Topic: Evolution requires agility
If one were to consider comparing players in the insurance industry to boxers, a traditional player would be considered the champion boxer edging closer to retirement and the insure-tech player would be the youthful challenger to the title. The challenger has speed, enthusiasm, bravado and energy on their side. The champion has experience, determination, muscle memory and a culture of winning. Should they battle it out, it will be glorious to watch and hard to determine who will win. Now consider if they were to partner in training.Both would benefit immensely from the partnership if they were open to learning from each other. The key for the experienced boxer though is to become agile in order to keep the pace and my discussion will focus on agility.
