Camelot: creating connections, releasing potential

6 years ago, my vision was to create an incredibly powerful and extensive network of change leaders from across the insurance spectrum – all sitting around King Arthur’s (virtual) round table helping each other succeed and drive the insurance industry forward….the Camelot Network was born. We started with former C-Suites/Snr Managers who were now independent advisors with “been there and done it” expertise and then we grew to include an impressive range of solution providers offering the latest solutions, tech, data and innovative thinking. This year we expanded to welcome insurers, MGAs, Brokers and Insurtechs to come on board as members of Camelot – thereby creating an active and purpose driven Camelot Marketplace – where anyone who has a business challenge can easily find someone to help them solve that problem.

On 13th December at our Camelot Connect event in the very prestigious Livery Room of the London Guildhall, Camelot is gathering to celebrate the transformational progress we have all made in realising this vision.

If you are from an Insurer, MGA or Broker, then we would love you to join us at this defining event and find out why we firmly believe there is not a single business problem across the insurance spectrum that cannot be solved by the diverse members of Camelot. We are also really pleased that Peter Blanc (Head of M&A, Howden Group Holdings) will be our Keynote speaker, sharing his insights on the future of insurance in 2024. Come, learn, be inspired, connect with the extensive Camelot community and join the celebration 🙂

Camelot: Creating Connections, releasing potential

“We’re new to insurance and it’s so complicated…”

Ever found yourself wondering….

If a cat loss is to do with pet insurance ?
What on earth does MGA, GWP or IBNR mean?
Why do Insurers use a Re-Insurer?
You hear about COR improving, but have no idea of the relevance…has someone been doing a lot of sit ups?

The wonderful and rather complicated world of insurance is full of these expressions and acronyms.  At Camelot we have developed an “Insurance 101” half day training workshop designed for teams new to the insurance world – to help get them up to speed as quickly as possible and maximise their chance of success.

So, if you want to understand why you can no longer get coffee from Edward Lloyd, why mutuals have members, and why digital is the dream – we can explain everything 🙂

Contact me david.clamp@thecamelotnetwork.com for more information and let’s get your team insurance savvy.

If you can create a culture where innovation is recognised, then you onto a winner, but unless you capitalise on that grassroots innovation, you won’t have the right results.” 

🔵 Last week, The Camelot Network’s in-house #innovation expert Harvey Wade hosted an excellent Innovation Hour, featuring Chris Dexter!

Chris is VP of Customer Experience at Cisco– a company all about innovation – and he shared how they are using automation to solve complex problems and deliver a better and faster service to customers. From his world of #technology, we were able learn how to implement and encourage innovation across the #insuranceindustry.

Our experts discovered:

🤔It all starts with being curious about how to make it better and tapping into that intellectual curiosity.
🪂Leaders need to take risks to make their business better, there’s more risk in doing nothing.
🤖How automation can make your employees more productive – but most importantly – more engaged as it enables them to do more interesting and rewarding work.
🎉 How to encourage innovation from your most junior staff, at the ‘grassroots level’ by placing equal value on work and innovating the work.

This was a fantastic conversation – thank you, Harvey and Chris 🙏!

The Camelot Network loves to help entrepreneurs…in this case Richard Lawrence founder of City Bouldering (a stone’s throw from the City). A really fun afternoon crafting out innovative team-building offerings for the corporate world.
