You want to be the best in your industry. The leader. The disrupter. Maybe you just want to think like a disrupter so you can understand the risk industry disruption poses to your organisation. No matter the reason, there is a question of capability.

You see, thinking like a disrupter is a mindset. And for traditional organisations it requires a mindset shift. To get you thinking, I recommend you watch this video or read the transcript.

For insurance carriers, automation can be a dangerous game as customers demand both a frictionless, automated claims process and access to understanding claims handlers. How do you find the right balance?

With chatbots at FNOL, image analytics estimating damage more accurately than any human, and complex claims being fast-tracked to claims adjusters, virtual claims handling delivers the efficiency that customers expect with the empathy customers need. Join our panel of experts as they share insig

Green-lipped mussel is a nutritional supplement from a New Zealand-native variety of mussels. It contains omega-3 fatty acids with properties that are anti-inflammatory and joint-protective. Evidence suggests that if taken with paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), it may be of some use to people with osteoarthritis. It is not effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

The difference between standard fish oil and green-lipped mussel oil

You have likely heard of the dangers of using unsecure public Wi-Fi, so you know that hackers are out there snooping. It is pretty easy to hack into a laptop or mobile device that is on a public Wi-Fi connection with no protection. Hackers can read your emails, steal passwords, and even hijack your website log ins.

Let’s imagine that you are in a local coffee shop with your laptop. All someone has to do is download a wireless network analyzer, which usually has a free trial, and with the right ha

There can be many benefits when it comes to going into partnership for a business. Two minds means more ideas for your business and the potential to grow even more. If the partner is a close friend, it can also be fun to work with them. Partnerships tend to be quite popular in corporate and professional service businesses.

Unfortunately, there can also be downfalls when getting into partnerships. Even if the partner is someone that you trust highly, disputes can be rather unexpected in business p

As the grid modernises, the design of utility cybersecurity solutions need to be rethought to defend against the evolving capabilities of potential attackers. A huge difficulty lies in the selection process of available technologies. This comes with the bigger challenges of implementing and operating these new technologies to harmonise with existing internal utility services. As a result, Smart Grid Forum’s Smart Grid Cybersecurity 2020 conference has been created to solve the strategic, applica

With 90% of carriers actively investing in new data projects, project failure is not an option.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have become mainstays in the insurance industry, equipping insurance companies with tools that can help them to become more efficient and profitable than ever before. But with the stakes so high, carrier executives are immobilized - the volume of cutting-edge data sources has exploded and the vast majority won’t implement a project if they’re not

There is an adage that attack is the best form of defence. I’m very sure it applies when it comes to disruption.

The demand for bakery processing equipment will witness growth, but the management of waste in the food production line is a major challenge for the industry. Equipment that does not work efficiently may result in burnt, undercooked or even over-mixed food, ultimately generating waste.

It is also a major limitation in achieving the level of quality on the production floor. Furthermore, the use of sub-standard equipment results in poor-quality food being produced. For the bakery processing equipme

Technological innovation and intensifying competition are forcing leaders to rethink how they use Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to manage and direct organizations.  Digitization has reinforced the importance of Key Performance Indicators not only in enhancing employee performance but driving the overall organizational productivity.

The role of KPIs is becoming more dynamic.  KPIs are getting demonstrably flexible, smarter, and valuable in achieving strategic advantage.  Leading technology-dri

Creating a culture that measures productivity objectively is a sensitive matter. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are being employed extensively by organizations across the globe to monitor and track performance.  KPIs provide valuable metadata to improve top-down and bottom-up vertical efficiency.

Analytics-driven firms are aware that KPIs are much more than a tool to evaluate performance.  Utilizing KPIs, they gather valuable insights, create enterprise-wide accountability, and develop a goal-

We easily live in one of the most exciting eras ever. The rapid pace of technological development we have experienced has went beyond anything that used to be possible. If you go back a century, the pace completely changes. Think about it – there would be a new notable technology maybe once a decade. The reason progress was so slow is simple – everything had to be done manually. All the calculations had to be done by hand, all the products had to be made either by hand or measured by hand to ens

The automotive sector is on the cusp of a huge wave of change, rivalled only by historic moments such as Ford Model Ts rolling off the construction line or the deep-seated impact of the 1973 oil crisis. This time, however, it is not just one technological frontier disrupting the sector, but multiple innovations that are already making their mark.

Insurance Nexus by Reuters Events have produced the Connected Auto Insurance 2020 report to make sure Auto insurance businesses; personal or commercial,

Project portfolio management is not a new phenomenon. We all do it as technology executives, and we're likely to be good at it based on traditional norms. The environment of project management has been constantly evolving. Given how market fluctuations control people, processes, and projects, the introduction of a new strategy for project execution is equivalent to stabbing uncertainty.

The term: Project portfolio management

Project portfolio management is the art and science of making investment

By increasing the number of logic gates per chip, the ASIC chip technology reduced the size of electronic products. The market has time and again witnessed the advent of various types and configurations of IC's. When we look around, we note that some ICs can only be used for one particular application, while some ICs can be reprogrammed and used for different applications.

All you need to know about an ASIC chip

Does industry disruption disturb or excite you? Before you answer, consider this. Innovation is not disruption. Disruption is much, much, much bigger. Disruption turns an industry on its head. It creates massive shifts in markets, in how work is done and even if it is done.

Last blog I wrote about that feeling of being like a deer caught in headlights. I said that it was your job to get your colleagues moving from Assessment to Investment (or divestment) to Execution. Alternatively, I could have

Integrating ESG factors into investment decision making is no longer optional, it’s a must. Larry Fink’s recent letter to CEOs re-iterated that long-term decision-making is at the forefront of client demands. The talk has shifted to real investment action.

The Global Sustainable Investment alliance has valued sustainable investments as over $30trn, a 34% surge since 2016 with no sign of slowing down.

However – investors and asset managers still lack critical data, and ESG factors still are suscept

In today’s hyper-connected digital age, it’s not unusual for medium to large-sized companies to have hundreds, or even thousands, of third-party suppliers.

This can range from product suppliers, to billing processors, to cloud providers, and a variety of different services.

This large volume of suppliers can pose a challenge for Chief Security Information Officers (CISO) to properly manage risk, especially when personal or confidential data is shared.

A Risky Misconception – Understanding Supplier

The insurance industry is facing the challenges of disruption caused by the technological advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Insurance carriers are now able to know more about their customers than ever before. They can use data mining with AI and ML to develop compelling product offerings. Customers may enjoy a more personalized experience that has faster and more accurate claims processing capabilities resulting in vastly improved customer service.
