Die Themen im heutigen Versicherungsfunk Update sind: BVK fordert Reformkurs der Bundesregierung Der BVK verbindet seine Erwartungen an die neue Bundesregierung mit konkreten Reformvorschlägen. In einem Leitantrag fordert der Verband u. a. den Erhalt des Provisionssystems, weniger Regulierung und eine grundlegende Reform der Altersvorsorge. Präsident Michael H. Heinz betont die Rolle der Vermittler als sozialpolitische Partner – insbesondere beim Aufbau nachhaltiger Vorsorgelösungen. BiPRO-Tag 2025: Digitalisierung und Standardisierung im Fokus Mit rund 470 Teilnehmenden war der BiPRO-Tag 2025 in Neuss ein voller Erfolg. Unter dem Motto „Gemeinsam. Digital. Zukunftssicher.“ diskutierten Branchenvertreter zwei Tage lang über Themen wie KI, Prozessautomatisierung, den BiPRO-Hub und neue Normen. Keynotes, Panels und ein interaktives Vermittlerforum lieferten Impulse für die digitale Zukunft der Assekuranz. Gerald Archangeli als BVK-Vizepräsident bestätigt Gerald Archangeli wurde auf der Jahreshauptversammlung des Bundesverbandes Deutscher Versicherungskaufleute (BVK) in seinem Amt als Vizepräsident bestätigt. Die Delegierten wählten ihn einstimmig für weitere vier Jahre. Archangeli kündigte an, sich weiter für Vermittlerqualifikation, internationale Verbandsarbeit und gegen Verschärfungen der Weiterbildungsverpflichtung einzusetzen. Cybercrime-Risiko: Deutsche Verbraucher und Unternehmen stark betroffen Laut einer neuen Studie von heyData war im vergangenen Jahr fast jeder zweite deutsche Verbraucher von Cyberangriffen betroffen. Der jährliche Durchschnittsschaden liegt bei 82 EUR pro Person. Gleichzeitig zeigen Eurostat-Daten, dass über ein Drittel der Deutschen sorglos mit sensiblen Daten umgeht. Auch Unternehmen geraten zunehmend ins Visier: 25 % meldeten sicherheitsrelevante IT-Vorfälle. Die Studienautoren fordern stärkere Schutzmaßnahmen bei Verbrauchern, Unternehmen und politischen Akteuren. „Der nachlässige Umgang mit persönlichen Daten in Kombination mit dem hohen Risiko unterstreicht, dass Verbraucher ihre digitalen Sicherheitsroutinen dringend verbessern müssen“, sagt Miloš Djurdjević, Mitgründer von heyData. Digitaler Euro: PwC-Studie warnt vor Milliardenkosten für Banken Eine PwC-Studie im Auftrag europäischer Bankenverbände zeigt: Die Einführung des digitalen Euro könnte Banken im Euroraum bis zu 30 Mrd. EUR kosten. Sparkassen und Genossenschaftsbanken kritisieren den fehlenden Kundennutzen und fordern mehr Mitsprache. Ohne praktischen Mehrwert drohten Innovationsprojekte blockiert und Ressourcen auf Jahre gebunden zu werden.

DescriptionIn this conversation with DESIGN:ED, architects Jack Becker and Andrew Linn of BLD.US discuss their material-driven design philosophy, emphasizing the use of natural, locally sourced materials that weather gracefully over time. They explore the importance of craftsmanship, adaptability in construction, and the influence of historic buildings on their work.

Big League Dreams Sports Park in Redding officially closed its doors on July 24, and the City of Redding is working to determine the best next steps.  At a special City Council meeting held on July 29th, the Redding City Council asked City staff for more information on what it would cost to run the facility both in the short- and long term in an effort to keep the current leagues in play. One thing is for sure: This facility is well-loved by many in the community, and there was a packed house in the city council chambers to prove it. However, there is no doubt that BLD needs some TLC. One estimate was nearly 8 million dollars in needed repairs and improvements.Today, we connect with Community Services director Travis Menne about the facility's history and future plans and asked just a few of the dozens of community questions posed online and at the special city council meeting.Read the transcript >>Contact the City of Redding Podcast Team Email us at podcast@cityofredding.org Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Visit the City of Redding website Love the podcast?

Son raisonnement repose sur une compréhension profonde des concepts plutôt que sur de simples associations statistiques. Il cherche activement à corriger les éventuels biais ou erreurs. Claude est polyvalent et peut s'adapter à différents styles de communication et niveaux de complexité selon le contexte. Il maîtrise de nombreux domaines académiques et scientifiques. Il est capable d'introspection sur ses propres processus de pensée et ses limitations. La vie privée et la confidentialité sont des priorités pour lui.

Until recently, one of the best ways to measure an email marketing campaign's effectiveness was the open rate metric. Then, in late 2021, came Apple's decision to introduce what it calls Mail Privacy Protection. It impacts anyone who opens their email on an Apple device.

Follow this metaphor...If your building materials brand is a top-performing automobile, the fuel that enables it to perform at high levels is the content you develop on behalf of that brand. You need to constantly fill the tank and ensure the fuel is mixed properly – blog posts, product features, thought leadership articles, infographics and more. That way, the engine of your brand continues to hum. But developing this quantity of original content is a heavy lift for any marketing team.
