Human V Automated Decision-Making: Have We Gone Too Far?
We have reached a critical crossroads in the digitisation and automation of processes within insurance and financial services. Some say that we have already gone too far and the human element is being continuously eroded, whereas others believe we have not gone far enough and that insurance and financial services continue to lag behind other professions. There is a fine balance to be struck.
This session is a pre-seminar webinar for our Flagship event "The Evolving Workplace in the 21st Century" happening on Thursday 9 October, Novotel, Leeds.

Storytelling for Business
Using stories in our communication: whether it be speaking, written or using social media, is a powerful way to engage and influence your audience. It ensures your messages are memorable and ‘stick’. They are particularly powerful when sharing complicated or technical information.
This session explains the science behind storytelling; how to structure stories for the maximum power and when to use them.

Precision planning & protection perfection
How well are your clients able to articulate their financial goals?
When did you last go back to basics and consider how protection features in your clients’ plans?
