Consulting Expertise

Despite all of the articles and books on the topic, companies today are no more effective at delivering on large-scale change initiatives than they were 20 years ago. In a recent survey, 70% of the companies said their change management initiatives did not deliver the expected results. That success rate was unchanged from similar surveys conducted in the 1980's and 1990's. And the environment for change is only getting more complex.  Read more .......

E-accounting ACORD Club panel discussion
Wednesday, 22 April 2009

The last ACORD club meeting was a panel debate on e-Accounting. A couple of what I considered to be interesting points emerged that I thought I would share my thoughts on. The first was raised by Dan Lott of LIBM who expressed the opinion that there were four tiers of organisations within the London Market: Tier one were the larger players who have both the resources and the desire to push forward market reform. They tend to have representation on the various committees and are very engaged; Aon are a great example. Tier two is those organisations who have the resources but not the inclination, for what ever reason, to get involved in market reform. Next comes tier three (where Dan saw LIBM) that have the desire and inclination to get involved, but not the resources. Tier four has neither the resources nor the inclination. Dan felt that there is frustration among the tier three that the various reform programmes do not take into account the reality of their available resources.

IT Outsourcing Contracts Merit Review Given Scandal At Indian Firm
Tuesday, 17 February 2009

In the wake of the financial scandal at Indian IT services firm Satyam Computer Services Ltd , customers of any IT outsourcer that runs into trouble should consider renegotiating their IT outsourcing contract, and make sure they have the documentation and staffing needed to take their business elsewhere, experts said this week
Even if a crisis is limited to one provider, CIOs with any outsourcing contracts have work to do, experts said, to make sure their projects or levels of service are uninterrupted. With some significant insurance organisations now turning to outsourcing (ACE being the most recent example) I thought it interesting to replay the advice being put out as a result of the Satyam situation.

Business Process Improvement Tops CIOS' 2009 Agenda
Tuesday, 17 February 2009

According to a new report from Gartner Inc, a US based consultancy, enterprise IT budgets in 2009 are nearly flat, and CIOs must drive business process improvement while creatively using existing resources to advance their organizations' agendas.
Gartner has released the results of its 2009 CIO Agenda survey, which took the pulse of more than 1,500 US CIOs between Sept. 15 (just as news of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s bankruptcy filing broke and stock markets subsequently tumbled) and Dec. 15, 2008.

Lloyd's Strategic Plan 2009 -2012
Wednesday, 14 January 2009

In the ‘Lloyd’s Strategic Plan’ document issued recently by Lloyd’s, section 5 – ‘Operating Environment’ was the one I found the most interesting simply because it encompasses Scyllogis’ area of operation, namely the utilisation of technology to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the insurance organisation. To put this into context, early in the document the following two issues were set out:
