An exclusive, invite-only roundtable for insurance sector leaders, focusing on practical AI implementation and operational modernisation.

Facilitated by Matt Pasterfield, this will be a relaxed, Chatham House rules discussion combined with a wine-tasting experience.

We're excited to invite you to an exclusive Roundtable designed specifically for insurance sector leaders. This unique event brings together senior technology & operations executives to discuss the practical realities of implementing AI and modernising operations - without the usual hype or vendor pitches.

As a leader in the insurance industry, you're navigating complex questions about how to move from AI experimentation to tangible business value, while modernising workflows without disrupting day-to-day operations. This roundtable is designed to facilitate honest, peer-to-peer conversations about what's actually working, what's not, and what's realistic for the next couple of years.

The discussion will cover:

• Where AI and automation are actually adding value in day-to-day insurance operations

• How insurers are modernising workflows and operating models without causing internal chaos

• The practical blockers leaders are encountering on both the technical and cultural fronts

• What "good" looks like in the next 2-3 years - not the next decade

This is a rare opportunity for insurance technology leaders to connect with peers facing similar challenges and share insights in a completely off-the-record environment. Facilitated by Matt Pasterfield, the session will be relaxed and conversational - no presentations, no sales pitches, just genuine exchange of experiences and strategies.

The roundtable will be held under Chatham House rules, allowing for open and frank discussion. To make the experience even more engaging, we'll be incorporating a wine-tasting element into the afternoon, creating an informal atmosphere that encourages genuine conversation.

With several CIOs, COOs and CDOs from leading insurers already expressing interest, this event is shaping up to be a must-attend for senior technology leaders in the insurance sector who want to move beyond the hype and tackle the real challenges of digital transformation.
 

Don't miss this opportunity to shape the future of insurance technology with your peers!

Why Your Fix Made It Worse with Neil Walker

• Agile
• Programme
• Project Delivery

You spotted the problem. You chose an intervention. Things got worse.
Not because the intervention was wrong in theory, but because the diagnosis was.
Neil Walker explores why the Agile industry built sophisticated treatments on top of amateur diagnostics, and what to do about it on Monday morning.

Neil Walker has spent 30 years recovering stalled transformation initiatives. Worked across organisations, from Barclays and Bank of England to UBS and UK Government. One of his core discoveries: most failures stem from diagnostic errors, not execution problems.
He developed the CIRCA-CLEAR meta-framework through 200+ implementations to address the gap between sensing something’s wrong and knowing what to do about it.
He joined NatWest’s first “Agile” team a decade before Agile had a name, helped transform a global services firm in the mid-2000s, applied it to revitalise a social care service, co-founded the Business Agility Institute UK, and recently published Thriving in Turbulence: The Misdiagnosis Stalling Your Transformation.
Still misdiagnoses regularly. Considers it a feature.
