(English below) Starten met AI als modebedrijf?💃🏼“Het hoeft geen big bang te zijn, maar je moet wel starten,” legt Kristel Lanjouw uit in FashionUnited. Wie zegt ‘retail is mensenwerk’ vindt in Lanjouw onverwachts een medestander. Retail is mensenwerk en AI maakt het werk van mensen juist beter en meer klantgericht, zo legt ze uit. “Je moet AI zien als een tool die alle saaie dingen en repetitieve dingen in iemands werk weg kan nemen, zodat diegene kan focussen op wat hij of zij leuk vindt en beter wil doen. Dat is wat mij betreft altijd consumer-facing.” Lees het volledige interview 👉 https://lnkd.in/dSzqU_-u #Fashion #AI #fashionindustry #GenAI - Starting with AI as a fashion company? 💃🏼 "It doesn't have to be a big bang, but you have to start," explains Kristel Lanjouw in FashionUnited. Those who say "retail is people work" unexpectedly find an ally in Lanjouw. Retail is people work, and AI actually makes people's work better and more customer-oriented, she explains. "You have to see AI as a tool that can take away all the boring and repetitive things in someone's work so that they can focus on what they like and want to do better. That's always consumer-facing as far as I'm concerned." Explore the full interview 👉 https://lnkd.in/dSzqU_-u (please note the article is in Dutch)

“Verzekeringen bestaan al eeuwen. Daarom hebben branchepartijen vaak het gevoel dat er amper nog ruimte is voor innovatie, maar ik denk niet dat dat waar is,” zegt Bart van de Laak. “De rode draad bij succesvolle bedrijven is wat mij betreft de focus op cultuur en innovatie. Technisch vooruitstrevend zijn en de mensen die met de techniek moeten werken trots en tevreden houden. Als die twee op één lijn liggen, dan merken je klanten dat ook direct.” Lees het volledige interview – https://lnkd.in/eb3iarbk - “Insurance goes back centuries. Therefore, parties often feel there’s no room for innovation, but I don’t think that's true,” says Bart van de Laak, former editor-in-chief at AMweb. “A common thread across successful companies is a strong, innovative technical focus on process as well as culture; you implement technical innovations and keep the people who work with that technology happy. When those two are aligned, your customers notice directly.” Read the full interview – https://lnkd.in/e-8eKdfd

(English below) Het consolideren binnen de verzekeringsbranche levert een steeds complexer IT-landschap, waarvan de knopen steeds lastiger te ontwarren zijn. Bijvoorbeeld: Een centraal klantbeeld ontbreekt, ziet Stephan De Jong van IG&H in AMweb. “Negen van de tien partijen erkennen dat ze niet weten of data van een klant in twee, vijf of tien van hun systemen zitten. Misschien heb je nog wel een verzekering lopen bij een partij die uiteindelijk door een andere verzekeraar waar je bent verzekerd wordt overgenomen. Dan krijg je dus communicatie op verschillende momenten en op uiteenlopende manieren. Amateuristisch en erg kostbaar.” Hoe nu verder? Ontdek hoe ‘loosely coupled architecture’ een aantal van deze knopen kan ontwarren 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEf2i7aD #verzekeringen - Consolidation within the insurance industry leads to an increasingly complex IT landscape whose knots are increasingly difficult to untangle. For example: A central customer view is lacking, observes IG&H’s Stephan De Jong in AMweb "Nine out of 10 parties acknowledge that they don't know whether a customer's data is in two, five or 10 of their systems. Maybe you still have insurance with one party that will eventually be taken over by another insurer where you are insured. So then you receive communication at different times and in different ways. Amateurish and very costly." How can the industry move forward? Discover how loosely coupled architecture can help untie some of these knots 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEf2i7aD #insurance (please note the article is in Dutch)
