As the world becomes more connected, traditional industry boundaries are becoming more intrinsically linked as well. In the automotive industry, for example, connected vehicles are morphing into increasingly connected communities encompassing cities, homes, workplaces, insurance companies, commerce and beyond. However, as the “art of the possible” is being pondered, pioneers are quickly discovering that connected community value is intrinsically related to the value of the data within the community. At the same time, this raises important data management questions. For example, how will data be shared and used within the community? How can security and governance be ensured? And, how can data management practices be audited over time to ensure compliance with established standards? In this session, learn how new technologies such as blockchain and open source data management solutions can be used to provide end-to-end data governance processes (i.e. data access, permissions and audit), essential for creating trust among community stakeholders.

Best Practices for Managing and Sharing Data in a Connected World

Over the last decade I was involved with a P&C insurer doing various projects & initiatives. They were substantial and valuable activities, but all were focused on the near term and essentially dealing with the status quo. During my last week, when I was wrapping up my last project I was asked “what issues should they look out for that would need to be addressed in the longer term?” Great question, but I hadn’t put any thought into that so there was no insightful or useful answer I could share. But… …I got to thinking. Autonomous Vehicles are coming and they are supposed to have a big impact. What exactly would it be? Maybe a dip or shift, just another ripple & then things would carry on as normal, a real change, what exactly? So I started doing some research and concluded that the end game was Fully Autonomous Rides; which led me to the conclusion that this will be the single biggest disruption since the first large scale industrial revolution driven by steam technology. The computer finally completely displaces the driver… …and then? Everything will be affected and nothing will be able to avoid some ripple crashing through their safe havens. I’ve shared very specific scenarios that can be tracked, so we can watch it unfold with a game plan. And to answer the question posed by the P&C exec… .... You need to plan for the entire collapse of your industry; it is only 10 to 15 years away.

Introduction to Jammu & Kashmir and its rich cultural heritage Four Famous Temples In Jammu & Kashmir-Welcome to the land of breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage – Jammu & Kashmir! Temples play a significant role in the spiritual fabric of Jammu & Kashmir, attracting pilgrims from far and wide. Let’s delve into the world of four famous temples that hold great importance in this enchanting region. Importance of temples in the religious landscape of Jammu & Kashmir Nestled in the breathtaking Himalayan region, Jammu & Kashmir boasts a rich cultural heritage deeply rooted in spirituality and tradition. Temples play a vital role in this religious landscape, serving as epicentres of faith and devotion. These sacred sites not only hold historical importance but also serve as symbols of unity among diverse communities residing in the region. The temples of Jammu & Kashmir stand as architectural marvels, showcasing intricate designs and craftsmanship that reflect the artistic prowess of ancient builders. Each temple tells a unique story steeped in mythology and folklore, captivating visitors with tales of gods and goddesses. From elaborate rituals to serene meditative spaces, these temples offer solace to seekers on their spiritual journey. They provide a sanctuary for worshippers to seek blessings, find peace, or simply immerse themselves in the divine energy that permeates these hallowed grounds. Vaishno Devi Temple: A popular pilgrimage site for Hindus Tucked away in the picturesque hills of Jammu & Kashmir lies the revered Vaishno Devi Temple, drawing millions of devotees each year. The journey to this sacred site involves a challenging trek through winding paths and breathtaking landscapes. Upon reaching the temple, visitors are greeted by the divine aura and tranquillity that permeates the atmosphere.

The chanting of hymns and ringing bells reverberate through the air as devotees offer prayers and seek blessings from Mother Vaishno Devi. Pilgrims leave feeling spiritually rejuvenated and grateful for having experienced such a profound connection with divinity amidst nature’s beauty at Vaishno Devi Temple.
