ACORD in Australia

One of the interesting occurrences over the past ten years has been the participation of new markets and geographies in ACORD. Yes, our work in the United States continues, but others are looking to capitalize on the progress in this evolving global marketplace. I remember having a meeting with a group of independent agents from the USA held in my office in London. It didn't take long for everyone to realize that the value chain is long and deep. We all interact with each other in one way or another. Silo's aren't bad thing as long as they can be connected. And the similarities among the various markets is rather obvious. Ther bottom line is that the value of ACORD Standards increases exponentially with adoption, no matter where it happens. Download Insurance and Risk Professional

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.
