This ensures pensions increase by the highest of inflation, earnings, or 2.5%. With inflation at 2.2%, the pension is set to rise by £460 a year. Lower wage growth is due to easing inflation and fewer public sector bonuses. Lenvi https://lnkd.in/e3XP73yP

LexisNexis Geospatial Risks has been developed to give smaller brokers the essential facts about the risk and characteristics of the properties for which they are seeking quotes in a very simplified and efficient way. This has multiple benefits – consumers will enjoy faster, more accurate quotes; insurance partners will have better visibility of the risks upfront; and brokers will be enabled to work more efficiently, enhance customer satisfaction and improve their insurer relationships

At Turnkey we are on a mission to change the way our industry is perceived. Being considered a 'blocker' by the business is not good enough - we need to engage the business on their terms, understand their strategic goals and determine how security and risk management can be an enabler to these. Who out there is already making progress towards this goal in their organisation? #BusinessPartnering

Attention all Finacial Advisors, please be aware that the wealth management firm, St James’s Place, now mandates Cyber Essentials Plus certification across its network of partner organisations. This looks like what will be the first of many requiring organisations to meet cyber security standards to protect businesses and their clients.

I have been doing some revision for a presentation i am giving regarding our Digital Asset Management Metro Map. In formulating this ⁹strategic approach to considering large scale digitally enabled transformation, a couple of years back we had guidance from the great folks at Public Digital and the experience they had gained whilst architecting the UK Gov's digital strategy. In their book "Digital Transformation at Scale: Why the Strategy Is Delivery" by Andrew Greenway, Ben Terrett, Mike Bracken, and Tom Loosemore, the authors provide practical recommendations for successfully implementing digital transformation in large organizations. These recommendations are drawn from their experiences with the UK Government Digital Service (GDS) and other large-scale digital initiatives. Here are the key steps crystallised by ChatGBT of the principles they advocate in their book for successful digital transformation: Each step is highlighted in a distinct color for clarity and emphasis. This visual can serve as a guide to understanding and implementing the key principles and actions necessary for effective digital transformation.

Keen to hear from my network how they are tackling security/governance of org data sent for inference from a LLM managed by hyperscale cloud providers. One thought is if the LLM is hosted within the cloud of a service provider, it ideally isn't an issue or is it? Let's start a conversation and exchange ideas! #security #governance #cloudproviders #datasecurity #AI #LLM
