    Episode 6 - Celebrating LGBT+ History Month

    Episode 6 - Celebrating LGBT+ History Month

    In this special episode of The GRID Podcast, we celebrate LGBT+ History Month.
    The theme this year is The Arc is Long, which is taken from a Martin Luther King Jnr speech from 1968, in which he says, “The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long, But it Bends Toward Justice”, reminding us that change, while it may take a long time, will happen.
    Exploring the meaning behind that quote and where the reinsurance and insurance industry is today in its journey towards true inclusion for the LGBT+ community is LCP Partner Catherine Drummond who joins us for this special episode.
    As well as being the founder of LCP’s LGBT+ network, Cat also sits on the Senior Advisory Board to LINK, the insurance industry’s LGBTQ+ network, and is a mental health first aider.

    Episode 5 - Technology adoption and "the evolution or revolution?"

    Episode 5 - Technology adoption and "the evolution or revolution?"

    In this episode of The Global (Re)insurance and Insurance Download (GRID) our expert panel focuses on technology. As an industry, we’re often lampooned for our lack of adoption of technology. Characterised as an industry where brokers carry leather-bound binders, beholden to physical inky stamps and fax machines, it’s fair to say we’re still seen as behind the times. 
    But those in the industry will know we’re slightly more sophisticated these days. Multiple efforts to move to electronic placing are finally gaining traction, enhanced by the enforced remote working nature of the past 18 months. 
    But is it more accurate to say we've undergone a technological evolution, rather than a revolution?
