What I Learned About Agility from a Construction Company

From the moment a work crew from STS Construction (STS) showed up at my house until the whole project was finished almost a year later, I witnessed and participated in some of the best Scrum I have seen. Even though STS had never heard of Scrum and would not have known what the term meant, the company had come up with a way of working that was Scrum. Not only was I impressed by the tactical scrum onsite, but when I learned how STS did its project management and scheduling, I was equally impressed by its strategic scrum working habits. This Executive Update discusses the primary Scrum patterns and practices I saw in STS’s work that helped make our home remodel a success. (Not a client?

Connected Insurance: Delivering Value with a Customer-Centric Approach

Connected insurance, enabled by big data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI), is disrupting a major industry that is traditionally resistant to change. Insurance technology — or insurtech — is a vast field and incorporates the interconnected landscape of connected insurance with its three pillars: health, car, and home. Microinsurance comes as a transversal opportunity that can help close the protection gap on the one hand and allow carriers to propose customer-centric products and services aligned with client expectations and behavior on the other hand.
