It's that time of year to reflect on the year that just passed us by in a what feels like a flash, mark my predictions from last year and throw some light on what I see 2017 holds in store for us all. In my post from this time last year (here) - I made a number of predictions, I wanted to recap on how I did. Feel free to jump in and see how close ...

Frictionless Insurance in a land of utility

Loic Le Muir who many will know from Le Web Conference and his new startupLeade.rs had a great interview with Alex Dayon, the President and Chief Product Officer at salesforce.com here about how owning a car is almost obsolete.

Insurance and the Internet of Things. What could go wrong?

Everything connected and yet nothing is connected. Depending on the day of the week, one of three buzz words that seems to be filling every single column inch, new product or solution and latest press release. To me these are, Digital (Insert anything here), Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT). It’s no surprise that it’s at the peak of Infla...

The Insurance Brand - Time for a Refresh?

Provocatively entitled: Imagine if Insurance Brands Started Marketing Like Red Bull It really got me thinking. I wanted to share my comments from the post too. Enjoy.

Watch out Apple Watch, 5 year old's are coming!

Watch out Apple Watch, 5 year old's are coming, with much bigger expectations! As a collector of all things gadgetry, it will be no surprise to many that know me well - in my kids Christmas stocking was something either technical or that made a noise. Now, like most parents we are super super cautious with these - leaving fine long standing friend...
