Sp Ep Ian Summers & Melody Miller: Why the people side of change is always the most challenging

Today’s episode is packed full of really practical insights because this one is all about making things happen.

So often in our sector we can very clearly see the change we have to make or the new system we have to adopt to be able to improve the way we do things, but we find it really hard  to achieve final implementation.

It’s as if the green pastures are right in front of us, tantalisingly in view, but there is a steep ravine that we have to cross to get there.

As Ian Summers (Pictured, Top), who has been helping his employers and clients implement major change projects all his long career notes in this podcast, it’s incredibly common that the change management side of a project is overlooked or underestimated.

And even if the systems are ready, are the people in the business really ready to start using them with confidence?

This kind of skill is a very specialist one and its very specific to each industry. That’s why it is great to have insurance change management specialist Melody Miller (Pictured, bottom) on the show.

Melody is an Executive Director at Sea Change London, which is a member of AdvantageGo’s ecosystem and is an expert in getting complex, time-sensitive and often existential mega change projects over the line.

In this podcast we dissect the major changes facing players in the London and International insurance markets.

Ian and Melody are on excellent form and do a great job of simplifying often complicated ideas so that laypeople like you and me can understand them.

So, if you want to learn how to handle change better and get an expert feel for where difficult market-wide projects including the transformational but mission-critical Blueprint Two might be headed in 2025, I can highly recommend a listen.
