Last week Lloyd’s of London confirmed that the re-platforming element of its flagship Blueprint Two initiative - aiming to digitise the London Market - will not be delivered before 2028. In response, Guidewire Software London Market Director Jamie McDonnell said that the announcement has provided “certainty” to the sector: “Certainty that market-wide modernisation initiatives are, by their very nature, often hampered by their sheer complexity and the pace at which all participants are able to move. For genuine pioneers, simply waiting for these collective endeavours to take effect is no longer a viable strategy. Instead, this postponement should be regarded as a clear and powerful call to action for insurers to step up the pace of their own transformation journeys and take command of their future.” You can read more reaction from Jamie and other key industry figures in this Insurance Times article: https://lnkd.in/eEzbUWgF More information about Guidewire's platform for the London Market can be found here: https://lnkd.in/ehYv3jTT
