KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON
As we kick off the year, I would like to wish all our readers and corporate clients a prosperous year. May your batteries hold their charge much longer.
The increasing severity, frequency and wide impact of adverse global events have become a serious headache for everyone. Our own local woes, with load shedding, crime and unemployment set the stage for another year where agility and adversity management will be key to survival.
Our January issue is packed with interesting thoughts on the year to come, the challenges and the opportunities that we face. To get your year going and position you for success in the fast changing, ever more competitive environment, we have supercharged our Insurtech conference into a real TechFest, set to feature several interactive sessions over the next few months.
This one will equip you with lots of ideas on how to successfully participate in the digital evolution that is reshaping our industry. Free to attend, with 13.5 CPD hours up for grabs, this one is a must. Register here to make sure you are in on the action.
To infinity and beyond. Tony
