I recently attended the Connect Media Consulting’s excellent Global CIO Banking Summit where I ran a think tank challenge entitled “25th May 2018 – Strategies for the Future”. Completely fed up with only hearing about GDPR being a boring compliance challenge, I was pleased to lead this and discover the potentially very positive outcomes possible through GDPR. Here is the article with the key outputs. Hope you enjoy it !   Continue reading “GDPR – A compliance task or a positive business opportunity ?”

I recently attended Connect Media Consulting’s European Digital Insurance Summit. This year’s event brought together over 50 senior insurance thought leaders, and its innovative and interactive nature (think tank challenges, working groups, and case study sessions) created lively and challenging debate about the future of digital insurance in an era of digital disruption. So what are the key challenges and opportunities that senior leaders in the industry face today? Here is a summary of my top three takeaways.   Continue reading “The Perfect Storm – Digital, Data and Changing Business Models”

Privileged to be the key note speaker at the Disruptive Technologies in Insurance Conference in Johannesburg today – great event by Vukani Communications – with lots of insightful discussion about understanding technology disruption but importantly also how to best navigate this as an insurer/broker. Lots of great innovations and InsurTech start ups covered today, such as DMWay.com, Floodflash, VisionTrack, Neos, Flock, StreamCentral and even the just announced Tesla Semi truck. So much going on !

The Future of General Insurance conference is happening in London, 7-8 November and I will be with the Sapiens team to discuss their enhanced general insurance offering.

This year’s event promises to have a broader collection of insurance innovators than ever before. If you are among the 400+ speakers and delegates from all over Europe that will be in attendance, come over and grab me at booth #7.

As I chair the Sapiens P & C User Group, I am very pleased that Sapiens have really listened and been busy enhancing their general insurance platform. The Sapiens IDIT suite now features; elasticsearch capabilities; a pre-integrated, full digital suite with customer and agent portals; embedded DevOps and more. I particularly like the new GDPR functionality (closely teamworked with many Sapiens clients).

Looking forward to catching up over the next couple of days !

Excellent day at the Intelligent InsurTECH Europe conference in London – speaking on the need for more agile data analytics capabilities and less reliance on scarce Data Scientists. Great interview with Karen Foreman on the practical lessons on using data to drive the right business outcomes. Well done to Elsa Costa, MBA and team at the Intelligent Insurer for hosting a very informative and thought provoking event. 

​Over the last two days I attended the Smart Summit in London. When I saw what was on the near horizon for the Smart Home, I remembered my recent ride in a Tesla – a real paradigm shift in customer experience, especially when the self drive button was pressed ! Tesla is here and now, the connected home is fast approaching – both have radical implications.

My key takeaways were:   Continue reading ““Stopping the bad stuff from happening” – The future of Insurance with IOT Smart H​”
