International Insurance Society - Taiwan

Attended the IIS meeting this week in Taiwan. Pictured with me are (Left) Tsukasa Makino, Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Company and Francis Chung, ACORD's Asia-Pacific representative. Francis is originally from Hong Kong, lives in Vancouver and works in China on ACORD projects and activities. This meeting in Taiwan allowed us to meet many executives from the region. Makino is a key player from Japan who has been extremely involved in industry activities and standards for many years.

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.
