The Digital Insurer is busy...
Current plans for the third quarter include:
  • A series of jointly authored articles on opportunities for non insurance companies to enter insurance in this new digital age
  • A guest author covering digital insurance skills and hopefully a couple more articles from guest authors (please let us know if you have an article that you would like to write)
  • Continued reporting on reports released that are of relevance to digital insurance in Asia
  • Building up a primary digital insurance research capability with the aim of creating a digital insurance library - an easy to access database of insurers' digital activities. To help cover costs this may need to be a fee based service - although sponsorship would be another option (we would love to hear from potential sponsors !)

Editorial

The launch of the Digital magazine was my personal highlight for the last quarter. Many insurers are starting to focus on how to use tablet toolkits to improve the advisory process and I have been very busy in this area from a consulting and implementation perspective.

The subscriber base to the Digital Insurer now exceeds 1,500 and registration will continue to remain open to all at no charge. A subscriber area has been introduced to provide exclusive content (simply login using your email address and password - on-line password retrieval is available).

I had the pleasure of giving three presentations last quarter: Next Bank Asia in HK, a banacassurance conference in KL and at an Allianz regional forum in Singapore. The presentations were all around the theme of using digital thinking to transform the face-to-face insurance advisory process.

The third quarter is quieter for speaking engagements- I have one keynote presentation hosted by IDC Financial Insights in September. I have also been asked to chair the "Tech Tuesday" session at this years Pacific Insurance Congress in Hong Kong in October (its 50th year!) - more details to follow as the speaker list is just being finalised.

Please continue to give your feedback, ideas and contributions to help develop the forum further.

Yours digitally
