After lunch I joined the Insurance track and listened to Don Light of Celent (who wrote this nice paper some time ago) and Mike Gordon of Fair Isaac. Mike started and his first slide was headlined “survival of the fittest” which seems like the right headline! There is clearly a lot on in insurance these [...]

I started with an interesting breakfast this morning with Ian Ayres and Larry Rosenberger. Ian is the author of Super Crunchers (reviewed here in the wiki) and Larry is a research fellow and ex-CEO of Fair Isaac.

Their mantra is Customer Experience Management and they aim to deliver an improvement [...]

I recently got a chance to speak with the CEO (Stan Nowak) and his team. Silverlink has 50 healthcare clients representing 150 million lives (including 9 [...]
