Last week I had the opportunity to participate in a masterclass with Paul Gow. Paul is a golf pro who is the golfing star (apologies to Andrew Daddo) of The Golf Show on Foxtel here in Australia. As a mid-handicap amateur golfer, I do my best year-on-year to improve my game. Some years are better than others. Yes, I have had 30-min lessons and each has made an immediate difference. However, a half-day masterclass was a whole different story. I experienced expertise.

Customer service has recently taken a central focus for insurance carriers. The exploits of digitally-native InsurTechs such as Metromile and Lemonade have demonstrated the appeal that personalized, seamless product offerings can create. In a 2019 Insurance Nexus survey, a majority of respondents felt that the customer experience would see the greatest impact from the implementation of AI.

Yet, while 2018 saw many legacy carriers conduct a host of pilot initiatives aimed at improving the customer

All about Subscription Model

A subscription model is based on the idea of selling a product or service to obtain monthly or yearly subscription revenue. The model primarily focuses on customer retention rather than customer acquisition. Essentially, subscription models pay attention to the way revenue is made, i.e., they look for ways in which a single customer pays multiple payments for prolonged access to a good or service.

I had two separate conversations last week about measures that don’t matter (much). One was with a client in the Not-for-Profit sector who needed to report “about a hundred” things to their regulator who are major funders of their programs.

The second was in my Group Mentoring Program on Friday morning where we were discussing my blog of a few weeks ago – Measure what Matters. In fact, we had my colleague Dr Andrew Pratley as a guest so we could explore the concepts in more depth within the group

As the plastic bottle industry shifts toward bio-based plastics, PEF is expected to be a game changer in the bottle industry. Several Tier-1 companies have publicly announced their ambitious goals to add substantial amount of PEF capacities in their product-line. As PEF is seen as a direct competitor for PET, industry experts believe that PEF has enough potential to replace PET in several applications, including bottle, films, and fibers. Companies such as Synvina, AVA-Biochem, and Corbion nv ha

Any industry involving wiring transfers of large sums of money is vulnerable to this new type of hack. Purchasing a car, home or piece of art are large transactions and are not usually done in cash. In well-established industries like real estate, there are some checks and balances, but while one would think it would be very tough to pull off this scam in real estate, it is just as easy. I do not know how many billionaire art collectors follow my blog (they should!), but most of you are regular

The global thermoelectric materials market is a highly-fragmented market, and the top five players comprised approximately XX% of the market share in 2017.

From day-to-day operations, to the very relationship between insurers and policy-holders, it is no exaggeration to say that connected insurance represents the biggest potential for transformation that insurance has witnessed since the invention of the computer. See, for example, the ability of an insurance carrier to react to live data, in real time, and prevent a loss from occurring. From simply mitigating the effects of a loss, they now become partners in risk-prevention.

Recently I have been blogging about Measures that Transform. Figure 1 outlines the journey you need to take to ensure you don’t have measures that hurt, that you move beyond measures that simply matter and that you have measures that transform. That is, you take a journey from motion to direction to transformation.

Motion – As with many decisions we often agree that something needs to be done and go straight into implementation mode. For example, Boards and their Executive usually agree the need
