??ACT is thrilled to announce the release of our next “Letter to the Industry,” focusing on Artificial Intelligence. This letter continues our series, building on the valuable insights shared in our previous letters.?? https://hubs.ly/Q03dw32D0 Last fall, ACT hosted a roundtable session at Ivans Connect, where agents, carriers, and technology providers engaged in interactive discussions on Data, Connectivity, Artificial Intelligence, and the People/Culture woven through them. These conversations focused on understanding the challenges agencies face and the solutions they seek in these critical areas. What began as a single “Letter to the Industry” has grown into a series of insightful letters, thanks to the substantial contributions from these discussions. The insights and perspectives shared have proven too valuable to fit into just one letter. ? In November, we featured the initial overall summary letter of the discussions in Independent Agent Magazine! ? January and February saw the release of ACT’s “Data-Letter to the Industry” and "Connectivity - Letter to the Industry" Now, in March, we are excited to delve into Artificial Intelligence. This letter explores AI as an undeniable part of our future and outlines stakeholders' key questions regarding its use, risks, and where it is going. Spread the word, share the mission, and stay tuned for upcoming letters: ? April – People/Culture AND DON’T FORGET ?? These pillars are the foundation for our new work groups! Learn more about them here If you are a ACT Supporting Partner or Big 'I' member agency please sign up if you are interested in sharing your knowledge and expertise to help and support independent agents. ??

As cliche as it is to be a business person and quote Sun Tzu, I'm a big fan of the idea that knowing yourself is equally important as knowing your enemy. Applying that to the technology space -- it is important to be honest with what overlap you have with a competitor and what aspects of your company or services set you apart. Every partner we have on The Insurance Perspectives Podcast (presented by HawkSoft) is asked to identify the factor that differentiates them in their vertical and how that is meaningful to agency partners. Kris Bryant of Rhodian Group speaks to how a combination of cyber security compliance management and traditional MSP/IT services make Rhodian Group a valuable team member for independent insurance agencies. I really enjoyed the full time spent talking with Kris and Jim Dahoney of Marshal and Sterling. Links to the episode in the comments below!
