David can guide your senior management’s thinking in the crucial area of digital development and all of the complexities bridging from it. He can expertly assess your current approach to innovation and recommend bespoke enhancements to gain maximum business value, by considering and working through all aspects of this area, such as:

• How do the stated values of your organisation translate into reality?
• What is your context for change?
• Digital disruption and emerging technologies.
• Disrupting forces & restraining forces.
• Trends affecting consumers, companies and insurers, and where you sit within this.
• Changing business models and resulting priorities.
• Rise of InsurTech – many wide ranging and business-specific examples.

• How to best navigate through uncharted waters to become uniquely better.
• Overcoming challenges to change.
• Investor support and ROI.

Ultimately, whilst David understands that embracing digital development is an urgent factor for organisations operating in today’s fast-changing business environment, he believes retaining and recognising a strong human element is key.

“Digital for competitiveness, efficiency, and reach. Human where it counts.”
