Episode Synopsis

I knew when we were preparing that this episode was going to be great...and the recording did not let us down.  When one is lucky enough to have Dr. Hayley Maynard, Strategy at Chaucer Syndicates, and George Beattie, the Head of Incubation Underwriting at Beazley & Co. together on a show, the only result could be magic...even if they are decidedly not wizards.
There was so much ground to cover, that we went as far back as The Code of Hammurabi.
Some of the other topics we covered:

The foundation and the Legend of Lloyd's
Insurance subscription
The caliber of the underwriters in the Lloyd's Market
The rollout of Lloyd's Product Launchpad
Conference-level chat that never really changes
Risk transfer versus risk management
Gaia - a new way to pay for IVF
Spending time solving problems that don't really matter
Building products with your customers
The buyer urgency created by specific problems
Innovation and controlled experiments
Connecting the Launchpad to the Lab
A shout-out to Tom Hoad - OIF

Some of the other titles we considered for this episode:

It Started Out as a Coffee Shop
Coming Up With Solutions for Complex Risk
It’s a Very Positive but Properly Cynical Environment
We Triage Quickly
George Brings the Brains, I Bring the Jokes
This Is a Voluntary Democracy
Innovation Isn’t Just About Products
