables them to do more interesting and rewarding work.
🎉 How to encourage innovation from your most junior staff, at the ‘grassroots level’ by placing equal value on work and innovating the work.
This was a fantastic conversation – thank you, Harvey and Chris 🙏!
Insurance Innovators Conference, 16th November 2022 in London
Superb panel today at the Insurance Innovators Conference in London on the future and relevance of AI in Insurance for outstanding claims experiences. Great job Maxence Jeunesse Danny Hoskin Davide Burlon and Ellen Toback. Thank you !
Sesiro – a leading insurer in Botswana
It was a real privilege on Monday to host a delegation from a leading insurer in Botswana during their fact-finding visit to London.
We covered an overview of the UK Insurance market, key trends, and the rise of Insurtechs, as well as a tour around the City, taking in the Lloyd’s Lab and a tour of the Lloyd’s building.
Big thanks to Iryna Chekanava, Kieran Linger and Hélène Stanway – and of course the amazing delegation from Sesiro (Debswana) 🙂
David came highly recommended and proved within a very short time to possess a wealth of knowledge that is unmatched.
He shares it easily and has all the time to provide thought leadership for the ultimate success of clients and their companies.
My Board of Directors and Senior Leadership team remain in awe of Dave’s knowledge, customer centrism, his humility and overall commitment to ensuring future success and business resilience for clients.
Feedback from Ndiye Letsholathebe Senior Manager and Executive Head of Sesiro
Meet Zühlke in partnership with The Camelot Network, 18th October 2022
Really enjoyed moderating the expert panel this evening – kindly hosted by Zuhlke.
Big thanks to Hélène Stanway, President of The SENSE Consortium and Dan Klein, Head of Data and AI, Zuhlke.
We learnt how Zuhlke not only developed the NHS Covid app, but critically they created a “Digital Twin” of the UK – to simulate different lockdown scenarios, nudge people’s behaviour and influence Government policy. Big implications of insurance as we move towards not just lots more data, but critically we create feedback loops to influence behaviour and improve the profile of key risks…lots to digest.
