The digital age has revolutionized< people´s lives, it has generated profound changes in our society. Internet, computers and devices modified the habits and customs of our society, allowing people to interact with each other around the world, chat with family and friends, share moments, work remotely, compare goods and services, order groceries, buy technology items and carry out banking operations. No one in 1983 (year of internet born) would have imagined that.

For an industry, and a world, that is becoming increasingly digitized, automated, and reliant on technology, where do people factor in and why should we keep the “human element” top of mind? According to author and consultant, Manuel Palachuk, the human element encompasses those skills and abilities that come purely from being human – drive, ambition, compassion, empathy and understanding.

Robo-advisors and Insurance-Linked Securities – two young business models in two different industries that have seen steep growth during the last decade. Robo-advisors have been successful by automating investment advice, making wealth management more efficient and accessible to a broader client base, while ILS sources new insurance capacity by allowing the financial market to invest in insurance risks largely uncorrelated to other financial instruments.
