Contending that “it is difficult to be a one-man band in a mashed-up world,” ACORD President and Chief Executive Officer Gregory A. Maciag urged convention attendees here to be leaders and advocates in the ongoing insurance standards campaign “so that we can all make beautiful music together.”
In his speech at the opening general session of the recent ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum, Mr. Maciag emphasized the value of standards in improving efficiency, productivity and cost control, while conceding that significant barriers–behavioral as well as logistical and technological–must still be overcome to achieve universal implementation.
“In some instances, we as an industry are still hampered by self-erected silos. We have barriers erected around companies, around products and even among some people,” he said.
