I think we are all starting to wonder about the future of insurance. In recent years it has evolved to a point where there is less face-to-face contact and more automation. People often buy cover direct without thinking about whether the cover is best for them. So many people rely on the...

Call centre challenges which insurance companies, large and small, faced during the early weeks of the pandemic are still being felt today. Some have dealt with the situation making sure staff and customers have been valued and listened to, some have really struggled. “I have spent 11 hours...

When I train people on designing services, I often find they don’t understand what is meant by “stress testing”. Well, we are seeing a great example of the value of stress testing in our daily lives right now! Put simply stress testing means looking at how you will continue to provide service...
