#abiconf24 Matthew Brewis, Insurance lead at @TheFCA on the panel #ConsumerDuty 6 months on session: "The FCA is looking for iterative improvement from firms - and will be for a long time".

[mike ellicock @MikeEllicock]

#ABIConf24 Sam White from Stella was super impressive - looking forward to having a chat to explore @PlainNumbers partnership for Stella Insurance - seems like there might be a good fit...

[The ABI @The_ABI_UK]

Sam White, Stella Insurance, says attracting creativity to the industry can help drive innovation and solve problems. #ABIConf24

#abiconf24 my quote of the day so far comes from @martincoppack from @FairByDesign "Product Design beats consumer education hands down". @PlainNumbers couldn't agree more (having worked hard on the other side for over a decade, as Martin has too). #abiconf24

[mike ellicock @MikeEllicock]

#ABIConf24 now @BimAfolami talking about the Advice Gap - a huge issue that so many of our @PlainNumbers Partners want to address but feel held back by current regulation. Our response to the @hmtreasury and @TheFCA consultation on this will be winging its way to them tomorrow.

#abiconf24 @maryportas in discussion with @NickyMorgan01 Mary's no.1 thing for all businesses is trust - the @BritishInsurers and so many of their members are leading the way on that within #financialservices as @PlainNumbers Partners.

[mike ellicock @MikeEllicock]

Great to be back at the ABI Conference - looking forward to hearing so many @PlainNumbers Partners on the various panels through the day...

[The ABI @The_ABI_UK]

Welcome to #ABIConf24! We have an exciting day of brilliant speakers, lively debates, insightful Q&As, thought-provoking discussions & more!

[mike ellicock @MikeEllicock]

@McnabGareth Thanks for mentioning @PlainNumbers, Gareth. As you may know I spent a while fighting the good fight at @Nat_Numeracy - v little enthusiasm to address issues for the 'stock' of adults, with the emphasis always on the 'flow' in the Ed system, often in spite of the evidence...

[Plain Numbers @PlainNumbers]

Great news! Our webinar is now fully booked!

Due to the overwhelming interest, we are planning to host another session - stay tuned.

For now, if you're interested in learning more about Plain Numbers email us at [email protected]. Our team is ready to chat with you!

[mike ellicock @MikeEllicock]

Been a while since I was up in London. This was a great event - @TheFCA #ConsumerDuty 3 months in - and the consensus among the panel was that there is a long way to go - but now all heading in the right direction so that's a good thing!

[Plain Numbers @PlainNumbers]

Our Chief Exec @MikeEllicock spoke at @InstinctifPtnrs offices today for their Consumer Duty event - it was great to see an array of financial service firms interested in discussing good outcomes for customers 🤝

@andyratcliffe9 @dmthomas90 @jonathansimons @conradwolfram @PlainNumbers ...and 'maths' isn't the answer - something along the lines of what @conradwolfram is on about - or Stephen Pinker's 'Rationality' or even learning the 10 points in @TimHarford's How to Make the World Add Up is what is needed...

[mike ellicock @MikeEllicock]

@andyratcliffe9 @dmthomas90 @jonathansimons @conradwolfram But the main reason for the PM etc. interest in 'maths' is that most adults are unbelievably poorly equipped to use numbers and data to make good decisions - have a look at our @PlainNumbers trials for evidence of that: https://t.co/aNkT4YkBa7

[mike ellicock @MikeEllicock]

@dmthomas90 @andyratcliffe9 @jonathansimons It all depends what we want to achieve. If we want people to be able to use numbers and data to make good decisions in their daily lives, this rarely involves much of what is traditionally taught in maths. The phrase is too simplistic @conradwolfram's The Math(s) Fix is better!

[Plain Numbers @PlainNumbers]

@andyratcliffe9 @jonathansimons @dmthomas90 Indeed, @andyratcliffe9 Rather than reinvent the wheel maybe they should have a look at this...: https://t.co/6OjVkbDIHQ
