Enabling data-first broker operations in the London market

Overcoming the operational challenges to improve efficiency, streamline workflows and create the foundations for future growth and AI readiness

Bob Bob Ricard, Leadenhall

Free to attend | Only 15 places

Overview

London market brokers are under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, enhance the client experience and support growth without adding further operational cost and complexity. Yet for many firms, critical client, placement, contract and renewal information remains fragmented across Word documents, spreadsheets, email trails and disconnected systems.

This creates friction across the business with brokers spending too much time rekeying information, chasing different document versions, managing manual workarounds and relying on data that is difficult to trust. Operations teams face duplicated effort, inconsistent processes and limited visibility, resulting in an unclear view of pipeline, performance and client activity. At the same time, expectations around automation, reporting, analytics and AI readiness continue to rise.

To compete in an increasingly digital market, brokers need to move beyond systems that are used only for debiting or downstream processing. They need a more structured, data-first approach that captures the information sitting inside contracts, placements and renewals at source, then makes that data available across the business.

Attend this breakfast briefing to explore how you can overcome the practical challenges of moving from document-led and spreadsheet-driven ways of working to more connected, efficient and data-led operations.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Streamlining contract and placement processes to reduce operational friction

  • Improving data quality and consistency to enable better reporting and decision-making

  • Overcoming barriers to system adoption and evolving broker workflows

  • Aligning people, process and technology to drive operational efficiency

  • Building scalable, data-driven operating models to support growth and client service

Building the AI-enabled broker operating model

Using better data, smarter workflows and practical automation to improve efficiency, client service and growth

  • Tackling the fragmented data, document-led processes and manual workarounds that prevent brokers from using AI and automation effectively across placement, contract management and renewals

  • Identifying where AI can reduce operational friction first, from submission handling and contract creation to renewal workflows, pipeline visibility and client servicing

  • Moving beyond disconnected pilots by embedding AI into broker workflows, supported by trusted data, consistent processes and clear operational controls

  • Improving productivity and client responsiveness by reducing rekeying, manual checking, version control issues and duplicated effort across broking and operations teams

  • Building the data foundations, governance and adoption model needed to scale AI safely across broker operations without adding cost, complexity or operational risk
