The Bridge International, a trusted boutique management consulting firm, was proud to be the official sponsor of this year’s cocktail event at the Insurance Council of Australia’s (ICA) 2024 Annual Conference, hosted in Brisbane.
Partner, Stuart Brown, representing The Bridge International, delivered a speech at the event, emphasising our commitment to supporting the insurance industry’s journey toward greater resilience and sustainability. As Queensland faces increasing challenges from extreme weather events, the theme of this year’s conference—resilience—couldn’t be more timely.
Brown highlighted the pressing issues confronting the insurance industry, stressing the importance of collaboration across sectors—government, advisors, brokers, and insurers. “Today’s conference was a fantastic opportunity to collaborate for the greater good of the insurance industry. It is crucial for all of us to come together to strengthen the industry as a whole,” he said.
We at The Bridge are uniquely positioned to play a pivotal role in this collaboration. With a dedicated team of consultants who have deep experience across the insurance value chain, we bridge the gap between strategy and execution. In 2024, we expanded our practice to include CXO2, a specialised advisory practice dedicated to customer experience and journey mapping. The CXO2 team brings a customer-first approach, helping insurers design streamlined experiences and elevate customer satisfaction.
“Our mission at The Bridge aligns closely with the vision of a sustainable and resilient Australia,” Brown said. “We believe in the power of collaboration—between the insurance industry, government, and community—to ensure that homes are not just rebuilt but fortified, that families are supported, and that communities come out stronger.”
The Bridge International’s involvement in this year’s ICA Conference extends beyond monetary sponsorship. The firm is passionate about being part of the broader conversation on the future of insurance and resilience in Australia. “We look forward to working closely with ICA and its members to address the challenges ahead,” Brown concluded.
As the insurance industry continues to evolve and respond to global challenges, we stand ready to contribute our expertise and resources to help create a more resilient, sustainable future for all Australians.
