Successfully automating key workflows in the London market within weeks

Overcoming operational barriers to deliver automation at speed and with control to streamline traditional processes

155 Bishopsgate, London

Free to attend    |    Only 15 places

Overview

Automation is no longer a future ambition within the London market. Rising cost pressures, operational bottlenecks, increasing data demands and rising client expectations are forcing firms to deliver tangible improvements at pace. Yet many transformation programmes still stall in long delivery cycles, complex integrations, control concerns and change resistance.

This invitation only breakfast briefing will focus on how organisations can overcome the operational realities of automating core workflows within weeks rather than years. Drawing on practical delivery experience, the discussion will explore how to identify the right processes for rapid automation, simplify handoffs across underwriting, operations and technology, and establish governance that enables speed without compromising resilience, auditability or regulatory confidence.

Key themes for discussion:

  • Embedding automation safely into live operational environments while integrating with core platforms, managing dependencies and minimising operational disruption
  • Ensuring automated workflows operate on trusted data while maintaining effective exception handling, auditability and meets regulatory standards
  • Redesigning roles and responsibilities within technology and data teams to ensure automation delivers measurable business outcomes
  • Delivering speed without creating new layers of architectural complexity, technical debt or fragmented processes that undermine long term scalability
