Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether as an insurance consultant or a witness on the stand in a civil trial, I rely to a great extent on my 27-year career in the property and casualty industry. More importantly, the variety of experiences encountered during those 27 years, in various positions and levels of responsibility, provided a unique perspective on the extent to which attorneys and claim representatives/adjusters effectively carry out their respective obligations to their clients and customers. Successful organizations are those that are characterized by an ongoing search for a better way to conduct the business in which they are engaged. A "better way" does not come about by chance. The failure to constantly assess the changing factors in the environment in which they conduct their business will surely lead to stagnation, minimal success rates and even worse - failure! Having served in a wide variety of capacities in the property and casualty claim arena, I've been in a position to observe the effect that rapidly changing factors have had in this business environment. It has been increasingly difficult for attorneys and adjusters to find that common ground necessary to bring about time-efficient and mutually agreeable resolutions of their cases. The adjuster you interacted and negotiated with five, ten or fifteen years ago is not the same adjuster you deal with today. Their training and the technical resources at their disposal today make them a more formidable adversary. On the other hand, insurance companies expect a great deal more from these individuals as a result of the investment the companies have made in these training and technical resources. The companies appear to be operating from a perspective that these new resources they have provided to their claim staffs should allow them to be more efficient, i.e. handle more cases more expeditiously. The reality is that despite these advances in the resources at the adjuster's disposal, they must still operate in a one-on-one adversarial, give and take setting in order to successfully resolve their cases. By way of first hand observations throughout my career and the feedback received from numerous attorneys in the plaintiffs' bar, it is becoming exceeding more difficult to interact and amicably resolve their cases with today's claim staff. What I hope to achieve in this writing is to give you a better insight into today's claims adjuster, to include the nature and extent of their training, the new technical resources available to them, how they are evaluated, how their cases are evaluated today, and a number of suggestions as to how to achieve a win-win resolution of your clients' cases. You will also be taken on an insider's tour of today's claim organization and structure and the unique world of insurance company financials. Today's difficult claim/legal environment came about as a result of the failure of both camps to understand and keep pace with the rapid rate of change that has occurred. Take this opportunity to analyze the inner workings of today's claim organization from a new perspective. Leverage some or all of these concepts to enhance your effectiveness. Ask yourself if there is indeed a "better way".

Book excerpt: BALANCING THE FATE OF THE WORLD ON THE EDGE OF ITS BLADE 'His Heart was beating like a drum at dawn. Something clawed at his stomach, something with talons from his worst nightmares.’ An invitation to visit one of Cairo's antiquarian booksellers sets in train a series of terrifying ordeals for Jack Goodrich. Having been shown a priceless sword claimed to have belonged to the Prophet Muhammad, Jack returns home brimming with excitement. But that's when the nightmare begins… A dangerous new movement within the ranks of fundamentalist Islam wish to put a new Caliph on the throne, to rule the Muslim world. To do this they require the Sword, and they will stop at nothing to get it. With the deadliest of weapons in his hands, if the new Caliph were to declare jihad, the consequences would be catastrophic. A tense and gripping thriller on a truly international scale that poses a chilling question: how can you stop a holy war before it starts? Praise for Daniel Easterman 'Daniel Easterman has a string of taut, exotically plotted, international thrillers to his credit... He can weave a web of suspense, laced with historical and mythological reference that baits the imagination, satisfactorily embroidered with bullet holes and bloodshed. All cracking examples of the genre'—The Times 'Daniel Easterman's thrillers are never less than enthralling, elegantly written and frighteningly credible'—Val McDermid

Download or read book Futureproof written by Jon Coaffee and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling and definitive account of why we need to radically rethink our approach to dealing with catastrophic events Catastrophic events such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the Tohoku "Triple Disaster" of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown that hit the eastern seaboard of Japan in 2012 are seen as surprises that have a low probability of occurring but have a debilitating impact when they do. In this eye-opening journey through modern and ancient risk management practices, Jon Coaffee explains why we need to find a new way to navigate the deeply uncertain world that we live in. Examining how governments have responded to terrorist threats, climate change, and natural hazards, Coaffee shows how and why these measures have proven inadequate and what should be done to make us more resilient. While conventional approaches have focused on planning and preparing for disruptions and enhanced our ability to "bounce back," our focus should be on anticipating future challenges and enhancing our capacity to adapt to new threats.
Download or read book Life from Our Land written by Marcus Grodi and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2015-10-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few places left in this world where we can escape the influence and din of progress and technology. Voices from every direction and perspective beckon, even push, us forward toward more, greater and faster technology, with the teaser of more wealth, more possessions, more pleasure, and, consequently, more happiness and contentment. This is how the present American dream is now defined, and every investment broker and political candidate promises that if we trust them, we also can trust that one day it will all be ours. But have we become so blinded by the material, industrial, progressivist culture in which we live that we've lost the ability, not just to achieve, but to even discern what true happiness and beauty is? What criteria do we use to plan for tomorrow, for the future, for retirement, and when this life is over, are we anything more than just fertilizer to give back to Mother Earth what we have so irresponsibility taken from her? And in the end, with all the opportunities we've had in this life, what is important? What lasts? Has our culture's enticement to always look for an easier, labor saving means to do everything left us a flabby, flaccid culture? In this book Marcus Grodi discusses what he and his family discovered, mostly by surprise, after moving from the city to 25-acres of rural Ohio farm land. This involved a radical shift in priorities for all of them, but mostly it helped them discover some critical truths about life, simplicity, detachment, about our relationship to nature, and to nature's Creator, that apply regardless of where a person lives. He offers wonderful reflections about life from this “going back to the land”experience as a metaphor of authentic conversion and drawing closer to God.
Download or read book Year 2000 written by Nancy P. James and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new millennium. The Year 2000. Beyond Mayan prophecies, a more immediate danger loomed: Two-digit year date fields had been used by software programmers for decades to conserve expensive computer storage space. As a consequence, legacy systems reading “00” on January 1, 2000 would most probably interpret the date as 1900. Infrastructures critical to civilization—including heat, electricity, water and sanitation—were at risk, all complete unknowns. There was fear of an accidental nuclear arms deployment. There was fear of monetary systems being jeopardized, infrastructure collapse, internet security failures, and interruption of government-provided social programs. Banks experienced massive cash withdrawals while law firms worked overtime to develop novel litigation plans. Insurance enterprises worried. Year 2000: The Inside Story of Y2K Panic shares the untold story of the actors operating on the global stage responsible for managing computer hardware and software for Year 2000 compliance, thus keeping national infrastructures, finance, and commerce functioning. It turned out that the world did not end January 1, 2000. In fact, most people rang in the new year with the perception that nothing happened at all. This positive outcome was not a stroke of luck, nor was it because people overestimated or exaggerated Y2K risk. It was only possible because people across industries, from legal clerks to programmers to President Bill Clinton himself, worked tirelessly to offset disaster. But the Millennium did not pass completely harmlessly: it turns out that the United States, for a brief period, lost all satellite reconnaissance at 7:00 PM EST, December 31, 1999 (midnight GMT 01/01/2000). As a leading consultant and speaker on the challenges of Y2K during the lead-up to the new millennium, author Nancy P. James was directly involved in preparation for Y2K on the local and global stage. Using first-person experience, primary source documents outlining Y2K issues, anxieties, and the actions, influences, opinions, and strategies of those involved, James reveals the untold story of the behind-the-scenes scramble that made Y2K – seemingly – come and go, and offers stark lessons on how the global community can unite to face problems that challenge our world at large. James tells the contemporaneous story of those national and international Y2K actors who at the time did not know the outcome of the Year 2000 computer problem.
