"Change in the digital economy and understanding the human dynamics at play"

The Burgundy Suite - Minster Exchange

London Market Professionals

The new place for insurance people to meet, learn and socialise

London Market Professionals (LMP) is proud to welcome you to the first ‘CHANGE Matters’ meeting. ‘CHANGE Matters’ will become a regular forum for experienced change professionals who work in the London insurance market to meet, network and discuss any key issues, drivers and concerns of the day which impact our industry.

The overall aspiration is to enhance the standing, knowledge and awareness of those responsible for change delivery in the London Market. CHANGE Matters meetings will be held every 2-3 months and will involve presentations from keynote speakers on topics of mutual interest, which add value to the change community. Audience interaction will be encouraged. Where the event adds value to a individual's knowledge and skill set, it may qualify for continuing professional points, depending on the rules of the respective governing professional body.

The post event drinks gatherings are an important part of the LMP events. They will allow practitioners to interact with their peers and exchange viewpoints and best practice, as well as build social networks.

The meetings will be held in central venues such as the London Underwriting Centre and the Lloyd’s Building. LMP was founded by Brian Groves and Roger Oldham in January 2012. 

This event is kindly being sponsored by Dyamyx - leaders in workflow design and content management

What happens at Change Matters events?

We will be inviting quality speakers from the world of education, learning and from our own sector too. The aim is to assist attendees with their professional development, allow them to discuss and debate matters of common interest and meet their peers in a friendly social environment.

How often will the events be held?

At least four - six times annually, late in the afternoon on a Thursday to ensure as little impact on the working day, as well as allow people the freedom to stay on for an hour afterwards to socialise over a glass of wine.

Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in operational change, COO's/CIO's/CAO's/CTO's/CEO's/Operations/Change Managers/ Project Managers/Programme Managers/Business Analysts and everyone else!

How much does it cost?

Nothing, it is completely free to all London Market Professionals.

What's in it for me?

Knowledge, education, opinions, questions, panel discussions, social interaction.

We have big plans for LMP including numerous ancillary benefits for members, supplementary training and education and wider social events bringing together members of the HR Matters, Legal & Compliance Matters and Cloud Matters groups.

When is the first Change Matters event?
