Standards in the Netherlands

I had the pleasure of talking to Niels Mourits, Director of Holland's broker association and Chairman of the Dutch standards body SIVI. One of my long time priorities has been to maintain an open channel of communication with all insurance and related standards organizations around the world. We all serve the same members in many cases and we all do the same kind of work. There is much we can do to help each other. Niels and I are in synch.

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.
