Today's podcast is one of the most eclectic and far-reaching I have produced since founding the Voice of Insurance over four years ago. And that is entirely down to today's guests. Ian Summers Global Business Leader of AdvantageGo (pictured top) is a well-known figure to anyone who has worked in the Global Insurance Market and has a full career of pioneering market modernisation behind him from within the market as Global Information Officer at Aon and serving the market at major Software companies. And if were possible, Bill Pieroni (pictured bottom) has had an even more all-encompassing career to date than Ian. Starting outside the industry at top consultancies, a senior role at State Farm and five years as Global Chief Operating Officer at Marsh followed. For the last eight years Bill has headed up global insurance data standards body ACORD. But if you thought that meant our chat would be limited to global data standards, you'd be completely wrong At their core what Bill and Ian do is provide the tech and the utilities to help insurance get on and do what it does best. Bill and Ian have only been so successful so far because they understand the industry inside and out and that means this podcast is far more wide-reaching than you would imagine. For instance, you wouldn't expect tech experts to commission a historical study on the efficacy of M&A for the insurance industry, would you? But these two have, principally because they are so embedded into the sector that their level of understanding matches most of the most seasoned Executives and analysts. So get ready for a real feast. The winners and losers in insurance M&A, really-detailed insights into the best applications for Artificial Intelligence, the real reason why insurance is so hard to transform and the prospects for the London Market if its latest digital reforms are successful are all to come. And the style of delivery may surprise you. If Ian is a strong and forthright character, Bill is almost off the charts in the energy and passion that he brings to this discussion. I had a real blast and learnt a huge amount. Listen on and so will you. NOTES: The M&A study we discuss can be downloaded here. I highly recommend a read – it's fascinating stuff (and could potentially save you $billions!)

Here's a question. What kind of company are you building? This week's guests are Karl Lieberman and Neal Arthur. They are respectively the Global Chief Creative Officer and Global Chief Operating Officer of Wieden + Kennedy. Few companies have reached the creative heights of Wieden + Kennedy. None, that I can think of, have sustained those heights for most of the last forty years. Neal and Karl stepped into their global roles seven months after the beginning of the pandemic. How do you lead a culture opposed to rules through a time when there are no rules? Leaders of creative businesses are usually adventurers. They relish the fact that accepting the ambiguous and the unknown are lines 1 and 2 in the job description. But as human beings we are all comforted by the familiar and the known. Even the adventurers eventually turn for home. And yet, if your goal as a leader is to meet the future in a fair fight, then welcoming ambiguity and uncertainty are no longer enough. Turning for the safety of home will leave you behind. Creativity is the world's most powerful force. It's time to build flexible businesses that unleash it. It's time for leaders to let creativity loose. Here are Karl Lieberman and Neal Arthur.

Duke Long Commercial Real Estate With A Little Attitude Podcast
What if real estate professionals have not only access to data but what if that data is made available in a manner as user-friendly as possible? What if real estate teams could communicate across a portfolio no matter where they were located? The current wave of CRE tech provides infinite data but data is just data if you can’t derive insights and drive value. Where is next wave of CRE tech going and how will it help unlock hidden value in data-driven organizations?

We bring this week’s #MediaSnack from Cannes in the South of France where David and Tom are attending the annual Festival of Creativity, which gathers some of the world’s leading marketers and executives from the world’s leading agencies and vendors. It was historically an advertising festival but in the last decade has been overrun somewhat by big spending media and technology companies. We broadcast from the beachside Cabana of the International Advertising Association (IAA), the sun is shining and the dark clouds that had been gathering over the media industry recently have definitely been left at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pREKAnwlqo This allows for more positive, collaborative and unguarded conversations on the sensitive issues facing the industry. We highlight the important role Cannes plays to bring together the industry to celebrate good work (for only around 10% of the time) and engage in meaningful and different conversation with many different people you don’t typically get to talk with in the same way. We had the opportunity to talk with many senior client, agency and vendor leaders about the challenges and opportunities for the global media industry. #RebateGate was being talked about a lot, but the tone of the conversations has changed in most cases (thanks to Cannes), becoming less emotional and more open, sensible and rational. We announce the publication of the ID Comms 2016 Global Media Talent Report and talk to agency leader Toby Jenner, Global Chief Operating Officer of Mediacom about his agency’s approach to identifying, motivating and retaining the best industry talent. We discuss some of the findings and consider the current state of advertisers’ media capabilities and how that might need to evolve over time. http://idcomms.com/global-media-talent-report/ Finally we discuss the launch of the largest UK media review of the year. Communications groups BT and EE merged in early 2016 and currently split their media planning and buying across two GroupM companies (Maxus and MEC respectively). The combined account is worth £160m in billings and will be a big prize for the winner. We understand giants WPP, Publicis and Omnicom have been invited to fight it out.
