ACORD Standards in China

I met with Wang Zhichao, Secretary General of the China Insurance Industry Standardization Technology Committee this morning in Beijing. My purpose was to update the new Secreatry General on ACORD activities and provide our support to the report they are creating on ACORD. By year end, the CIISTC will publish a report on how they will use ACORD Standards and work with ACORD in the future. Today, the CIISTC has adopted LAH Standards for use in China. We are working on P&C projects with them as well.

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.
