The Golden Thread draws together our broadest thought leadership articles that overarch any one theme. This is an evolving journey, looking at the developing role of insurance in society.

When we published our scenario planning tools in 2020, one of the key objectives of our thought leadership was to focus on critical uncertainties – those potentially disruptive challenges that loom on the far horizon of everyday business but have the potential to fundamentally reshape the world of insurance.

Today, many of those distant uncertainties are in fact part of our day-to-day life. Artificial intelligence, the rise of political violence, the pressures of social inflation, extreme natural catastrophes and the need to prioritise mental health are now critical certainties. The impact extends to all boardroom agendas as resulting new regulations increase the responsibility placed on business leaders.

This rapid pace of change may create new uncertainties. Our aim is to provide the insights to face such challenges and opportunities with confidence.
