Roundtable on Globalization

After the ACORD Board meeting in Munich, we hosted a roundtable of industry executives to discuss the globalization of industry standards. Discussions focused on activities in various regions any among other standards and trade organizations. The bottom line was to cooperate and collaborate as we have much in common.

New Book

My latest book presents the challenges members face when adopting industry standards as well as the opportunities that come as a result. It features my discussions with many people over many years and follows the foundation I set in my first book "The Business Information Revolution".

Industry standards are never adopted in a vacuum. They become part and parcel of all the trials and tribulations managers face in their day to day work. ACORD Standards are always part of a larger software development project that brings along people, priorities and politics. Adopting industry standards isn't simple, but the benefits far outweigh the problems of building and maintaining proprietary alternatives.

I trust that you will appreciate my frankness, identify with some of the challenges and learn from what others have done to pave the way.
