As young babies we are all born creative, and that creativity grows and flourishes as we enter into childhood. Yet somehow that creative mindset often gets lost as we go through the standard educational and growing process and transition into adulthood. Murilo Gun, comedian, creativity speaker and founder of Keep Learning School will blend humor with business as he explains why creative thinkers are such a vital part of an organization that wants to grow and innovate, and more importantly how you can begin to reconnect with your inner creative self!

What does customer centricity mean for the financial services industry? Clearly, companies looking to pursue the benefits of improved customer experience face unique challenges in a “sold not bought” industry where there is often infrequent interaction with the end user, and no real consensus on who the customer even is. This session draws on recent LIMRA research and assessments of the prospects for customer experience management in our industry. Reviewing current company practices will provide a framework for formulating needed strategy to guide companies as they venture down the path to customer-centricity.

The Life Insurance industry is one of the slowest when it comes to business transformations, but it is set to become one of the most disrupted in the coming decade. And this comes despite research that shows the most fundamental challenge for Life Insurers is it’s ‘lowest touchpoints per customer during the lifecycle’ of any industry. Amidst rapidly changing customer demographics and lifestyles, and a landscape beginning to see ‘born-digital’ or ’InsurTech’ competitors, traditional Life Insurance companies have a major challenge of staying relevant and competitive while gaining leadership positions in this new industry structure. Join us to understand the digital and business transformations taking place in the Life Insurance industry to chart your course for the future.

Is the motivation to shop for life insurance the result of careful deliberation of the pros and cons and a rational consideration of risk? The field of behavioral economics suggests otherwise. Instead, like most human behavior, consumer receptivity to life insurance is likely driven by quick, automatic responses. Come hear the results of research in which LIMRA turned to the subconscious for some answers:
- How do consumers really feel about life insurance ownership?
- What emotional benefits do people want from life insurance?
- What type of messaging might increase their likelihood to purchase the product

We are living in a world that is transforming at an unprecedented rate. One area that is changing the most, and with the greatest impact on our lives, is the world of work. The company as we know it is deconstructing before our eyes, and organizations are facing unprecedented challenges to attract, retain and develop talent that keeps them competitive. At the same time, technological advancements in areas such as artificial intelligence and robotics are making current "job descriptions" obsolete as entire professions disappear, and people are being pushed to develop new skills that fit in with new job roles that come along with these changes. How are we reacting to these new challenges in the world of work? And what can we do to better prepare ourselves and our organizations?
